Rules geeks who just can't wait can read it on my website,

It says "Thus, if you start out the top or back and fly through the
cylinder, you will be forced to start again when you exit the cylinder
a second time. There's no point in trying. "

This was kicked around on RAS. I don't agree you will be forced to
exit the cylinder a second time. I don't see a discussion of an exit
at the back followed by overflight of the cylinder, bumping prestart
gaggles, but not descending below max start height.

I admit I have not studied the new rule yet. What distance is used
for a start out of the top with the cylinder being cleared before
descending below max start height? It used to be distance B but now
is it distance C (not depicted) where C is the distance between the
first turn and the point where the cylinder was exited though the top.
