The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 5 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).13:30:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 90.38% of a perfect day, so 903.8 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?90.38%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

Scored distance19.5 km

Measured along the optimized task line, up to the furthest point on course.

Time points

211.8 pts
Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time1:53:19

Timed from your 13:30:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 14:08:39.

Fastest time in class1:33:39
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time211.8 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.6721; × 315.1 available = 211.8 (times in hours)

Leading points

41 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.41 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

40.8 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.40.8 pts

Total

747.2 pts

Track data cleaning

16 of 6281 GPS fixes (0.3%) 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
