News has come through that Ian Thomas died at the start of this year (5.2.21)
Ian was instrumental in setting up English Schools Computer Scoring for Combined Events in 1991, and corresponded with members of the NUTS Working Party (National Union of Track Statisticians). He based his initial work on the Formulae in the IAAF 1985 Scoring Tables , which included 80m Hurdles as the only Vets event ! His notes at the time also mention the possibility of producing tables for non-standard events.
Years ago, our competitions just involved Senior Men and Senior Women. Then a few athletes matured into Veterans and still wanted to enjoy the Competitions, so the idea of an Inter-Age Group contest was floated. This meant adjusting the IAAF points totals for each discipline by applying suitable factors to the scores, so that the overall winner at such meetings might be a 65 year old ,or a 20 year old.
It needed a genius to produce a set of tables that would achieve this aim, and Ian Thomas was that man. On this icosathlon.fi website are the results of his labours, found by clicking on Score Calculator. This gives a menu for the 10 Masters age groups, men (Icosathlon) and women (Tetradecathlon), for both days. Each table lists performances gaining from 1000 points down to 1 point, and 40 tables needing 16 pages each is a lot of paper if you want hard copies !
It is a monumental piece of work, appreciated by icosathletes and organisers throughout the world, and Ian’s time and knowledge and enthusiasm will be sorely missed by us, as well as by the myriad of Combined Events people in Britain.
I have fond memories of meeting Ian in Sheffield when National Vets C.E. Championships and matches against the U.S.A. were held there for a number of years. He was a very humble man, and yet so talented. We all owe him an immense debt of gratitude.
