The points system is based on the IAAF World Tour standings but adds quite a bit to it, including performance bonuses. Athletes' eight best meets are totaled. The weakness in the system is exposed in the pole vault below, where Yelena Isinbayeva doesn't even make the top five because she's only competed twice this year, one of which was a bit of a bomb.
Women's High Jump
1. Blanka Vlasic (Croatia) 55 pts / 5 meets
2. Yelena Slesarenko (Russia) 48 pts / 5 meets
3. Ariane Friedrich (Germany) 46 pts / 6 meets
4. Yekaterina Savchenko (Russia) 31 pts / 5 meets
5. Ruth Beitia (Spain) 25 pts / 4 meets
Women's Pole Vault
1. Jen Stuczynski (USA) 61 pts / 6 meets
2. Yuliya Golubchikova (Russia) 40 pts / 5 meets
3. Jillian Schwartz (USA) 29 pts / 4 meets
4. Svetlana Feofanova (Russia) 24 pts / 3 meets
5. Carolin Hingst (Germany) 21 pts / 3 meets
Women's Shot Put
1. Valerie Vili (New Zealand) 57 pts / 4 meets
2. Nadzeya Ostapchuk (Belarus) 22 pts / 2 meets
(rankings cease to have meaning after 2 athletes)
