Methodology
TFScore makes recorded track and field performances easier to compare across athletes, events, and teams.
What goes into a rating
TFScore is a 1–99 performance rating based on recorded competition results and World Athletics scoring tables. It considers the strength of an athlete’s best marks, repeated performances, recency, and competition context.
The profile’s headline rating reflects the athlete’s strongest rated event. A higher score means stronger recorded performances; a score of 90 does not mean the 90th percentile.
Understanding the numbers
- PTS
- A shared performance scale that makes different events comparable. Career charts show each season’s highest available points, while TFScore summarizes a broader performance history.
- Season best and personal best
- The best marks available for the selected season and recorded career. Wind readings appear alongside marks where relevant; assisted marks can appear when a legal best is unavailable.
- Fan Rating
- A separate measure of community picks that never affects performance-based TFScore.
How to read a team rating
Team TFScore reflects leading athletes and roster depth. Event-group averages help show where a team is strongest, with groups displayed when at least three athletes are rated. Team ratings describe roster strength rather than predicted championship points.
Comparisons and simulations
Coaching tools compare recorded performances in context, including event, venue, and wind conditions. Simulations explore possible outcomes under selected assumptions; they do not guarantee development, eligibility, transfer availability, or meet results. Private notes never influence public ratings.
The limits of the record
Current rosters and season bests use the 2026 dataset. Results update after imports, and career history may be incomplete. Missing results stay missing rather than being estimated.
TFScore is independent of World Athletics and the NCAA. If a record needs attention, request a correction.
