Fingertip Wrinkle Index introduced
Capacitive gloves will measure fatigue from the 2023 championships.
From the 2023 World Championships, capacitive gloves will measure how far each athlete's fingertips have wrinkled at the end of every chukka. The Fingertip Wrinkle Index is a fatigue marker and has no effect on scoring.
Since 2023, Outdoor athletes have averaged 6.4 on the index and Indoor athletes 5.5.
