Here we go again.

And what do you do about landouts? How do you avoid the incentive to
dive to 100 feet as time ends? What happens to the "beauty and
simplicity" of the scoring system as we add bonus points for making it
back to the field, so you have now to make a sophisticated calculation
about whether to drift to the downwind edge of the task area, or make
it back? Or when the optimal strategy is to time out 20 miles downwind
at 500 feet, then see if you can limp back to the airport for bonus
points? Yuk.


Then don't award any bonus for landing back!

Penalise things you dont want, landouts, low finishes, high starts etc.
