i think it is important to distinguish between 1 turn MAT's and more medium or long distance MAT's. The 1 turn MAT has strongly flavored most pilots opinions of MAT's in general but a well called "Long MAT" or even a "Medium MAT" is not far from a good ole fashioned assigned task in the "fun factor", in my opinion. A long MAT also allows for a lot of flexibility in the event that the day doesn't develop as quickly as hoped, or if there is a lot of question as to how quickly the day is going to develop, i.e. the last day at Sports Class Nationals 2014

As usual, this is really a CD issue, make sure your CD is educated and that your task advisors are also educated.
