This has been off for a few years.
The database page lists these as the records used to calculate ranking Braemar Stone 47' - 0.00" ( 47.000000) Open Stone 63' - 3.75" ( 63.312500) Heavy Weight 50' - 0.50" ( 50.004167) Light Weight 96' - 6.00" ( 96.500000) Heavy Hammer 132' - 2.75" (132.219667) Light Hammer 157' - 7.25" (157.604167) Heavy Sheaf 36' - 2.00" ( 36.166667) Weight for Height 19' - 1.00" ( 19.08333) If we take the current database #1 thrower, Daniel Tennison as an example: Braemar Points: Best throw 45'-4.50" or 45.375 has earned him 978 pts in the database However, 45.375/47 * 1000 = 965.4255319 rounded down to 965 pts 978 pts implies the record distance of 46' 4.75" 45.375/(46 +4.75/12)=977.99 ==> the 978 points ---- Light Hammer Points Best light hammer distance 124' 3" = 124+3/12 = 124.25 Points 124.25/(157.604167)*1000 = 788.365 points but database ranking gives 824 points 124.25/(150+9.5/12)*1000 = 823.95 points --------------------- Backing out what appears to be the records used in the ranking calculations: Braemar uses 46' 4.75" rather than 47' Open uses 63' 0.75" rather than 63' - 3.75" HWFD uses 49'10" rather than 50' - 0.50" LWFD uses 93' 8" rather than 96' - 6.00" H Hammer uses 124' 8 1/4" rather than 132' - 2.75" L Hammer uses 150' 9.5" rather than 157' - 7.25" Sheaf seems correct WOB uses 20' 1" or just 20' rather than 19' - 1.00" Am I missing something?

The weights for distance may be off because the records were set during this current season.
