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.
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 42.565% of a perfect day, so 425.7 of 1000 points were available.

Launch validity — did enough registered pilots launch?99.986%
Distance validity — did the field fly far enough relative to the nominal distance?75.25%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?56.573%
Points on offer for the day425.7 pts

1000 × 0.99986 × 0.7525 × 0.56573 = 425.7

Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time84.5 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^2⁄3) = 0.328; × 215.9 available ≈ 84.5 — the figures are shown rounded; the points come from their full precision (times in hours)

Total

294.2 pts
Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties294.2 pts

209.8 + 84.5 ≈ 294.2 — the points above are shown rounded to 0.1; the total is rounded from their exact sum.

Track data cleaning

6 of 4413 GPS fixes (0.1%) carried an implausible altitude and were repaired before analysis — flagged by vertical-speed limits (no barometric channel to cross-check). Positions and times are never altered. How data cleaning works
