Proposal title
06 - Flying part of the task twice
Existing text
4.24.5 During a navigation along a leg, competitors must not backtrack along the track line against the direction of
the task. Backtracking is defined as flying with an angle of greater than 90 degrees in respect to the intended
flight direction. This limitation is extended to the corridor defined by the width used to score gates in the task.

4.24.6 If a competitor flies a part of the task twice, all photos, markers and all gates on this part of the task are invalidated for this competitor. No score points will be awarded to this competitor for the part of the track flown multiple times. If a turnpoint marked by a photo or a marker was supposed to be found on such part of the task, the following leg is invalidated in the same manner.
Reason
Flying a part of the task multiple times created an unfair advantage, giving another chance to find photos or markers or to fly through a check gates.
I leave to the decision of the S10 editor, whether this should become a new paragraph or should be added to the backtracking paragraph.
