LK calculator

Exactly as the DTB's implementing rules set it out: points from the LK gap, the hurdle from your own LK, age class, scoring format, team bonus. The result is truncated to one decimal place, the way the Verband publishes it. The formula is in the explainer.

Sex (the junior table distinguishes)

New LK

21.0

An improvement of 1.000; carried value 21.000, truncated to one place.

LK gap d
2.0
Points P
80.00
Hurdle H
80.0
Age class A
100 %
Scoring format Z
100 %
Team M
1.00

At LK 22.0 a whole step takes 80.0 points, a half step 40.0. In open-class singles a win against LK 20.0 or better is enough for that.

What the calculator cannot do

  • It works out one win. Several wins in the same week all count against the same Wednesday LK and are added up; enter them one at a time.
  • It does not know your carried value. The starting LK is taken as an exact figure; the real carried value can sit up to 0.099 below it.
  • The weekly drift of 0.025 is not included.
  • A fixed LK (the top 100) does not move on wins.

Explained

  • How the LK system worksThe scale, the formula, the Wednesday rhythm and the weekly drift.
  • Points and hurdleThe points curve old and new, the hurdle table, and why “200 at LK 13” is wrong.
  • What is a good LK?Why there is no official distribution, and what the steps mean in practice.
  • LK vs. UTRThe two scales, the table in circulation and where it came from, the one official bridge.
