The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Start time taken: gate 2 of 6 — the last start gate at or before the crossing. The speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).12:30:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 89.58% of a perfect day, so 895.8 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?89.58%

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

Best distance in class58.4 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance133.8 pts

0.5 × (47.07 km ÷ 58.44 km) × 332.2 = 133.8

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed159.2 pts

The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §11.1.1).

0 pts
Time points are only awarded to pilots who reach the end of the speed section.

Leading points

31 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
