The flight
What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.
Crossed the start cylinder boundary 5 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.
Start time taken: gate 2 of 2 — 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).15:00:00
Day quality — points on offer
Task validity 98.14% of a perfect day, so 981.4 of 1000 points were available.
Launch validity — did enough registered pilots launch?99.93%
Distance validity — did the field fly far enough relative to the nominal distance?98.21%
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 class80.3 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance320.9 pts
0.5 × (61.34 km ÷ 80.3 km) × 840.3 = 320.9
Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed393.1 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
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.9 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
