The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

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.
The 16:24:24 crossing is the scored start. By the 16:36:43 crossing the flight had already reached TP3 (TOWONG), so treating that as a re-start would mean flying the course again from there — a shorter, later run that scores less.
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 27.9% of a perfect day, so 279.3 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%

20 pilots flew out of 20 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 20 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.60.2%

Measured against a 20.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 5.9 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 19.5 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 20 pilots flew; you flew 19.5 km, further than 13 of them. The day averaged 5.9 km past the 5.0 km minimum, against a 20.0 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.46.4%

The fastest pilot took 28:58 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — 32.2% of nominal.

Points on offer for the day279.3 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.602 × 0.464 = 279.3

Split between the components: 7 of 20 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.35

distance 140.2 · time 139.1

The share each component takes of the day

distance 50.2% · time 49.8%

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

Distance points

140.2 of 140.2 pts

Full distance — one of 7 pilots in goal

How this works

Task distance19.5 km

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

Scored distance19.5 km

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

Best distance in class19.5 km
Made goal — full available distance points.140.2 pts
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 19.5 km of the class best 19.5 km, worth 140.2 of 140.2.

Time points

119.5 of 139.1 pts

2nd fastest of 7 through the speed section

How this works

Your speed section time32:56
Fastest time in class28:58

Set by Dustan Hansen — you were 3:57 behind.

Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time119.5 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.859; × 139.1 available = 119.5 (times in hours)

The curve is the time-points formula — every dot is a pilot, sitting exactly on it. You were 3:57 behind the fastest time, which cost 19.6 of the 139.1 time points on offer.

Total

259.7 of 279.3 pts

How this works

Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties259.7 pts

round(140.2 + 119.5, 1 dp) = 259.7
