If you have a Turn Area Task and you fly into turn 1, then fly into turn
2 then pass through the finish circle could/should it be possible to leave the finish circle and return to turn 2 and fly deeper into the circle than you did the first time and then return to the finish circle? On an option task, you could return to the finish, leave and attempt to go to an additional turnpoint, but if you landed out you could (if I understand this correctly) fill out your landing card as you had finished the first time and not be penalized for the landout. However, if you successfully made an additional turnpoint and returned to the finish point you could then add that distance to your task (via landing card) if you so chose. If you can do that for an option task, could one apply similar logic to the TAT as I describe above. Take a "finish" to make sure you didn't land out, and if conditions improved then go back to the last turn point and fly to a farther point within the circle. There is no credit for adding an additional turnpoint, just pushing the second turnpoint mark farther out for a longer distance calculation for the original task. Winscore does not allow this in it's current thinking and it's kind of a moot point because a change in our score wouldn't change our standing for either the day or the overall, but it certainly begs for a clarification. It might be nice to clarify this point in the rules because someone might enter the finish cylinder one day without any intent to "finish", but receive a "finish" from Winscore they weren't expecting.
