Our club 100ish km triangle is causing confusion as it flips from being a 28% triangle to not depending on the turning point style used.

TIB - DIS - PIC - NOE - TIB or reversed

Gives with FAI sectors:
28.2%/37.6% Triangle
Basis FAI 28% - Shape 1.080

And with barrels:
27.8%/37.3% Triangle
Basis FAI 25/45 - Shape 1.050

I'm sure your maths is right - is this what you'd expect to happen and is it as a result of the start on leg?

If you move the start/finish to TB1 it is interesting is that SeeYou give both variants as 28% triangles but your calculator doesn't !

Cheers
