There is, but is can be quite small. Most contests use a finish cylinder with a radius of a mile, with a minimum finish height appropriate for the site, commonly around 500 feet or so.
A few places can still use the lower line finish(bottom about 100 ft AGL)where it is deemed that it can be done with adequate safety.
