The flight
What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.
Crossed the start cylinder boundary 17 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 5 more crossings
Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).02:30:00

Best distance in class8.6 km
Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance0.3 pts
0.5 × (5.0 km ÷ 8.6 km) × 1 = 0.3
Difficulty half — rewards flying past stretches where many pilots landed0.4 pts
The difficulty curve is built from where the whole field landed out (FAI S7F §11.1.1).
Time points
0 ptsTime points are only awarded to pilots who reach the end of the speed section.
