That's the way the international rules are (if enough people make minimum distance to have a day). One reason to fly real IGC rules for Club Class - there are no rule-based surprises.


Yet, in the Standard Class, with more completions, the day is devalued. Also interesting that to be 50 KPH slower than the guy ahead of you only cost you 70 points on this day with 50% landouts. I would only consider that to be a "no rule-based surprise" if you fully understand that the rules are not even close to anything linear to comparing your daily performance to the best performance that day.

But, this is digressing into which set of scoring formulas you prefer.

Go Boyd! Go JP! Go Daniel! Fly safe, and fly fast!
