6.8 SCORING AND PENALTIES
The winner of the task obtains 1 point, the second 2 points, the third 3 points, etc.
Main notes:
6.8.1 Cell out -- The pilot who misses the finish gate is scored with the maximum of points.
6.8.2 Cell in -- The pilot who misses the entry gate gets the maximum of points \+2.
6.8.3 Error -- The pilot who makes an error during the circuit gets the maximum of points \+5.
6.8.4 The pilot touches a pylon with the leading edge of the lines gets maximum of points \+5.
6.8.5 The pilot or the machine touches the ground or a pylon (with tip, feet, frame) gets maximum of points \+5.
6.8.6 Any situation that is considered “limit” and entails an imbalance in the flight (collapse, departure in twist, departure in spin or stall) gets maximum of points + 5.
6.8.7 DNF -- The pilot who does not fly sees attributing the maximum of points + 6.
Collapse: any deformation of the profile will be considered a collapse.
Judgements are made by the CD, or one of several official marshals.
[]
6.9.4 If the minimum of 4 tasks has been flown during selection rounds, one worst result is removed from the sum.

h3. Reason
The proposal does two things.
# It presents the scoring in a simplified and systematised way, dividing it into score points and penalty points. Some of the worst score points can be further deducted from the pilot's selection round result.
# Introduces penalties for splashing into the water.
Paramotor Safety Group members agree that the most dynamic collapses are a result of aggressive flying. Pilots tend to search for the limit's in performance, thus being close to collapses and water touch. A new penalty to the task score encourages pilots to seek perfection in flight rather than bravery.
