Not exactly. The OLC speed league score is around 3TP (not the normal
5TP). Finish altitude can not be lower than start altitude which means
that your score may get severly penalized if OLC can not find a 2.5
hours period with same finish altitude or higher. Not sure why thy did
not use the standard 1000m allowance.

I believe the Tuesday rule exists so that the "Bundesliga" contest can

is hard fought and very competiteve! I think the fastest 3 hours of a
flight on Saturday and Sunday are scored for a club from their
airfield. Lots of beer rests on the weekly outcome!

Not only Germany, it runs in several countries and also
internationally:

The fastest 2.5hours of the flight around the normal OLC turnpoints
with finish and start at same altitude.

Some people might consider "normal" is 3 TP and 5 TP is considered a
kind of option.

And to be clear it is not "the normal OLC turnpoints" like scored on
the OLC-Classic for that flight, its a separate set of turnpoints
chosen during that 2.5 speed-task window. OLC just does all that
automatically.

The finish_height=start_height not finish_height=start_height-1000m
might be because unlikes a declared FAI speed task different people
flying an OLC league task may fly different actual distances and
therefore a fixed allowable height loss has different relative impact
on scores. However I just wish it was the same 1,000m as an FAI speed
task for consistency,
