The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 15 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.
…and 3 more crossings
Start time taken: gate 6 of 7 — 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).15:45:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 100% of a perfect day, so 1000 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?100%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

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

Time points

236.8 pts
Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time1:43:20

Timed from your 15:45:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 15:46:42.

Fastest time in class1:16:17
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time236.8 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.534; × 443.4 available = 236.8 (times in hours)

Leading points

0 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.0 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

22.9 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.22.9 pts

Total

626.4 pts
Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties626.4 pts

366.6 + 236.8 + 22.9 ≈ 626.4 — the points above are shown rounded to 0.1; the total is rounded from their exact sum.
