Default safty finish at the 2007Sp.Nat's?

There is no requirement to be at 1000 feet at the edge of the five-mile
safety finish cylinder. The requirement is to have at least one fix inside
the cylinder that is at or greater than a 20:1 slope to the finish point at
the field. The pilot can then retreat to a safer landing point of his/her
choosing. The speed from the most favorable fix in the cylinder to the
finish line is a fixed 60 mph.

It seem that the safety finish was rejected based on the revised
score sheet. What are the details?

Several pilots lost speed points because they were below the 1000ft
AGL minimum at the edge of the safety finish cylinder. All flights
claiming a safety finish are currently under review. A new scoresheet
will be posted when available.

My mistake. Its the 20:1 requirement that is being revisited.
