Christ, even the fly-ey bit is ridiculously difficult. 60 points nominally but then more or fewer depending on whether you jump beyond-or don't get to, a given point. Why not just say "you flew 50 metres, you get 50 points. And you flew 100 metres, that's 100 points"?
Never really understand sports that make their scoring/rules so impenetrable to the casual observer. It's almost as if they want to put potential fans off. Shurely not?
