Please realize this was an anomaly, and as you have probably picked up on by
now, somewhat outside the parameters set by the SCCA rules. I would not look
upon this as typical of SCCA, but quite the opposite. The "typical" SCCA
event would not present such a situation.
(But it is all to easy to say shoulda-woulda-coulda ... how many of us have
designed something only to find out it was far different than what we intended
or expected?>

it's 15 feet actually, but ... That limit is Rule 2.2B. Section 2.2 is NOT
one of the mandatory sections of the rulebook (See Section 1.1). Thus, at a
local event, you could use narrower gates if you wanted to.
My Mirror Khana, using a course designed in 1974, has 12.5-foot gates. they
have always been that way. Once I asked competitors if we should widen them,
They said "No," because it would change the character of the event.
15 feet is required only at Tours, Divisionals, Nationals.
