Linear Performance Levels (LPL)

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.
A minimum and maximum result are determined, within which the straight line relationship will be established. 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)
A maximum result that points will be allocated for (best result achievable such as Centre Record): 15.0 (seconds)
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, results in between 15.0 and 30.0 seconds will receive between 0 and 100 points. As this is a straight line relationship, a result halfway between 15.0 and 30.0 (ie. 22.5 seconds) will receive 50 points.
