When is age-grading applied for Masters?

Question

We organize different combined-events, sometimes we do want to apply age-grading (age-correction factors) and sometimes don't.

How do we set this up?

Answer 1

Athletics.app supports the official WMA correction factors for Masters. And the correction factor introduced since 2016 by the Dutch Athletics Federation.

Whether correction factors are used depends on the categories & scoring formulas you choose.

For these scoring formulas no correction factors can be applied:

• KNAU
• IAAF
• IPC
• INAS

For these scoring formulas no correction factors can be applied:

• Points per rank

---

For these Master categories, well a correction factor will be applied:

• M/V 35+
• M/V 40+
• M/V 45+
• M/V 50+
• M/V 55+
• M/V 60+
• M/V 65+
• etc.. All master categories with an age specification.

For these categories, no correction factors are applied:

• Women's Masters
• Men's Masters

 

If you want to use correction factors, then allow the master categories that have an age specification. If you don't want to use correction factors, choose the general master categories without an age specification.

Comments

It is great that the option of age grading has been included in Athletics.app. However, in the masters competitions, the points are displayed, but the ranking is still based on time. Can this be adjusted?

Do you have a link to a specific overview where you would like to change this? If all is well, you can change the sorting yourself by clicking on "Team points" in the header of the table.
