The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).12:45:00

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%

Scored distance8.7 km

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

Best distance in class10.9 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance204.4 pts

0.5 × (8.7 km ÷ 10.93 km) × 513.6 = 204.4

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed256.8 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

65.8 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.65.8 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
