Scores computed

Early start beyond the limit — scored minimum distance — 66.7 points

The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Crossed the start 30:00 before the first start gate opened at 14:00:00 — an early start ("jumping the gun", FAI S7F §12.2). The speed-section clock runs from the first gate.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 55.81% of a perfect day, so 558.1 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?55.81%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%
Points on offer for the day558.1 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.5581 × 1.00 = 558.1

Distance points

66.7 pts
Early start of 30:00 — more than the 300 s jump-the-gun limit (FAI S7F §12.2), so the flight is 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 class67.6 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance17.2 pts

0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 67.6 km) × 464.5 = 17.2

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed49.5 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

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
