What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.
Start time taken: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).13:45:00
Day quality — points on offer
Task validity 57.25% of a perfect day, so 572.5 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?57.25%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

Linear half — half the available points scale with your share of the best distance72.6 pts
0.5 × (18.27 km ÷ 64.81 km) × 515.2 = 72.6
