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).14:00:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 4.6% of a perfect day, so 45.7 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?6.6%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?69.2%
Points on offer for the day45.7 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.066 × 0.692 = 45.7

Distance points

28.6 pts
Flew 2.7 km, less than the 5.0 km minimum — scored as the minimum distance.
Scored distance5.0 km

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

Best distance in class9.4 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance11 pts

0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 9.4 km) × 41.2 = 11

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed17.6 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

1.1 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.1.1 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

Total

29.6 pts
Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties29.6 pts

28.6 + 0.0 + 1.1 ≈ 29.6 — the points above are shown rounded to 0.1; the total is rounded from their exact sum.
