[us] - Unknown rounds were scaled to ~500 max points each. (Sum of Unknowns weighted as 20% of the total score.)
[pt] - "Points" (aka, regional points) are explained below.
Freestyle
Final scores in Freestyle ranged from a low of 314.1 to a high of 2,000.0 (a range of 1,685.9)
[pt] - Points are computed as follows:
The first-place pilot (for each class) gets 1,000 points. All other pilots get a prorated number of points, based on how they compare.
Note: Flights without a scale pilot and panel installed are assessed a penalty.
In this report, no pilots were assessed the missing pilot/panel penalty.
