The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 9 times. The scored start is the latest crossing from which the flight still makes its best run along the course — re-starting supersedes an earlier start, while simply flying back through the cylinder later in the task changes nothing.
The 13:52:32 crossing is the scored start. By the 14:16:21 crossing the flight had already reached TP3 (tho084), so treating that as a re-start would mean flying the course again from there — a shorter, later run that scores less.
Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §9.2.4.1).13:45:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 100% of a perfect day, so 1000 of 1000 points were available.

How this works

Launch validity — the day counts for less if much of the field never got into the air.100%

14 pilots flew out of 14 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 14 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.100%

Measured against a 40.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 28.8 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 50.6 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 14 pilots flew; you flew 38.0 km, further than 7 of them. The day averaged 28.8 km past the 5.0 km minimum, against a 40.0 km nominal distance.
Time validity — the day counts for less if the fastest pilot got round much quicker than the task was meant to take.100%

Nobody completed the speed section, so the spec compares distance instead: the best distance of 50.6 km against the 40.0 km nominal distance.

Points on offer for the day1000 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 1.00 = 1000

Split between the components: 0 of 14 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.00

distance 900 · time 100

The share each component takes of the day

distance 90.0% · time 10.0%

Leading weight follows the FAI S7F 2026 §11 formula: 26% of the non-distance weight (the task's Leading Time Ratio) goes to leading when someone makes goal, and all of it when nobody does.

Distance points

676.1 of 900 pts

7th furthest of 14

How this works

Task distance67.4 km

The optimized task line — the shortest legal way round the turnpoints.

Scored distance38.0 km

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

Best distance in class50.6 km
Distance points scale linearly with your share of the best distance676.1 pts

(38.032 km ÷ 50.626 km) × 900 available = 676.1

Distance points are a straight line from nothing to the best distance flown — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. You flew 38.0 km of the class best 50.6 km, worth 676.1 of 900.

Time points

0 of 100 pts

How this works

Time points are only awarded to pilots who complete the task.
