From the latest SC3:
b. Triangle Speed Course as in 3.1.5g with distances of 100, 300, 500, 750, 1250 km, or greater multiples of 500 km. A record may be claimed for the declared course and any shorter triangle in compliance with the applicable triangle geometry requirements in 3.1.8. They skip 1000, 1500, 2000, etc... 5Z |

As written that excludes 1000km (which seems odd), but allows 1500, 2000, 2500, etc.. Perhaps it was a slip when they added 1250km? J. |

It also seems odd to have different distances for O&R and Triangles. |

it should be clear from the text , MULTIPLES OF 500KM ; 1000KM is two times 500km, 1500KM is three times 500km , 2000km is four times 500 km etc , so these distances are included !

It IS clear from the text: "... 1250 km, or GREATER multiples of 500 km". When I last checked, 1000km was not greater than 1250km - so it is excluded. (For 1500km and upwards we're all agreed.) Perhaps not what they intended, but it IS what is written! As Tim noted, that is at odds with the O&R rules. You may wish to agitate for change! J. |

I just believe it is not very good wording and therefore open to interpretation; May be " ....1250km, and multiples of 500km " would be more clear (multiples automatically means more than 1 x 500 km)?? Will be happy to send this information to the Sporting Code Committee Chairman if you agree! |
