Why does the Sporting code require "Goal" to be a finish point???

I got lost a long way back in this thread, so please
re-educate me. The FAI sporting code sect 4.2 defines
declaration requirements and says 'the last declaration
made before takeoff is the only one valid for the flight,
but a concurrently flown and different competition
task is allowed.' Seems that your electronic declaration
on the roll is the only one that counts.

Also, to confuse me further, Annex C sect 4.5 illustrates
multiple claims from a single declared flight. It
seems to say a Diamond goal may be claimed between
two declared turnpoints which are neither start nor
finish, but elements in a more complicated course.
In the given example, if I read it right, the 'goal'
is not the finish point...perhaps I am not the only
one confused here ?

Should we call in the lawyers ?

For 300k diamond
goal you would need to have both the O&R and the finish
point included.
You can't have both points in the task for the state
record 'goal'.

It's not required that the declaration be in the logger,
though that can
be the most convenient at times. For a dual declaration,
the easiest
would be two paper ones, or perhaps one in the logger,
one on paper. If
you had two loggers, you could do it that way.
