Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).13:30:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 55.6% of a perfect day, so 556 of 1000 points were available.

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

Best distance in class20.9 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance72.6 pts

0.5 × (8.193 km ÷ 20.948 km) × 371.1 = 72.6

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed185.5 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

21.9 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.21.9 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
