They talk about 60 points min per event, but I looked a little but could not find the point chart. eg is a 100lb deadlift = 60 and 200lb - 100 points??

No, if you look up "ARMY COMBAT READINESS TEST" in google you might be able to find the current scoring. Current scoring starts super low and gets harder exponentially. Right now 30 points is passing, 100 maxing, per event. For example, 170 lbs. for the deadlift is 30 points, 300 is 80, 350 is 90, 400 is 100. The ball toss is 3 meters for 30, 14.5 meters for 100. Basically it was designed to be minimally passed by 45 year old chicks, but maxed by 21 year old Olympic male athletes.
Scoring may change, they're still gathering data from the force to see what the bell curve looks like. But the test itself is really cool in my opinion. No one finished it and said it was stupid, and it measures lots of components that the old APFT didn't really capture.
EDIT - There's actually way more female 11A's than that... I talked to a Fellow SGM in one of the Infantry BCTs on Campbell that said they had five in the brigade. Jury is still out on how it's working out....
