How do I use what-if scenarios in the Meet Results Analyzer?

Enter your actual competition results, then modify any attempt to see how your DOTS, Wilks, and IPF GL scores would change. For example, explore what your total would have been if you had made that third deadlift, or how a different second-attempt strategy would have affected your final score. This helps inform smarter planning for future meets.

What can I learn by comparing planned vs actual attempts?

The planned vs actual comparison reveals systematic patterns in your meet performance. If you consistently leave weight on the bar on thirds, your third-attempt selection may be too aggressive. If openers feel heavier than expected, your peaking or weight cut may be affecting performance more than anticipated. Over multiple meets these patterns become clear and actionable.

How do I enter my competition results?

Enter your competition date, federation, and weight class, then input each attempt result (made or missed) for squat, bench, and deadlift. The analyzer automatically calculates your competition total, all three scoring coefficients, and age-adjusted scores if you provide your age.

Which scoring formula is most relevant for my federation?

Use DOTS if you compete in IPF or IPF-affiliated federations such as USAPL or CPU. Use IPF GL for international IPF events. Use Wilks-2 (2020 revision) for general comparison or federations that still use the Wilks system. The analyzer shows all three simultaneously so you can track whichever matters most for your specific federation.
