3 Stopovers - Not Required?
I thought that OW Explorer used to require a minimum of three stopovers. It appears that this is no longer the case. Is this true?

Hmmm. Now that you mention it I seem to remember something like that, but its clearly not in the current rule sheet. The only relevant rules are a minimum of 3 segments and (except for origin HKG/Japan/SWP in F/J) and minimum 10 days before the last international (origin Europe: intercontinental) segment.

I cannot recall a minimum stopover rule; Hoever, I first perused a rules sheet in late '04 (probably via christep's now defunct site). So I guess that predates late 2004.
I guess the minimum days rule takes care of that type of thing thesedays.
