World Athletics operates a global ranking system where athletes score points based on a combination of result and place depending on the level of the competition in which the result is achieved. The ranking is then based on their average score over a certain number of competitions in a defined period of time. 

The rankings commenced at the start of 2019 and this page details the Scottish athletes within the rankings who have achieved a performance score of 1000 points or more at the end of each calendar year.
