Rules for the OLC Sprint task

Task distance

The scoring distance is calculated on OLC-Classic-Rules. Sprint start point and sprint end point are positioned such that the sum of distances between sprint start point and sprint end point becomes as large as possible.

End of sprint may be chosen a maximum of 150 minutes after start of sprint. Sprint start point and sprint end point must each be recorded as GPS fixes on the flight track.

Up to 3 turnpoints can be used as per OLC-Classic-scoring.

Altitude difference

The sprint start point cannot be higher than the sprint end point.

Scoring

The average speed (points) of each individual flight is the sum of the distances from sprint start, around up to three turn points, to the sprint end divided DAeC index increased by 100, multiplied by 200 and divided by 2.5h [Points = km / 2.5 * 200 / (Index+100)].

• Cloud flying is not permitted
• Direction of circling (the same way as the first glider in the thermal)
• Airspace will be checked
