Does the closed airspace rule (loss of all points plus 100 pt penalty)
apply if, following a task abort on course (with enough distance on

(legally, and in contact with approach, etc), enroute to a safe
recovery back at the home base?

I really don't understand why US has to have a different set of
contest rules from the rest of the world. The FAI rules seem far more
sensible when it comes to handling airspace.

OTOH, I don't know why the FAI has to use a different set of contest
rules from the US... *But that's just me I guess...

Perhaps looking at the number of participant in each area would give
you a clue? Perhaps looking a what rules are applied when a World
Championship is held in USA would provide another?
