Not exactly. The OLC speed league score is around 3TP (not the normal
5TP). Finish altitude can not be lower than start altitude which means
that your score may get severly penalized if OLC can not find a 2.5
hours period with same finish altitude or higher. Not sure why thy did
not use the standard 1000m allowance.

I believe the Tuesday rule exists so that the "Bundesliga" contest can
be scored. This is a competition amongst the German soaring clubs that
is hard fought and very competiteve! I think the fastest 3 hours of a
flight on Saturday and Sunday are scored for a club from their
airfield. Lots of beer rests on the weekly outcome!


Not only Germany, it runs in several countries and also
internationally:

The fastest 2.5hours of the flight around the normal OLC turnpoints
with finish and start at same altitude.

Some people might consider "normal" is 3 TP and 5 TP is considered a
kind of option.

And to be clear it is not "the normal OLC turnpoints" like scored on
the OLC-Classic for that flight, its a separate set of turnpoints
chosen during that 2.5 speed-task window. OLC just does all that
automatically.



No separate set of TP. The TP of the normal scoring are used, limited
to 3.

Anyway, here are the rules:

The issue has been discussed several time on german forums, many
people are not happy with several rules, such as the TP-issue and the
1000m thing and the halving of the index and the (now dropped)
restriction to your home airfield to score in the league and the
Tuesday night deadline and and and.
Outcome is almost always the same: the "inventor" is extremely
stubborn and if he thinks a rule is the way it should be he will never
change it no matter what arguments you come up with.

Bottom line: go flying as far and as fast as you can whenever you can
and submit the flights. AND HAVE FUN.

Marcel
