definitely no circuits !! {edited}
Here iss the logic. We fly a standard circuit, because over time it has
proved to the the best and safest thing to do. During comps, we are
prepared to compromise safety. More people die in comps than during
non-competition flying.
Is it any wonder that most glider pilots are not comp pilots!?
