This task has no start (SSS) turnpoint — the first turnpoint is treated as the start.
Day quality — points on offer
Task validity 62% of a perfect day, so 620.3 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?74.2%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?83.6%

Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance40.4 pts
0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 19.7 km) × 318.6 = 40.4
Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed159.3 pts
The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §11.1.1).
Time points
0 ptsTime points are only awarded to pilots who reach the end of the speed section.
Leading points
16.5 ptsLeading 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.16.5 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).
Arrival points
0 ptsArrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.0 pts
