Don't know the details (I also did not see anything about this test) but I like what I'm reading. This can be a great way to help GFB improve the product, which is good for him and for all of us who fly and work in contests..

Guy put a lot of work into the latest version of Winscore, In Beta 6 that is now available he even added a calculation of the Max and Min possible speed that is available with the task, I think this will really help CDs judge if they have right sized the task for the day. I hope this leads to better tasking. I have played with it and I it helps me see that the TAT turn areas can be smaller and still allow the range of speed needed. [Smaller areas mean pilots fly closer to the same task which most pilots think is competitive]. Yes I have done the math by hand before, but when you are in a rush as often happens this is really helpful.

The Task library helps you reuse previous tasks, and then edit them. Also you can build a list of tasks for a site, then choose which one is best for that day's weather. I think this will be a huge time saver and lead to better tasking. You can sort the list of tasks in the library by the various columns such as min, max or nominal distance, time etc
