The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Crossed the start 3:12 before the first start gate opened at 13:30:00 — an early start ("jumping the gun", FAI S7F §13.3). The speed-section clock runs from the first gate.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 100% of a perfect day, so 1000 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%

48 pilots flew out of 48 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 47 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.100%

Measured against a 35.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 33.2 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 70.1 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 48 pilots flew; you flew 7.9 km, further than 10 of them. The day averaged 33.2 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 1:56:14 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 day1000 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 1.00 = 1000

Split between the components: 15 of 48 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.31

distance 529.1 · time 329.7 · leading 82.4 · arrival 58.9

The share each component takes of the day

distance 52.9% · time 33.0% · leading 8.2% · arrival 5.9%

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

Task distance70.1 km

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

Scored distance7.9 km

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

Best distance in class70.1 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance29.7 pts

0.5 × (7.86 km ÷ 70.08 km) × 529.1 = 29.7

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed91 pts

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

The curve is the distance-points formula, half of it built from where the field landed out (FAI S7F §12.1.1) — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. Its steepest stretches are the ones fewest pilots got past, so flying through one is worth more than the same distance somewhere easy. You flew 7.9 km of the class best 70.1 km, worth 120.7 of 529.1.

Time points

0 of 329.7 pts

How this works

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

Leading points

0 of 82.4 pts

37th best of 46 measured leading coefficients

How this works

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.0 pts
Your leading coefficient — the area under your distance-over-time curve, so lower means further ahead for longer8.233

Best in class 1.936.

Leading points fall off with the gap to the best coefficient0 pts

leading factor = max(0, 1 − ((LC − LCbest)² ÷ LCbest)^1⁄3) = 0.000; × 82.4 available = 0

Your flight ended before the end of the speed section, so the graph carries on at your best distance until maxTime18:14:37

maxTime is when the last pilot landed out. That was after the last pilot reached the end of the speed section, so the clock kept running.

Measured with the squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §12.3.1, the hang-gliding variant).
The curve is the leading-points formula — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. Your coefficient of 8.233 against the class best of 1.936 puts you at 0 of 82.4.

Arrival points

0 of 58.9 pts

How this works

Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.0 pts
15 pilots reached the end of the speed section on this task; the points scale with where in that group you crossed it (FAI S7F §13.5).

Penalty

-96.2 pts
Jump the gun (FAI S7F §13.3): started 3:12 before the first start gate. The complete flight is scored, with 1 penalty point per 2 seconds early; the total never drops below the minimum-distance score.−96.2 pts

192.3 s early ÷ 2 s per point = 96.2 points

Total

97.2 of 1000 pts

How this works

Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties97.2 pts

120.7 + 0.0 − 96.2 jump-the-gun would come to 24.5, but the jump-the-gun penalty never drops a pilot below the minimum-distance score (FAI S7F §13.3) — so the total is 97.2.
