Where to find it

On worldathletics.org, open World Rankings and pick your event.
Find your name in the list and open your score breakdown.
Select the table of results (date down to the last score) and copy.
Paste it here and tap Read my results.

Each row needs the date, category, place, mark and result score. Rows that don't fit are skipped and listed so you can add them by hand.

Step 2

Your counting results

Ranking score is the average of your best performance scores (result + placing), rounded down. Edit any row. Result scores for new marks come from a curve fitted to your own official scores.

Step 3

What it takes, by the tens

The mark you need at each new meet, if those meets replace your weakest results. Choose the place you expect and how many new meets you'll do.

Rank ladder

Ranking score at each world rank in your event. These change every week, so refresh them before planning.

Copy your event's World Athletics ranking list (rank, name, date of birth, country, score) and paste it here. The ladder fills in every 10 places, and the same list loads into Competitors.

How the math works

Performance score = result score + placing score. Ranking score = average of your best results, rounded down.
Placing points only count in finals. Only one national championship a year earns them.
New marks are scored with a curve fitted to your own official result scores. It's most accurate near marks you've done. Check key marks on the official scoring tables.
Placing points use the standard table for track and field events, places 1–8.

Where your next points are

Upcoming sanctioned meets, ranked by what they're worth to you. Heavier categories pay more placing points, so a solid finish there can do what a big PB does at a small meet.

Add meets

Paste rows from the World Athletics calendar. Each row needs a date, the meet name and its category.

Annual meets

A meet that isn't on this year's calendar yet can still be planned around. Use Repeat next year on last year's edition to copy it forward with its usual category. It's marked "expected" until the real date is published.

Only World Athletics sanctioned meets count toward rankings. Check the category on the calendar before you commit travel money.
