I am looking for the IAAF formual for assigning points for Triple Jump
performances.
Ihave the info for the Multi's (see below) and need the necessary
information for the TJ as well.
Thanks,
Tom
The formula follows the following format
Points=A*(B-P)^C for Running Events
Points=A*(P-B)^C for Field Events
P is your performance in the units described below
A, B, and C are constants
Event A B C P
100 25.4347 18.0 1.81 sec
LJ 0.14354 220 1.40 cm
SP 51.39 1.5 1.05 m
HJ 0.8465 75 1.42 cm
400 1.53775 82 1.81 sec
110H 5.74352 28.5 1.92 sec
DT 12.91 4.0 1.1 m
PV 0.2797 100.0 1.35 cm
JT 10.14 7.0 1.08 m
1500 0.03768 480 1.85 sec
For running events, use the formula:
=int(A*(B-M)^C)
where A, B and C come from the table below and M is the time (in seconds)
* means multiply; ^ indicates that C is an exponent; 'int' means greatest
integer
EVENT A B C
100m hurdles (w) 9.23075 26.7 1.835
200 meters (w) 4.99087 42.5 1.81
800 meters (w) 0.11193 254 1.88
800meter example using Microsoft Excel:
Points =INT(0.11193*POWER((254-E21),1.88))
100 meters (m) 25.4348 18 1.81
400 meters (m) 1.53775 82 1.81
110m hurdles (m) 5.74354 28.5 1.92
1500 meters (m) 0.03768 480 1.85
For field events, use the formula:
Points = Int [ A * (M - B)^C ]
EVENT A B C
High Jump (w) 916.325 0.75 1.348
Shot Put (w) 56.021 1.50 1.05
Long Jump (w) 124.7435 2.10 1.41
Javelin (w) 15.9803 3.8 1.04
Long Jump (m) 90.5674 2.2 1.4
Shot Put (m) 51.39 1.5 1.05
High Jump (m) 585.65 0.75 1.42
Discus (m) 12.91 4 1.1
Pole Vault (m) 140.182 1 1.35
Javelin (m) 10.14 7 1.08
