The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).13:00:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 50.02% of a perfect day, so 500.2 of 1000 points were available.

Launch validity — did enough registered pilots launch?100%
Distance validity — did the field fly far enough relative to the nominal distance?50.02%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

Distance points

450.2 pts
Scored distance22.2 km

Measured along the optimized task line, up to the furthest point on course.

Best distance in class22.2 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance225.1 pts

0.5 × (22.2 km ÷ 22.2 km) × 450.2 = 225.1

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed225.1 pts

The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §11.1.1).

Time points

0 pts
Time points are only awarded to pilots who reach the end of the speed section.

Leading points

0 pts
Leading points reward flying out front during the speed section — the pilot with the best leading coefficient takes all available leading points, others fall off with the gap.0 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

0 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.0 pts
