The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 7 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 2 of 3 — 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).14:00:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 78.365% of a perfect day, so 783.7 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?78.44%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?99.904%
Points on offer for the day783.7 pts

1000 × 1.00 × 0.7844 × 0.99904 ≈ 783.7 — the validity factors are shown rounded to 5 decimal places; the points on offer come from their full precision.

Time points use the 2⁄3 speed-fraction exponent (the older GAP2016/2018 curve, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time1:39:49

Timed from your 14:00:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 14:01:44.

Fastest time in class (among pilots who made goal)1:29:05
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time241.3 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^2⁄3) = 0.7215; × 334.4 available = 241.3 (times in hours)
