"What if a flyer just used one of his flights
to test an idea about a building or tree line advantage?"

To me a contest is just that, not a personal soaring experiment to try 
something and then if does not work you get out of the failure.  If you want to 
experiment, go early and try the experiments and then be prepared for the 
contest.  The long haul steady pilot is the guy that knows his ship and what 
different conditions yield.  I think of TK, Rich B., McCarthy, Don Harris, 
Daryl, Joe, Skip and others when I think of this kind of prepared pilot.  They 
have put their flight time in and know what to expect in all conditions, that 
is why they win and others moan about the what-ifs.

Just my feeling on the matter and I know that the Atlanta guys had this on the 
board from the get-go, so all knew the rule.  Just wanting to know what folks 
are thinking.
