An investigation is made into the subject of scoring tables for track and field with emphasis on the application of computers to calculate and output the tables. The resulting scoring tables represent an attempt to describe the effective quality of performance for track and field events. This paper is published in three parts. The first portion reviewed the historical development of scoring tables. This part concerns the theoretical foundation and development of a mathematical model. A set of underlying principles and construction guidelines are established as a basis for all scoring tables. In order to satisfy the goals, a model which includes an exponential term is developed. The concept of a zero offset is introduced as a boundary value for the low-level performances. The final part concerns an evaluation of the model and an analysis of the point scores for different events.
本文对田径计分表进行了研究，重点在于应用计算机来计算和输出这些表格。所得出的计分表旨在描述田径项目成绩的有效质量。本文分为三个部分发表。第一部分回顾了计分表的历史发展。本部分涉及数学模型的理论基础和发展。建立了一套基本原则和构建指南，作为所有计分表的基础。为了实现这些目标，开发了一个包含指数项的模型。引入了零偏移的概念作为低水平成绩的边界值。最后一部分涉及模型评估以及对不同项目得分的分析。
