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
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%

Measured along the optimized task line, up to the furthest point on course.
Best distance in class28.6 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance148.9 pts
0.5 × (17.78 km ÷ 28.63 km) × 479.6 = 148.9
Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed239.8 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
91.1 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.91.1 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).
Arrival points
0 ptsArrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.0 pts
