The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 3 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: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).13:30:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 55.6% of a perfect day, so 556 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?55.6%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

Time points

129.5 pts
Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time2:56:37

Timed from your 13:30:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 15:35:13.

Fastest time in class2:56:37
Fastest through the speed section — full available time points.129.5 pts

Leading points

32.4 pts
Leading 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.32.4 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

23.1 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.23.1 pts
