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: gate 5 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).15:30:00
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.

Time points use the 2⁄3 speed-fraction exponent (the older GAP2016/2018 curve, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time1:25:44

Timed from your 15:30:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 15:44:53.

Fastest time in class (among pilots who made goal)1:16:39
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time404.1 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^2⁄3) = 0.7382; × 547.4 available = 404.1 (times in hours)
