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: the start gate — 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 55.81% of a perfect day, so 558.1 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?55.81%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

Time points

47.1 pts
Time points use the 2⁄3 speed-fraction exponent (the older GAP2016/2018 curve, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time2:40:47

Timed from your 14:00:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 14:00:46.

Fastest time in class (among pilots who made goal)2:20:43
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time47.1 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^2⁄3) = 0.637; × 65.6 available ≈ 47.1 — the figures are shown rounded; the points come from their full precision (times in hours)

Leading points

13.3 pts
Leading points reward flying out front during the speed section — the pilot with the best leading coefficient takes all available leading points, others fall off with the gap.13.3 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

3.9 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.3.9 pts
