DOTS Score vs Body Weight
How the DOTS Score Works
DOTS (Dynamic Objective Team Scoring) is a modern coefficient for comparing powerlifting performances across weight classes.
Formula
DOTS Score = Total (kg) x DOTS Coefficient
The coefficient uses a 4th-degree polynomial fitted to updated performance data, providing a more balanced comparison across weight classes than the older Wilks formula.
Advantages Over Wilks
DOTS uses more recent competition data and provides a fairer comparison at the extreme ends of the body weight spectrum.
Example Calculation
An 82 kg male lifter with a 500 kg powerlifting total.
- 01Calculate denominator for male at 82 kg using polynomial
- 02DOTS coefficient is approximately 0.687
- 03DOTS score = 500 * 0.687 = 343.5
