The "contest corner" is back -- I'll be writing more regularly for

tasking is up now,

Good article. The last MAT I flew was like that -- 2008 Sports Class
at Perry.
We had 3 turnpoints assigned with 1.5 hr min (it was a late starting
day).
Most of the finishers were able to make all three plus one. One
finisher
made just the first TP and returned, to beat minimum distance by 500
feet.
A few even landed out. All in all it was a really fun flight; I saw
lots of other
gliders on course all the way around.
