Can someone explain how to score the points. How is it done what is the equation? formula? Where does the 23 in this example come from? How is each event scored to come up with an overall score? ect.

Take an open games w/ 15 competitors - after the throws for braemar are complete assign a number value ( lowest to highest ) according to place. So first in the event would be 1 & last would be 15.

Repeat for each event. Then add each event placing together for each athlete.

lowest total points wins the overall.

If an athlete were to win every event thier total points would only be 8 or 9.

Joel is on the money.  I could never understand why ANY ad would do it different than that.

You're dead on!  Place = points (1st = 1 point, 2nd = 2, etc. and the lowest score wins) is almost foolproof.  The first time that l saw it used was the last time that l ever used the old inverted (1st = some arbitrary higher number, i.e. 1st = 5, 2nd = 4, etc. and the highest score wins) scoring system!!
