I like course 2 as well only backwards so the loop is earlier. You do have to remember to design for both days so you can run it backwards, or make the mods to run it backwards.

Also with Scott's layouts, remember the grey area can/should be used for grid all the way up to the edge to maximize course space.

Don't let JE convince you you need more cones. As long as you exit an element headed for the next, and there are necessary pointers, etc... it works much better to be open IMHO.

Scott and Matt did a great job on their course, and then I offered some suggestions on visual cues mostly after they were done. I think it was good to have fresh eyes look at it that hadn't seen it all through it's construction.

It is tougher to see what is missing if you alrady know where it goes.

Good job by the way.
