Answer 1

You can change the scoring formula via the drop-down menu on the right --> Categories and events --> Edit scoring formulas.

Check with the competition director/referee which scoring formula should be used. I suspect it is the IAAF scoring formula, but it could also be the Dutch Athletics Federation's scoring formula.

Perhaps I did not phrase my question clearly. I know how to set the scoring formulas in Athletics.app, but I cannot find the option to choose the scoring formulas for a throwing pentathlon, i.e. a combined-event consisting solely of throwing events. The throwing pentathlon is an official combined-event that has its own scoring formulas. How it works is described in the document of the Dutch Athletics Federation "Formulas and constants, Dutch Athletics Federation March 2016". The correct scoring system for a throwing pentathlon is within Athletics.6667px">Formulas and constants, Dutch Athletics Federation March 2016".  Unfortunately, the correct scoring formulas for a heptathlon are not selectable in Athletics.app. If I check IAAF or Dutch Athletics Federation in Athletics.app, all five throwing events of the combined-events score points as if they were individual throwing events, which means that the total number of points obviously does not match the official count. So my question should actually have been: would you like to add the scoring formula for a throwing combined-events to Athletics.app?

"The all-around performances of masters are - after correction for the age group - evaluated according to the IAAF scoring tables."
As far as I can see, the regular IAAF formulas should be applied in combination with the regular age gradings, as is currently also possible in Athletics.app.

The Dutch national pentathlon has been using this for several years.
