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).12:45:00

Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 42.88% of a perfect day, so 428.8 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?42.88%

Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

Time points

75 pts

Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).

Your speed section time4:20:50

Timed from your 12:45:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 15:11:18.

Fastest time in class4:20:50

Fastest through the speed section — full available time points.75 pts

Leading points

18.8 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.18.8 pts

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

Arrival points

13.4 pts

Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.13.4 pts
