Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Polish desktop scoring system for balloon competitions, combining flight-task setup, track analysis, penalties, maps, PDF reports, and a planned pilot logger.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The project organizes balloon competitions around a single competition database rather than separate spreadsheets, files, and manual transcription. Its described workflow covers task configuration, imported pilot tracks, interpolation, barometric-altitude checks, penalties, map layers, and generated PDFs. The sample interface shows 15 pilots across three tasks, including a 50 m MMA and 900 ft setting. A small screenless GNSS logger is being developed alongside the Windows desktop application, while online results remain a stated future direction.
