Tracks value

Free flight (Free distance up to three turnpoints.) 1 km = 1,00 p
Flat triangle (Triangle which does not conform to FAI triangle specification. 1 km = 1,30 p
FAI triangle (Conforming to the FAI definition - the shortest leg of the triangle must be at least 28% of the total triangle). 1 km = 1,75 p

A flight may be scored as a triangle, when the distance between start point and finish point is less than 10% of the entire distance as given by the 3 turnpoints. The scoring distance will then be given by the turnpoint distance, minus the gap (finish to start) distance.
