- Points = result × 100 / (A − B × e^(−C × bodyweight)), with the coefficients the IPF publishes for each sex, equipment and event (2020).
- Like the IPF, the coefficient is rounded to six decimals before being multiplied: the IPF’s two official examples come out exactly.
- Your place among lifters: the best points of every IPF athlete since 2011, from OpenIPF (public domain).
