The Mercier 2005 scoring tables were determined using the Mercier-Beauregard method (see here) and the world rankings for 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. The IAAF 2005 scores were taken from the scoring tables used for the IAAF World Rankings (see here). We should note that the Mercier 2005 scoring tables are the only tables developed for comparing performances between men and women.
Warning: The 2005 Mercier scoring tables should be used with caution for the "Mile" due to the small number of world
caliber performances in this event.
