Understanding your Scores
Performance at KewLAC is scored according to set Achievement Performance Levels. These are set by KewLAC to reflect long term performance levels for different sexes and ages.
To calculate the Achievement Level (described as a colour) and points awarded:
​
-
Locate the correct age & sex,
-
Match the performance level - e.g. if an U.9 boy runs the 100m in 17.2 seconds, this is a bronze level, given that a maximum of 17.3s is the bronze standard and 16.5s the silver. Any time between 17.3s &16.6s is bronze.
-
Using the Achievement Points table below, match the points allocated to that level –e.g. bronze equals 10 achievement points.
Every event the child runs/jumps/throws is scored & all are added up at the end of season to determine the athlete’s overall achievement. Kew LAC uses a computer program to record each athlete’s achievement for the season based on results provided by parent recorders on individual result sheets.
