The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Crossed the start 1:13 before the first start gate opened at 14:30:00 — 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 100% of a perfect day, so 1000 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?100%
Points on offer for the day1000 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 1.00 = 1000

Distance points

63.9 pts
Flew -1.0 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 class67.5 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance13.6 pts

0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 67.5 km) × 366.6 = 13.6

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed50.3 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

Penalty

-36.8 pts
Jump the gun (FAI S7F §12.2): started 1:13 before the first start gate. The complete flight is scored, with 1 penalty point per 2 seconds early; the total never drops below the minimum-distance score.−36.8 pts

73.6 s early ÷ 2 s per point = 36.8 points

Total

63.9 pts
Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties63.9 pts

63.9 + 0.0 − 36.8 jump-the-gun would come to 27.1, but the jump-the-gun penalty never drops a pilot below the minimum-distance score (FAI S7F §12.2) — so the total is 63.9.
