Fourth Place-Points System
From 1998 to 2006, Sukma Games adopted the Fourth Place-Points System to calculate the points collected by athletes for the contingent. It was also a measurement to a contingent's strength and as bonus awards to a contingent. The Sukma Games organizer, however, has a somewhat misleading practice of ranking contingent based on most points or most medals collected in the medal table and not the traditional most gold-most silver-most bronze ascending order and includes fourth place and total points collected in the medal table. The system was abolished after the 2006 Sukma Games. Note that the system applied only for local contingents and not invitational contingents such as Brunei and Northern Territory.
Points are calculated based on the Number of Athletes in an event as follows.
Number Of Athletes | Gold | Silver | Bronze | 4th Place |
Single and Duo | 5 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Trio and Above | 8 | 5 | 3 | 2 |
