The flight
What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.
Crossed the start cylinder boundary 9 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 4 of 5 — 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).14:45:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.
Day quality — points on offer
Task validity 94.94% of a perfect day, so 949.4 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?94.94%

Your speed section time1:27:25
Timed from your 14:45:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 14:49:44.
Fastest time in class (among pilots who made goal)1:11:53
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time306 pts
speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^2⁄3) = 0.6176; × 495.5 available = 306 (times in hours)
