முதல்தரத் துடுப்பாட்டச் சாதனைகள் பட்டியல்

முதல்தரத் துடுப்பாட்டச் சாதனைகள் பட்டியல் என்பது முதல்தரத் துடுப்பாட்டத்தில் அணிகள் மற்றும் தனிநபர்கள் நிகழ்த்திய சாதனைகளைப் பட்டியற்படுத்துகிறது. இப்பட்டியலில் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப்பட்ட சாதனை விவரங்கள் மாத்திரமே குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ளன. இதைவிட பல்வேறு விதமான சாதனைப் பட்டியல்களும் காணப்படலாம். ஒருதடவைக்கான (அணிக்கான மற்றும் தனிநபர் அதிகூடிய ஓட்டங்கள், அணிக்கான மற்றும் தனிநபர் அதிகுறைந்த ஓட்டங்கள் மற்றும் அதிகூடிய ஓட்ட வித்தியாச வெற்றிகள் போன்றன) மற்றும் பருவகால மற்றும் மொத்த விளையாட்டுக்கால (பருவ காலமொன்றில் அதிகூடிய ஓட்டங்கள் அல்லது இலக்குகள் மற்றும் மொத்த விளையாட்டுக்காலத்தில் அதிகூடிய ஓட்டங்கள் மற்றும் இலக்குகள் போன்றன) சாதனைகளும் உள்ளடக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

பிரித்தானியாவில் 1895க்கு முன்னரும் உலகளவில் 1947க்கு முன்னரும் அலுவல்ரீதியில் "முதல்தரத் துடுப்பாட்டம்" ஆடப்படவில்லை என்பதையும் கருத்திற்கொள்ளல் வேண்டும். இப் பட்டியலில் சேர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ள சில தகவல்கள் மேற்குறிப்பிட்ட ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு நிகழ்த்தப்பட்டனவாகும். எனினும், இத் தகவல்கள் அனைத்தும் பெரும்பாலான வரலாற்றாய்வாளர்கள் மற்றும் புள்ளிவிபரவியலாளர்களால் பிற்காலத்தில் முதல்தரத் துடுப்பாட்டப் போட்டிகள் என அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்ட போட்டிகளாகும் (அலுவல் ரீதியற்ற போட்டிகள்).

வேறுவிதமாகக் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டாலன்றி, இங்கு காட்டப்பட்டுள்ள சாதனைகள் கிரிக்கட்ஆர்கைவிலிருந்தோ அல்லது விசுட்டன் கிரிக்கட்டர்சு அல்மனாக்கிலிருந்தோ எடுக்கப்பட்டனவாகும்.
