Points
Syntax
Points [base_value]
Parameters
- base_value: Optional. The number of points awarded to the first-place finisher. Default is 1000.
Description
Calculates points for each finisher relative to the first-place time, awarding a base value (default 1000) to the winner and proportionally fewer points to others based on their time.
Remarks
This command calculates points using the formula: Points = base_value × (winner_time / runner_time). It must follow an Event command. This method can be used within filtered lists (e.g., age groups, females only) to calculate points relative to the winner within that group. Use Points Table for place-based point allocation. The number of decimal places can be controlled with Points Precision.
Examples
