When the LSF was formed the separation was very general, between slope and thermal. DSing is a slope flight so if you want to do 8 hours of DSing more power to you. Handlaunch has aways been a thermal task, so it naturally falls under that category. There has been some lee-way given for launches, either from a hi-start or winch. You may recall that LSF started out with ROGs for all line launched tasks.
Electrics have a propeller, so don't even go there, it is a power event. Cross Country is already there within the Goal and return tasks. If you do a record attempt and set the record, I beleive it has been accepted as a contest win. With the planes of today, if you cannot do the tasks, then you should do more practicing. Nowadays, excpet for contests, the tasks can be completed so fast it is not funny.
