Rick,
I just made level 2 last week and I too was confused on the LSF
requirements and wrote Dennis Adamisin here is what he had for me. I
gather six is the bare minimum but you can continue until you reach your
score or win a contest. I don't have the sheet with me so can't
remember all the rules. Hope this helps, but he is fast to reply I
would suggest writing Dennis as well.
Glenn,
Part d is the final answer to the equation; your (participant's)
competition points
(Your score/Winning Score) x 100 x (# of entrants - your standing + 1) =
Participant's (your) competition points.
Your example: (4400/5500) x 100 x (6+1) = 560 LSF points (Participant's
Competition Points)
Scoring matrix does not matter for HLG versus TD. Ultimately your score
is
a percentage of the winners score, whether the totals are in the 500's
or
50000's has no impact. The biggest factor is the number of contestants
and
of course, your placing. For example, if you fly a big contest like the
NATs with 100 entries, first place earns 10,000 points regardless of his
actual score. Assume 51st place had 50% of winners score, normally that
would not sound like much of a flight score, but that would earn 2500
points - almost all of a Level 2 requirement. That's why I made sure to
record my NATs scores because even though I flew & placed poorly, I got
a
lot of points just because of the entry totals.
Just make sure you get a minimum of six contests with at least 5 entries
each for Level 2.
Does this help?
