Well, league speed can be considered a racing task, and most speed races are on a closed course. So it does make some sense.

Sean, would you like to weigh in on that comment about OLC League Speed being a racing task? :-)

Hardly, Tom. It is the fastest 2.5 hour segment during your flight. All they did is made it so you have to start and end your soaring performance within 15 KM of the same place to get OLC League Speed Points. The start and end of the Speed League segment don't have to be within 15 KM of each other. At least, not by my read of it.

As Dan said, "Go fly and have fun!"
