The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 3 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: gate 3 of 6 — 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).14:20:00
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%

Scored distance88.4 km

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

Time points

193.7 pts
Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time2:22:41

Timed from your 14:20:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 14:22:45.

Fastest time in class1:45:13
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time193.7 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.4655; × 416.04 available = 193.7 (times in hours)

Leading points

81.4 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.81.4 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

54.5 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.54.5 pts

Total

735.2 pts
Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties735.2 pts

405.7 + 193.7 + 81.4 + 54.5 ≈ 735.2 — the points above are shown rounded to 0.1; the total is rounded from their exact sum.
