I think you missed the point of the LSF. It's not the tasks. It's

more people involved in soaring and the LSF.

Yes our lines were

Humourous moment in the F3J worlds early rounds, I'm timing Tom K.
Joe is calling for Tom K and throwing Tom's Supra. Joe complains that the

is a thinner mylar, also clear but sticky on one side. I put a piece
upside down where the arm is to keep it from getting stuck, then
Did you know that on the second last fly-off round Arend's line was
less than 1 foot short?
I believe that that line was the shortest of all that were measured. Also,

I have been doing the same thing for about a year now. Location (Latitude
