It is explained on the OLC website. Speed doesn't matter. Also, the
5th and 6th legs don't count as much as the first 4 legs, so there is
not a consistent relationship between distance and points.

I was just wondering how the OLC scores are calculated. I was looking
at a case today where a higher performance ship Ventus 2 versus my
Ventus B flew a shorter distance and slower yet gets a slightly higher
score.

Here is the raw data from August 20th on the USA section:

304.96 Hunter Robert US 348.66 88.73 Hemet (US) Soarfari Ventus 2
(N666RH) 2017-0013

303.35 Taylor Tim US 349.85 102.3 Morgan Ut (US) Cache Valley Soaring
Association Ventus 1 (TT) 2037-2402


Can any one explain how the scores are calculated?

Thanks,

Tim
