Rule 5.1.B defines it as "a pair of cones placed opposite each other on the track or a single cone with a directional cone to indicate a specific way around that cone." Course designers (myself included) make this difficult to determine frequently. The attached diagrams show some of the problems of scoring a gate penalty. My current thoughts on some of the features below are that a feature with a single inside cone and multiple outside cones really should only be scored as 1 gate - no matter how you screw it up driving through it. With two inside cones, 2 gates maximum.
So based upon the diagrams below, A-G, K and L would be scored as one gate. H, I, J, and M would be scored as two gates. I can also see other interpretations. What are yours?
