Another box rule (discussion)

[Lance Van Nostrand]

The concept of a rectangular box, instead of one that is a "vee", is intriguing.  It's hard to judge, but it would allow closer in flight without detriment.

  There seems to be valid reasons to not change the present pattern box.
  There are also two seemingly valid questions / problems that the present box arrangement presents.
  1. Pilots flying optimum distance out increase the chance of mid air collision.
  2. Pilots who are somewhat vision limited who would prefer to fly closer in.
  A possible solution would be to revise the box rules to allow a person who in advance of his flight accepts a 2% total flight score downgrade to fly in closer and violate the 60 degree box lines without further downgrade.
  How about some comments and opinions and any other ideas which would address these issues. 
  Please don't boot me off of the list again I'm just trying to do my Job.
