Team Competition with Robi Points. Teams are men and women in mixed teams.

First a few observations, 
  • There is no formal statistical analysis showing that Robi points are fair for men and women.  Robi is also unstable, as it depends on the current world records and requires frequent updates.
  • For a ranking system that has been specifically designed to be fair to both genders, and is also stable over time, you should use GAMX (see PubMed Journal publication for why it is fair, and why it is stable.)
  • GAMX is being examined by IWF (going through their committee process, and their IT manager has actually produced a reference implementation, so everyone is hopeful this will be approved soon.
  • GAMX is supported in the team scoreboard feature of OWCMS implemented in owlcms-tracker.  (owlcms-tracker is installed as a companion module using the control panel)

  • The team scoreboard does mixed competitions, and can export the results to Excel.
  • There is no current plan to support Robi in the tracker due to the need to constantly update the table.

If you are forced to use Robi, there is an Excel report with Robi per team that you can get using the Results > Competition Results page
Select the Robi scoring scheme in the dropdown, and use the "TeamsGlobalScoring" template.  This will give you the Robi scores for each member of each team.
There is also a Summary page that uses the Excel pivot table capability to generate the team total.
