Turnpoints are usually over populated areas such as towns. Turnpoints are naturally an area of higher collision risk because of converging headings. Pilots tend to outland/get low near turnpoints because of tunnel vision or trying round the turnpoints efficiently in high wind. Perhaps turnpoints shouldn't be over populated areas/landmarks in competitions in this age of GPS navigation?
