The tournament council modified the current jump formulas.
The formula used a 10m offset for all men’s divisions and a 7m offset for all women’s divisions. Since the distances get less in the older divisions, this gave a disproportionate number of points per meter to the older divisions.
Now each division will have its own offsets as follows:
Division | Offset |
---|---|
Men 35+ | subtract 20 |
Men 45+ | subtract 15 |
Men 55+ | subtract 10 |
Men 65+ | subtract 0 |
Women 35+ | subtract 7 |
Women 45+ | subtract 0 |
Women 55+ | add 5 |
Women 65+ | add 10 |
These formulas will be in effect for the World 35+ Championships in November.
