SSS cylinder does not need a direction any longer.

[joergewald]

The SSS cylinder can be crossed in any direction after the start time to mark a start.

I understand the crossing direction is used here because pilots will ask at the briefing, out of habit. But for scoring, it's completely irrelevant. AirScore should not ask for it.

After more than a year, I don't see where the regulations indicate that the SSS can be crossed in any direction, in fact, in all the competitions I go to there is an SSS direction (enter or exit), simply for safety.
