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 1 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).13:00:00

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.

Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance22.4 pts

0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 50.1 km) × 449.2 = 22.4

Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed111.4 pts

The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §11.1.1).
