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 58.74% of a perfect day, so 587.4 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?58.74%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance50.4 pts
0.5 × (5.194 km ÷ 27.249 km) × 528.6 = 50.4
Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed102.2 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
38.9 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.38.9 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).
Arrival points
