Default How Do You Evaluate an OLC Flight ?

The folks at WeGlide.org appear to be open to scoring formula and data presentation suggestions. I just asked them to somehow identify declared fights. These are often more difficult that an ad-hoc choice once in the air.

- Good idea. If there is a declaration within the flight log file (as
is now required (in the USA) rather than on paper), it is possible for
the software to check whether the declared task was completed. SeeYou
does that. A fine point is that the rules for crossing the start and
finish lines and rounding the turnpoints may differ between countries.

Remaining questions include:
* how many more points to award for completion of a declared task
* or perhaps just display the fact that it was a declared task - seems
like what you asked for
* what to do with partially-completed tasks, do they deserve any extra
points (or recognition) relative to flights with no declaration
* what to do with additional distance flown beyond the declared task
