The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Start time taken: gate 8 of 9 — 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).16:15:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 96.96% of a perfect day, so 969.6 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?96.96%
Points on offer for the day969.6 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 1.00 × 0.9696 = 969.6

Time points use the 2⁄3 speed-fraction exponent (the older GAP2016/2018 curve, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time1:21:01

Timed from your 16:15:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 16:16:17.

Fastest time in class (among pilots who made goal)1:16:39
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time459.4 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^2⁄3) = 0.8392; × 547.4 available = 459.4 (times in hours)
