Tasks

Cross country tasks, as in previous years, will be scored using the BGA ladder system, with the following changes:

1. All tasks set or suggested in briefing will be treated as declared for the purposes of scoring
2. If anyone scores more than 1,000 points for a given day, all scores on that day will be scaled such that the maximum scored by anyone is 1,000 points.

We decided to implement this scaling rule for the following reason: Currently, a day in which 5,000 points are scored by someone will completely overshadow a day in which the maximum score is only 500, and so the overall scores will only reflect who did well on the good days. By scaling the scores, they will better reflect consistent flying across all the days.

For reference, the BGA Ladder rules can be found here.
