This shows the rules set up by your club for scoring. The class names are determined by your club, as are the points for distance and speed, whether handicaps are used, flights to standard and Class type.

• Flights to standard sets the initial status for pilot created tasks. A club created task has a status of 0, making it a standard task. A pilot created task starts with a status of, for example -3. Each time it is flown the staus is increased until it becomes a standard task with a status of 0. The league table is calculated from a combination of tasks with status of 0 and less than 0, as set by your club.
• Class type defines whether the class is used on the league calulation - 0, or is run seperately - 1. Here the LS4 class is set with speed points only, as the club LS4 is used for short local tasks.

This is the pilot profile, note the options to opt in/out of flights appearing in the league or in the all flights pages. This enables pilots to keep their flights private.
