DHTask, short for Distance Handicapped Tasking, is a method for conducting a racing task where task length is adjusted for each competitor based on their glider handicap. This is acheived by moving the centre of some or all turnpoints in such a way that gliders of lesser performance fly a task distance in proportion to their handicap.

Contests are scored and tasks are set using SoaringSpot. DHTask applies a script to the task set in SoaringSpot and provides each competitor with access to a CUP file containing their task.

The task is flown & the competitor uploads (via a dhtask pilot portal) or emails their IGC trace and it is automatically scored via SoaringSpot as usual.

Task finishers are scored purely on elapsed time, as the handicapping has already taken place during the flight.
