Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to determine your race performance:

Where:

• Standard Time = Average time for the selected race distance
• Your Time = Time you entered for your race

A positive performance score indicates you beat the standard time, while a negative score means you need to improve.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a 100-foot race performance:

1. Standard time for 100 feet: 12.5 seconds
2. Your time: 11.8 seconds
3. Calculation: (12.5 - 11.8) / 12.5 × 100 = 5.6%
4. Result: You beat the standard time by 5.6%

This means you were faster than the average player by 5.6%.

Interpreting Results

Your performance score can be interpreted as follows:

• Above 0%: You're faster than the average player
• 0%: You match the average performance
• Below 0%: You need to improve to match average performance

For professional players, aim for scores above 10%. For recreational players, maintaining a score above 0% is a good goal.
