ATHLETICISM RATING AND PERFORMANCE MEASURING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of processing athletic sensor data comprising:
- automatically receiving through a first wireless communication link of an athletic unit worn by a first athlete while performing a first athletic event, performance data collected by a sensor during the first athletic event; and
automatically wirelessly transmitting the received performance data through a second wireless communication link of the athletic unit to a base unit during the first athletic event; and
processing the performance data at the base unit by seamlessly integrating the collected performance data into an automatically calculated athletic performance score for the first athlete for the athletic event utilizing performance data received from the at least one sensor.

Abstract
A universal athleticism rating system and related athletic performance measuring systems for accurately detecting and recording athletic performance are disclosed. The athleticism rating system evaluates individual athletes against a common, standardized, set of athletic performance tests. Each athlete performs the athletic tests and his or her scores in the individual tests are entered into a standardized calculation to produce a single athletic performance score. The related performance measuring system is preferably a timing system that ensures quick, easy, and accurate collection of athletic event timing related data without the need for the athlete to wear any special detection devices or the like. In a preferred embodiment, the performance measuring system integrates with the rating system to provide seamless athletic data collection and rating of athletes.
