Me again Andy, Just got out of the hot-tub and came up with the proper reply.........................There's a difference between an unnecessary risk in the finish gate and a necessary challenge in picking a champion. :) JJ Just twisting your tail JJ (hard to do in that Genesis - no tail boom). I do find the TAT and MAT formats present unique challenges around picking the best line - particularly in uneven weather. The AST gives you no such decisions. My memorable AST choices always seem to involve things like proximity to thunderstorms, big blue holes and unlandable terrain. Those are certainly good tests of skill and judgement - just different. I think it's good to have choices in tasking. Charlie has been great about matching the course to the day so I'm confident Parowan will have good tests of all the skill catagories. As I recall, most of the days at Parowan last year had the threat of OD, so if you reserved the 2-turn MAT for days with no OD potential you wouldn't get much chance to use it - probably the right choice. Remind me, I don't think the current MAT rules allow for restricting the number of turnpoints below 11 do they? 9B |
