1 - simple - 10km 1.4.3 - c Free distance using up to 3 TP's

2 - not so simple - A closed course is defined in 1.1.15 as 'A flight where
the glider is required to return to the START POINT at the finish of the
SOARING PERFORMANCE.' If you have to return to the start then a 'remote
finish' ( a term not actually defined in the code ) is of no benefit.
'Closed course' implies that the start point is both the start and end of
the soaring performance. You can however declare a closed 1000 triangle,
fall down at the 750 point and claim a 750 free distance. ( in the UK )

On a free distance flight there is apparently no limit to the seperation of
start and finish.

Trying to find the following information and an FAI Sporting Code
reference for the following:

1) The minimum separation between turnpoints on a 3-turn task

2) Maximum distance between start and finish on a closed circuit FAI
task
(O&R or Triangle)

Thanks!
