My 20c worth is I think I prefer multiple start points and about half my comp flying was in the the VNE 1000m start line which was bordering on dangerous.
As for finishing I really like the 2 or 3 km circle at say 1000ft. I have been at a German comps years ago and they had well over 100 gliders and all finishes were 3km out at 300 m I seem to remember. They also had a well ordered landing procedures and only one main strip. I was impressed. I think the last out & return was set in nationals about 1970 and cats cradles continued on for about another 10years., With new tasks being set with haste on the grid this conflicting directions must be thought about & usually is. .
