WAVA Calculator  The WAVA Calculator calculates age adjust times
for road running events. The age grading is calculated based on
tables produced periodically by the World Association of Veteran
Athletes known as WAVA. WAVA has been replaced by WMA (World
Masters Athletics).  The tables give world best performances for
each sex at different ages, the "Age Graded Standard". These are
compared to the overall world record or "Open Standard" at the
distance to give a factor (multiplier) to apply to an athletes
time to give them an equivalent time for their current age. The
tables used by this calculator are the 2006 WAVA tables.  The
calculator and WAVA can be useful in a number of ways    •
Compare the results for runners of different ages in the same
race. Compare the WAVA percentage, which shows the race time as
a percentage of the world record time for the athelete's age,
the higher the WAVA percentage the closer to a world record at
that distance the athlete is. A new world record would produce a
WAVA over 10
