14.1 RESULT
14.2 SCORE
14.3 PUBLICATION OF SCORES
S1 5.9.4 part
14.4 RANKING ORDER
14.5 POINTS FORMULA
14.6 PRECISION
14.7 TOTAL TIED SCORES
A competitor's result is the achieved outcome in a task. Results will be expressed in meters, square kilometers, minutes or degrees with an accuracy of two decimal places. Distance penalties may be applied according to the rules.
A competitor's score is the number of points achieved in a task when applying the appropriate formulas. Task or competition penalties may be applied according to the rules.
14.3 PUBLICATION OF SCORES S 15.9.4 Part
14.3.1 THE SCORES OF EACH TASK SHALL BE PUBLISHED WITH THE MINIMUM OF
DELAY on the official notice board.
14.3.2 Task scores sheets shall include :
- a EVENT NAME, TASK DATE and time, task sequence number, SEQUENCE NUMBER,
TASK NAME AND RULES reference.
- b for each competitor his : rank, competition number and name, result,
score and if applicable, penalties followed by the kind of penalty, a
rule reference and a brief description.
- c THE FIXED DATA USED IN THE SCORING FORMULAS (P,A,M,RM,W and SM) and
the checksum.
- d Publication date and time, version number and signature of the director.
- e IF MORE THAN ONE SCORE SHEET VERSION IS PUBLISHED FOR A PARTICULAR
TASK, THE CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS ISSUE SHALL BE MARKED AND THE DIFFERENT
VERSIONS SHALL BE NUMBERED IN SEQUENCE.
14.3.3 Task score sheets will have the following status : PROVISIONAL
Provisonal scores are published for information only and have no validity
for timing purposes. OFFICIAL Time periods for complaints/protests start
from the publication of official scores. FINAL Official scores become
final after all relevant time periods have expired.
14.3.4 Total score sheets shall include :
- a Event name
- b for each competitor his : rank, competition number and name, total
score and task scores
- c task checksums
14.3.5 Total scores are for information only and will not carry a signature.
14.4.1 Competitors will be ranked in order of performance according
to the rules for each task, after adjustment for any time or distance
penalties. Competitors will be ranked in the following groups for each
task :
- Group A : Competitors whose results have been measured, or assessed
under the rule for lost markers.
- Group B : Competitors flying the task but not achieving a result. They
will be scored equally using Formula Three, or share equally the remaining
points available using Formula Two, whichever is the higher.
- Group C : Competitors not making a valid launch or disqualified in the
event, all scoring zero points.
14.4.2 After calculating the points score with the applicable formula,
any penalty points will be subtracted to obtain the competitor's final
task score. The competitor's final task scores will be ranked again, before
being published.
14.5.1 Each competitor will then be awarded a number of points according
to his performance. The formula to be used will depend on the competitor's
place in the ranking order for the task.
14.5.2 The best result will be awarded 1000 points before points penalties.
14.5.3 The superior half of the results will receive a score between 1000
and approximately 500 points, in proportion to their performance.
14.5.4 The inferior half of the results will receive a score between approximately
500 points and 0 point, according to their relative position in the ranking
order.
14.5.5
-> FORMULA ONE(superior half of performances).
1000 - (1000 - SM) x (R-W)/ (RM - W)
-> FORMULA TWO (inferior half of performances).
1000 x (P + 1 - L)/ P
-> FORMULA THREE (pilots in group B)
1000 x ( P + 1 - A ) /P- 200
- P = number of pilots entered in the competition.
- M = P/2 rounded to the next higher number (median rank).
- R = pilot's result (meters, etc) if in the superior half.
- RM = result achieved by the median ranking pilot.
- L = pilot's ranking position if in the inferior portion.
- W = the winning result in the task.
- A = number of pilots in group A
- SM = rounded points score of the median ranking pilot, calculated under
FORMULA TWO.
14.5.6 In the event that fewer than half the pilots achieve a result in
the task, the following changes in definition will apply :
- RM = lowest ranking result in group A.
- SM = rounded score of the lowest ranking pilot in group A, calculated
under FORMULA 2.
- M = lowest ranking pilot in group A.
14.5.7 In the event that no competitor achieves a result in Group A, all
competitors in Group B will be scored according Formula Two where
- L = M.
14.5.8 Points scores will be rounded to the nearest whole number.
14.6.1 Results shall be established with the highest precision at hand.
14.6.2 The following standards will be used :
Result method - Precision -
Example (m)
tape/surveying - centimeters - 1,23
pacing - meters
- 236,00
map coordinate - decameters - 1250,00
Any combination of result methods will revert to the lowest precision
method used. (Note : pacing should not be used within 100 m).
14.6.3 Results are considered tied when the outcome is the same after
applying above mentioned principles. Competitors whose results are tied
will share equally between them the points which they would have received
had they not been so tied.
When two competitors have equal total scores in the Event, the competitor with the smaller difference between his best and worst scores will be ranked higher.
