I am looking for a document, web page etc that explains, in words and
pictures, the task types used in today's SSA sanctioned competitions? Yes there is an explanation in the rule book, below is from the 2010 sports class rule book, but it is not easy to understand or visualize for us newbies. Thanks in advance From the 2010 Sports Class rulebook 10.3.2 Task Types 10.3.2.1 Assigned Task - not used. 10.3.2.2 Modified Assigned Task (MAT) - Speed over a course of one or more turnpoints, with a finish at the contest site. 10.3.2.2.1 The CD shall designate a minimum flight time. 10.3.2.2.2 The CD may designate from zero to 11 turnpoints. Designated turnpoints must be attempted in the designated sequence, but a pilot may elect to finish after any turnpoint in the sequence. 10.3.2.2.3 A pilot who achieves all designated turnpoints may elect to fly to additional turnpoints. Such pilot-selected turnpoints must comply with any restrictions the CD has imposed under Rule 10.3.2.2.4, and no turnpoint may be repeated unless at least two intervening turnpoints are claimed (the Start and the Finish are not turnpoints). 10.3.2.2.4 The CD may restrict: • The maximum number of turnpoints to a number less than the normal maximum of 11 • The number of times any particular turnpoint may be claimed • The choice of the first turnpoint (applies only if the CD designates no turnpoints per Rule 10.3.2.2.2) 10.3.2.2.5 ‡ The CD may designate a final turnpoint that all pilots must use immediately prior to a finish. This final turnpoint shall be no further than 10 miles from the finish (gate or cylinder center). 10.3.2.3 Turn Area Task (TAT) - Speed over a course through one or more turn areas, with a finish at the contest site. 10.3.2.3.1 Turn areas are turnpoints with a designated radius defining a cylinder. 10.3.2.3.2 The CD shall designate a minimum flight time, a sequence of one or more turnpoints and a radius for each which shall be an integral number of miles not greater than 30. 10.3.2.3.3 Turnpoint cylinders shall be chosen so that no task leg can be shorter than the restrictions imposed by Rule 10.3.1.1 |
