8.4 1000-Points Scoring System

8.4.1 Racing Tasks

a. Day Parameters:

Pm = the least of either: 1000 or: (5 x Do) - 250 or: (400 x To) – 200

F = the least of 1 and (1.25 x n1 / N)

Pvm = 2/3 (n2/N) x Pm

Pdm = Pm – Pvm

The maximum points for the Day will be less than 1000 points if the Task Distance is less than 250 km or the winner’s time is less than 3 hours, with the consequence that scoring gaps are limited to 4 points per Kilometre and 11 points per minute.

If there are no finishers, then Pm = the least of 1000 or: (5 x Do) - 250

b. Competitor's Score:

(i) For any finisher:

Pv = Pvm x (Vh - 2/3 Vo) / (1/3 Vo)

Pd = Pdm

Except: If Vh < 2/3 Vo then Pv = 0

(ii) For any non-finisher:

Pv = 0

Pd = Pdm x (Dc / Do)

(iii) S = F x (Pv + Pd)

If almost everyone finishes, a pilot with 2/3 of the best speed will get about 1/3 of the points. All non-finishers will get fewer points, proportional to their distance.

8.4.2 Speed Tasks

a. Day Parameters:

Pm = the least of either: 1000 or: (5 x Do) - 250 or: (400 x To) – 200

F = the least of 1 and (1.25 x n1 / N)

Pvm = 2/3 (n2/N) x Pm

Pdm = Pm – Pvm

The maximum points for the Day will be less than 1000 points if the Task Distance is less than 250 km or the Task Time is less than 3 hours, with the consequence that scoring gaps are limited to 4 points per Kilometre and 11 points per minute.

If there are no finishers, then Pm = the least of 1000 or: (5 x Do) - 250.

b. Competitor's Score:

(i) For any finisher:

Pv = Pvm x (Vh - 2/3 Vo) / (1/3 Vo)

Pd = Pdm

Except: If Vh < 2/3 Vo then Pv = 0

If Dc < 2/3 Do then Pd = Pdm x Dc/ (2/3 Do)

(ii) For any non-finisher:

Pv = 0

Pd = Pdm x (Dc / Do)

(iii) S = F x (Pv + Pd)

If almost everyone finishes, a pilot with 2/3 of the best speed will get about 1/3 of the points. All non-finishers will get fewer points, proportional to their distance.

8.4.3 Distance Tasks

a. Day Parameters:

Pm = the least of either: 1000 or: (5 x Do) - 250

F = the least of 1 and (1.25 x n1 / N)

The maximum points for the Day will be less than 1000 points if the Task Distance is less than 250 km, with the consequence to limit the scoring gaps to 4 pts/km.

b. Competitor's Score:

S = F x Pm x Dc / Do

All pilots receive points proportional to their distance
