What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

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%

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

Best distance in class80.6 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance60.9 pts

0.5 × (14.7 km ÷ 80.6 km) × 667.4 = 60.9

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed121 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

-49.6 pts
Jump the gun (FAI S7F §12.2): started 1:39 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.−49.6 pts

99.29 s early ÷ 2 s per point = 49.6 points
