Record of performance

At the end of each field event athletes results are added to the Track Event Recording Sheet and added to ResultsHQ during the coming week. Track events results are automatically recorded into ResultsHQ.

Athletes results can be check their results in ResultsHQ and their Achievement Book is available at the Achievement Book tab. The Achievement Book allows the athlete to monitor their performances.

Improvement points

Athletes will receive an improvement point each time they improve on their previous best performance in an event. Improvement points for all athletes are based on the best performance in the current season in all events. Improvement Points are calculated automatically in the ResultsHQ software and are available online.

Only performance at the normal QLAC competition will count for improvement points.

For every 5 improvement points a patch is awarded:

The Chief Recorder and another committee member are able to review and amend an athlete’s recorded performances where obvious discrepancies are apparent. If an athlete feels that an error has occurred in the recording of a particular event they should bring this to the attention of the Chief Recorder; however, experience has shown that the state of the track can make a large difference in the times an athlete can run a particular distance and hence large variations are not uncommon throughout the season.

Example of improvement points calculation

Improvement points are awarded for Week 4 because the time for the 100m is an improvement on the previous best time of 17.2s (Week 1) and for discus the distance is an improvement on the previous best distance of 6.4m (Week 1). No improvement point is given for 100m in Week 3 as this equaled the previous best, but did not improve on it.
