I don't know what the algorithms and rules should be. Points assessed based on getting to the top and allowing someone else to lead out repeatedly? Or percentage of time in a run where you're in trail? Accumulate a certain number of points and start to incur time penalties? Number of times you enter a thermal behind the same guy within X seconds at the same altitude? 9B, you must have some ideas.


Totally possible - it's dirt simple to create (and I have proposed a version) a very mild penalty system for climbing in thermals you didn't get to within 30 seconds of the first entrant. Would be interesting to try, pretty easy to calculate from IGC files and, IMHO, totally unnecessary. But that's just me.
