This is good to include, and I believe it can also be determined automatically from using latitude/longitude and geocoding APIs. I will add it to our venue database this month. > - Does the data model allow to categorize the category of "competition" or > "competition series" like it is done on the EA calendar ?(ex.

There is another possible dimension to statistics, which is the actual level of the best performances. A National Championships in UK or Germany is altogether different to the National Championships of Liechtenstein or Montenegro. Some small open meetings in big countries are very high level. We and Tilastopaja have also toyed with some statistical measures, like the IAAF points achieved by the top 10 performances present, or perhaps the best absolute performance of the meeting. It may be worth having some field like "performanceLevel" and a taxonomy, or perhaps reducing it some computable number - world class, elite, amateur, whatever. This would be very helpful to statisticians to say "did anything interesting happen at that meeting?". We will be able to calculate this. - Andy
