The flight
What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.
Crossed the start cylinder boundary 5 times. The scored start is the latest crossing from which the flight still makes its best run along the course — re-starting supersedes an earlier start, while simply flying back through the cylinder later in the task changes nothing.
Start time taken: gate 3 of 6 — the last start gate at or before the crossing. The speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).14:30:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.
Day quality — points on offer
Task validity 95% of a perfect day, so 950 of 1000 points were available.
Launch validity — did enough registered pilots launch?100%
Distance validity — did the field fly far enough relative to the nominal distance?100%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?95%

Your speed section time2:06:48
Timed from your 14:30:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 14:36:40.
Fastest time in class1:12:01
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time59.2 pts
speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.1408; × 420.4 available = 59.2 (times in hours)
Leading points
4.1 ptsLeading points reward flying out front during the speed section — the pilot with the best leading coefficient takes all available leading points, others fall off with the gap.4.1 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).
Arrival points
20.1 ptsArrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.20.1 pts
