Everything you need to know about playing HEATLIST
Team Selection
Go to your Dashboard and open the upcoming meeting. During the selection window you can pick your athletes and confirm your team. Once the window closes your team is locked in.
You can select up to 10 athletes per meeting (the exact limit may vary per circuit). You must always designate exactly one captain.
Yes — as long as the selection window is still open. Once selection closes your team is final and can no longer be edited.
If you do not submit a team before selection closes, you score 0 for that meeting. That score counts toward your season total, so missing meetings has a real impact on your ranking.
Yes. Each circuit is independent. You can switch between circuits using the circuit selector in the navigation.
Captain & Scoring
Your captain earns 1.5× their base points for that meeting. Choosing the right captain is one of the biggest decisions each round — a strong captain can be the difference between winning and losing a week.
Your meeting score = sum of all your athletes' result points, with your captain's points multiplied by 1.5. Example: if your captain scores 80 pts, they contribute 120 pts to your total instead of 80.
Points are based on real-world performance results and entered by the administrators after each meeting. They are derived from World Athletics scoring tables, so better performances yield more points.
An athlete who does not compete receives 0 points. There is no replacement — choose athletes you are confident will start.
Meeting levels (OW, DF, GW, GL, A–F) reflect the prestige of the competition. Higher-level meetings generally produce better performances and therefore higher point totals, since points are tied directly to real results.
Rankings
Your season score is the sum of all your meeting scores across the circuit. Every completed or live meeting you participated in counts. The player with the highest total at the end of the season wins.
Rankings update automatically as soon as an administrator enters results for a meeting. You will see the leaderboard reflect the new scores immediately.
On the Rankings page you can switch between the overall season leaderboard and individual meeting leaderboards to see who performed best in each specific round.
Players can choose to hide their display name in public rankings from their Profile settings. Anonymous players still compete and their scores count — you just cannot see their name.
