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).12:30:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

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%
Points on offer for the day1000 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 1.00 = 1000

Scored distance28.6 km

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

Best distance in class28.6 km
Made goal — full available distance points.479.6 pts

Time points

262.7 pts
Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time4:20:58

Timed from your 12:30:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 15:53:17.

Fastest time in class3:55:18
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time262.7 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.721; × 364.3 available = 262.7 (times in hours)

Leading points

21 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.21 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

26.4 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.26.4 pts
