The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 5 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: the start gate — the speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).13:30:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 90.38% of a perfect day, so 903.8 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?90.38%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?100%

Time points

0 pts
Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time3:27:20

Timed from your 13:30:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 16:24:24.

Fastest time in class1:33:39
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time0 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.000; × 315.1 available = 0 (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

16.3 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.16.3 pts
