For points to be calculated you need the following steps completed. FYI if you prefer to watch and listen here is a webinar we did with a centre - video on points 101
1. Athletes with results and status other than DNS (did not start)
2. The values for your given points set up which is found at Setup - Points
3. Make sure your chosen points options are set up with values in them e.g. 1st = 10 points etc
Available Points Scoring Methods
- Attendance: Points per meet and/or per event a result was recorded for more...
- Event Points Calc: Similar to above, using a straight line method, however rather than entering a maximum result boundary, an increment is defined as well as the points that you wish to apply per increment more...
- Place Points: Based on an overall age gender event result group (for track and field) e.g. U6 Girls Shot Put, 1st place get X, 2nd gets Y etc, down to your minimum points allocation more...
- PB (Personal Best): Points for equal to and/or better than PBs. Click here for a specific forum topic
- Banding: Build your own bands of performance levels, each with a minimum and maximum result. For each level assign a points value and then apply this to all the given events and age groups you require more...
- LPL Points Calc: This is the Linear Points Level calculation. By creating an upper and lower result for each Event / Age / Gender, and also adding what upper and lower level points you would like to apply - results have points applied based on this linear/straight line relationship more...
- CR Compare: Using your existing Home and Current records, the system will calculate X points if the results = that record and reduce the points incrementally as the result moves away from that record more...
- CR Break: If results equal or betters a record then they get X or Y points more...
- Multipoint: We have used this IAAF points structure but have replaced the seniors IAAF points values with the NSW Multi Points values. more...
- Alberta: Using the default Alberta youth tables results for a known event will get X points regardless of the age or gender more...
4. Make sure your Calculate screen (Event - Calculate) has the relevant dates with the relevant points methods ticked
5. The last step is to ask the system to run the calculations. Ui can do this week by week manually via the Action - Calculate All (disregard if you have already calculated, it will do a full recalculate) or Incremental Calc (will only calculate results that have not had a calculate against them yet)
6. You may want to do an automated full season recalculate (recommended at the end of the season before you do trophies etc). So click on the Recalculate Season - Points
7. Then put in your email and press submit
8. You will be able to see on your homepage the points column populating with values as the points calculation progress from week to week

Could someone please explain the new points setting of IAAF?
Hi Jody, thanks for your question. I'll put some instructions up for the new points method this weekend. We introduced it in the last week to mirror the WALA State Multi scoring process. I've attached a PDF and on page 24/25 you can see the formula methodology as well as the a,b,c variables that are used by IAAF for open age group. It can also be found on this website http://www.iaaf.org/about-iaaf/documents/technical.
If you'd like these variables to be loaded to your ResultsHQ profile let us know. The only shortfall that I would mention is that there we don't have guidelines for events outside of what is specified in the document (except for 80mH and 90mH).
Hope this helps,
Regards, Matt
