Scores computed · FAI S7F 2026

This competition was flown before the FAI S7F 2026 scoring rules took effect (1 May 2026). GlideComp scores every task under the 2026 rules, so the scores shown here are indicative and can differ from the officially published results.

The flight

A manual flight report — no tracklog.

Manual flight — recorded by an official for a pilot with no tracklog (FAI S7F §9.2.2). The distance is computed from the last turnpoint reached and the landing point, exactly as a real track at the same place would score.

Last turnpoint reached: Start — ELLIOT

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 69.33% of a perfect day, so 693.3 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%

35 pilots flew out of 35 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 34 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.69.33%

Measured against a 35.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 15.6 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 54.8 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 35 pilots flew; you flew 5.0 km, further than 0 of them. The day averaged 15.6 km past the 5.0 km minimum, against a 35.0 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%

The fastest pilot took 1:39:20 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — the task took as long as it was meant to, so no time devaluation applies.

Points on offer for the day693.3 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.6933 × 1.00 = 693.3

Split between the components: 4 of 35 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.11

distance 506.9 · time 186.3

The share each component takes of the day

distance 73.1% · time 26.9%

Leading weight follows the FAI S7F 2026 §11 formula: 18% of the non-distance weight (the task's Leading Time Ratio) goes to leading.

How this works

Flew 0.0 km, less than the 5.0 km minimum — scored as the minimum distance.

Task distance54.8 km

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

Scored distance5.0 km

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

Best distance in class54.8 km

Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance23.1 pts

0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 54.8 km) × 506.9 = 23.1

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed48.1 pts

The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §12.1.1).

Time points

0 of 186.3 pts

How this works

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

Spread across distance-points and time-points — distance-points the largest, at 435.7.

Start cylinder (SSS): The circle around the start turnpoint. The race clock begins when you cross it in the required direction, or at the start gate you took.
Speed section: The timed part of the task: from the start to the end of the speed section. Time points are earned here, and only here.
End of speed section (ESS): Where the clock stops — usually a cylinder shortly before goal, so pilots are not racing all the way to the ground.
Optimized task line: The shortest legal way around the turnpoints, clipping each cylinder rather than flying to its centre. Every distance on this page is measured along it.
Made good: How far along that line you got — not how far you flew. Wandering off course adds kilometres to your track but none to your distance made good.
Minimum distance: A floor: a pilot who flies less than this is scored as if they flew it, so a short flight is never worth less than nothing.
Nominal distance / time / goal / launch: What the organiser expected of a good day — a typical task length, duration, share of pilots in goal, and share of pilots launching. They are the yardsticks the day is measured against, not targets anyone must hit.
Validity: How much of a full 1000-point day this task was worth. A day where few launched, nobody got far, or the winner was round very quickly counts for less in the competition total.
Goal ratio: The share of flying pilots who made goal. It decides how the day's points are split between distance and the other components.
Leading coefficient: A measure of how much of the race you spent out in front, as an area under your distance-over-time curve. Lower is better; the absolute number means nothing on its own, only the comparison does.
Distance difficulty: Hang gliding only: half the distance points are weighted by where the field landed out, so getting past a stretch that stopped many pilots is worth more than easy kilometres.
Jump the gun: Starting before the first start gate opened. Paraglider pilots are scored only to the start cylinder; hang glider pilots take a penalty that grows with how early they were.
