I'll be a whole lot more upset if they ever get rid of sectors than
this bit of administrivia will get me. I've proven to myself dozens
of times I can't hit a cylinder @ 16,000 feet without being head down
and locked staring at a pda.



Not to worry. In fact, as of tomorrow, Cylinders have been dropped from
the options available for Start & Finish. They can still be used at Turn
Points, WITHOUT the requirement for all Turn Points to use the same OZ
type. (There is still that pesky 1/2 km "Cylinder Correction" penalty,
though, for each time the courseline crosses a Cylinder boundary.
