Tuesday, a different kind of task

Petr Benes down early. Alex Ploner out in the lead with Tom Weissenberger at 3:30 PM.
Alex out in front landed just before goal after a valiant effort. Tom Weissenberger wisely stayed back in the hills and worked slowly to get high enough to make it in way ahead of everyone else.
Carl Wallbank, and the two Czech's, Petr and Dan, came close to goal together, but Dan found a little something over the field that Carl and Petr landed in, and came in second.
Christian Ciech, after apparently flying a paraglider all day, just hung and hung in nothing getting further and further away from goal as Grant Crossingham, who was earlier with but below Christian, worked back in the hills even further downwind.
Then came four pilots who had been much further behind, Jonny, Corinna, Malcolm and Dave Mathews. Christian down 6.5 km out. Grant down. Dave down. Malcolm down. Jonny down a few feet from goal.
Corinna climbing near goal. Yoko climbing three kilometers further back. Corinna third into goal. Yoko lands near Jonny.
Petr Polách writes:
One of the worst conditions I have ever flown in. For the first time I am gonna fill in the task report with negative attitude. And I am not gonna fly in similar condition again.
At several places I had severe problems to keep the wing barely level. I couldn't even control my speed properly. It's only luck nobody got hurt. Peeople climbing severely, then falling five meters down in the gaggles. I only used full VG few times.
Can anyone explain how Thomas Weissenberger did the task so quickly?
So final thought: I like to push myself, but this was even beyond my personal limits.

Two pilots are missing from this scoring, Grant Crossingham and Alexander Barvinskiy, both of whom were near goal. Since the scoring is being done mostly through the use of Flymaster trackers, there appears to be some issue with GPS coordinates. These lack of published results also affect the other standings.

Nine rigid wing pilots in goal. Austria barely leads Germany in the rigid wing team standings, Wolfgang Kothgasser is the overall leader after winning the seventh task, and four out of seven tasks.

Another case at the European Championships of GPS disagreement?
We should expect this
Another case
European Championships 2018|GPS|Roland Wöhrle
The Flymaster tracker track for Roland Wöhrle task 6, 2nd waypoint, shows him short of the cylinder:
But apparently as he was scored making the turnpoint. Perhaps his flight instrument showed him getting the turnpoint. Perhaps this track log was within the error band.

Italians in first place 500 points ahead of the Czech team with the Brits still in third.
There is a report of a tumble today. Initially thought to be Marco Laurenzi on the Italian team. Results show him getting only 18.33 km. I could not get the Flymaster Live Tracking web site to playback Marco's flight.

Dear Organizers,
I would have a question concerning the live tracking: Yesterday, I watched the very exciting finish of Class1 where the leading pack all just made it around the last turnpoint and then into goal - all except Tom Weissenberger who just went about 150m shy of the turnpoint and while short cutting that turnpoint heading into goal.
We here in Austria were all confused and thought there might be an explanation, but when seeing the provisional scoring we found he was scored 3.5km short of goal - bummer, isn't it?
This morning I am checking again and - what a surprise - Tom is now scored as if he had made goal correctly. So, I am checking the playback thinking now there would be a possibly updated tracklog (and even made a screenshot as you can see below) - but even more surprise - Tom is still going wide around the turnpoint. So, now I am really curious, is there other evidence that could overrule the presented tracklog? I mean other evidence than arguing and threatening scorers.
This is the situation I am talking about. Aside of Tom's tracklog I also highlighted Balazs' and Carl's to show how much effort they have put into rounding the tp correctly. I am really curious on your answer because, Austrian or not Austrian, if you let things slide like this why bother with 3D tracklogs, live tracking or setting tasks at all.
Ivan Lukano writes:
He was scored from the tracklog from his backup instrument. Have in mind that backup instrument is actually the main instrument that pilots use for navigation and get info that they entered the cylinder. IGC file is available for everyone that has any doubts in scoring. As organizers we are completely impartial towards any competitor or country.
I think what he means by the backup instrument is your actual flight computer, not something stuck in your harness or wing. The main scoring is done off the Flymaster trackers which makes scoring vastly easier. Strange that they should have got it wrong.

Wolfgang Kothgasser from Austria has three 1000 points days for the ATOS class and is in first with Tim Grabowski in second. The Austrian team is first overall (with top two scores counting each day).

Looks like a better day:
Ploner in the lead.
Quite a race with Ploner out in the lead for almost the entire race but near the end he kept going and getting down to less than 800' 9 kilometers out he had to take a slow climb while 5 kilometers ahead of everyone else and came in 5 minutes behind them.
