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.

Landed out at 64.9 km — 714 points

Top of the class with everything that was winnable: nobody reached the end of the speed section, so the task carried no time or arrival points (FAI S7F §11) and only 714 of the day's 793.4 could be won — all of it yours.

The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §9.2.4.1).13:45:00

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 79.34% of a perfect day, so 793.4 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%

47 pilots flew out of 47 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 46 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.79.34%

Measured against a 35.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 19.0 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 64.9 km.

How far the field got — the spread distance validity is computed from, one dot per pilot. 47 pilots flew; you flew 64.9 km, further than 46 of them. The day averaged 19.0 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%

Nobody completed the speed section, so the spec compares distance instead: the best distance of 64.9 km against the 35.0 km nominal distance.

Points on offer for the day793.4 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.7934 × 1.00 = 793.4

Nobody reached the end of the speed section, so this task offered no time or arrival points at all (FAI S7F §11).714 pts

Only distance and leading points could be won: 714 + 0 = 714 of the 793.4 the day was worth. The rest is not shared out to the other components — the specification leaves it unawarded.

Split between the components: 0 of 47 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.00

The share each component takes of the day

distance 90.0% · time 0.0%

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 distance75.8 km

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

Scored distance64.9 km

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

Best distance in class64.9 km

Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance357 pts

0.5 × (64.9 km ÷ 64.9 km) × 714 = 357

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed357 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 64.9 km of the class best 64.9 km, worth 714 of 714.

Time points

0 pts

How this works

Nobody in this class reached the end of the speed section, so the task offered no time points to anyone (FAI S7F §11). Distance and leading points were all that could be won.

Left on the day−79.4 pts

79.3 of the 793.4 was never on offer to anyone: nobody reached the end of the speed section, so the task carried no time or arrival points (FAI S7F §11). You took all 714 that could be won.

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.
