Age Grade Percent

Syntax​

Age Grade Percent   filename

Parameters​

  • filename: The name of the age-grade file for the specific race distance (e.g., AGEGRADE.5K).

Description​

Calculates and displays each runner's performance as a percentage relative to the age-graded standard for their age, gender, and distance.

Remarks​

This calculates a percentage (performance factor), where higher is better. This allows direct comparison between males and females. When using this for scoring, you must use Sort Down to rank results correctly. It is often displayed alongside the raw time and the Age Graded time for informational purposes. This command must follow an Event command specifying the raw time. The runner's gender must be correctly specified in a field named SEX or GENDER.
