2 points per 10 feet?

How about simple the math, you know that thing about common
denominators.
How about stating it as 1 point for 5 feet, nit picky yes but clearer.

Would the cylinder still work the same way if you pierce the edge at
400agl at 120 knots at 1 mile then 15-60 seconds later pull up to
500agl will the scoring program award you which ever is the more
advantageous score? [earlier vs higher?]

Overall the concept is nice because it simplifies the finish and lets
people focus on landing/flying.

If you get into the cylinder either from the side(preferred), or by
pulling up
into the bottom, you get a speed finish.
