The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Start time taken: gate 4 of 5 — the last start gate at or before the crossing. The speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).14:45:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 88.25% of a perfect day, so 882.5 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?100%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?88.25%

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

Best distance in class52.0 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance187.6 pts

0.5 × (51.8 km ÷ 52.0 km) × 376.7 = 187.6

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed188.4 pts

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

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

Leading points

7.1 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.7.1 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
