Consider this, 2 minutes per pilot times 15 pilots is 30 minutes per 
round. 4 rounds is 2 hours longer. A 30 pilot class would take an hour 
longer per round, and perhaps up to 4 hours or more for the contest. I 
wonder how many judges would appreciate an hour or so less per round 
sitting in the chair. It is not about the time for an individual pilot, 
it is all about the cumulative effect of those few seconds per pilot 
that make the difference to how long a round takes to be flown.
