What is the hardest part of designing a course for a small arena?

Small arenas force you to make trade-offs — between flow, difficulty, safety and use of space.

What do you find most difficult when designing for a limited arena size?

Is it:

  • creating enough variation,

  • keeping good flow,

  • fitting combinations and related distances,

  • avoiding awkward turns,

  • or something else?
