Proposal from
José Luis Esteban, Spanish Delegate.
Proposal title
Scoring for cross-country tasks
Existing text
Annex 3
2.3 SCORING
2.3.4 CROSS COUNTRY TASKS
The maximum score may be up to 1000 points per task and is calculated as follows:
P = Q/Qmax x 1000
where: Q = pilot score, Qmax = best score for the task, P = Total score

The maximum score may be up to 1000 points per task. and is calculated as follows:

Option B
Annex 3
2.3 SCORING
2.3.4 CROSS COUNTRY TASKS
The maximum score may be up to 1000 will be between 500 and 1500 points per task. and is calculated as follows:
P = Q/Qmax x 1000
where: Q = pilot score, Qmax = best score for the task, P = Total score
Reason
Option A tries to solve the discussions arising with the scoring of tasks like Speed Triangle Out&Return (2.B1), Speed Triangle & Turnpoint Hunt (2.B2) or similar ones which are designed not to be normalised to 1000 points.
Option B goes a bit further. Limiting the maximum value to 1000 points is unnecessary, as long as:
- There is no reason why a simple short task can't have a value of 500 points, or a complex long one can't have a value of 1500 points.
- Task proportions are based on task value, not on the number of tasks.
- The task design and its scoring system must be approved by CIMA for their inclusion in a specific Task Catalogue, so any weird proposal by a Competition Director can be corrected by CIMA.
