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.

Made goal in 33:37 — 273.3 points

The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

How this works

Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 27.33% of a perfect day, so 273.3 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%

3 pilots flew out of 3 present. Nominal launch is 96%, so launch validity is full once 3 pilots are in the air.

Distance validity — the day counts for less if the field as a whole did not get far.49.88%

Measured against a 25.0 km nominal distance, a 30% nominal goal and a 5.0 km minimum distance. The field flew 6.5 km past the minimum on average, with a best of 14.4 km.

Time validity — the day counts for less if the fastest pilot got round much quicker than the task was meant to take.54.8%

The fastest pilot took 33:37 against a nominal task time of 1:30:00 — 37.4% of nominal.

1000 × 1.00 × 0.4988 × 0.548 = 273.3

Split between the components: 2 of 3 pilots made goal — a goal ratio of 0.67

distance 103.2 · time 170.2

The share each component takes of the day

distance 37.7% · time 62.3%

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

103.2 of 103.2 pts

Full distance — one of 2 pilots in goal

How this works

Task distance14.4 km

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

Scored distance14.4 km

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

Best distance in class14.4 km

Made goal — full available distance points.103.2 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 14.4 km of the class best 14.4 km, worth 103.2 of 103.2.

How this works

Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties273.3 pts

103.2 + 170.2 ≈ 273.3 — the points above are shown rounded to 0.1; the total is rounded from their exact sum.

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.
