The Central American Championships in Athletics (Campeonatos Centroamericanos Mayores) is an athletics event organized by the Confederación Atlética del Istmo Centroamericano CADICA (Central American Isthmus Athletic Confederation) open for athletes from member associations.
Team ranking There is an overall winner in the team ranking based on points awarded for the athlete's placings. Moreover, there are winners in team ranking in the men's and women's categories. The point system changed over the years. At first, points were awarded for athletes on the first 6 places (6 points for 1st place, 5 points for 2nd place, ..., 1 point for 6th place). Starting in the mid 70s, points were awarded for athletes on the first 8 places (9 points for 1st place, 7 points for 2nd place, ..., 1 point for 8th place). From 2009 on, points were only awarded for athletes on the first 4 places (5 points for 1st place, 3 points for 2nd place, 2 points for 3rd place, and 1 point for 4th place).
