Event Points

This points scoring method will cause a linear / straight line calculation to be applied to your results. Each Event / Age group / Gender needs to be set up individually. 
Unlike the 'Linear' points method, a minimum result is applied but a maximum is not. Instead an result 'increment' is determined which will result in a set number of points. Minimum and maximum points are also determined. 

Example:
100m event, U10 Boys

• The minimum result that points will be allocated for (the worst result which will receive points): 30.0 (seconds)
• An Incremental result is determined: 0.5 (seconds)
• Points for each increment are determined: 5 (points)
• Minimum Points: The points that will be applied to the Minimum results, for instance, 0 (zero) (this to be applied to 30.0 seconds and slower)
• Maximum Points: The points that will be applied to the Maximum result, for instance, 100 (this to be applied to the best result of 15.0 seconds)

In the above example:

• A result of 30 seconds will receive 0 points
• A result of 29.5 seconds will receive 5 points
• Since a maximum has been set in this case of 100 points, the maximum points will be reached after 20 increments (100 points / 5 points)
• Since 20 equates to 10 seconds (20 x 0.5 seconds), the maximum points will be reached at 20 seconds (30 seconds - 10 seconds).

To set up the points

1. From within your ResultsHQ profile, select Settings from the top right of screen

2. Select Event from under the Points heading

3. The below form will be displayed and will be blank if you have not set up any levels.

4. Press the Add New button

 

5. A form will display such as below for you to begin setting up your first Event configuration.

- Enter the Gender, Age, and Event that you would like to create a points allocation for. 

- Then enter the Minimum Performance/Result, and the Incremental Amount (the increase/decrease in a result that will caused a Points Increment)

- Enter the Minimum and Maximum Points, as well as the Increment Point

 

6. Press Save for the changes to take effect

 

 

7. A row will be created in the Event Points table with the details that you entered

 

8. Repeat the process for each of your Age/Gender/Event combinations
