HOW IT WORKS · IAAF TABLES

How combined events scoring works

01

Pick your format

Decathlon (10 events, men) or heptathlon (7 events, women). Each event has its own scoring coefficients.

02

Enter your marks

Times in seconds (SS.xx) or minutes (M:SS.xx) for track events, meters for jumps and throws. Points update live.

03

Read your total

Each event's points come from the IAAF formula A×(B−T)^C for track and A×(M−B)^C for field events. The total places you on the world performance scale.

THE SCORING

Understanding the IAAF scoring tables

The IAAF scoring tables convert every performance into points so a 10.55s 100m can be compared to a 7.80m long jump. The formulas were designed so that equivalent athletic quality yields similar points across events.

The current tables date from 2001 and are still in force at World Athletics. Kevin Mayer's decathlon world record stands at 9,126 points (2018); Jackie Joyner-Kersee's heptathlon record at 7,291 points (1988).

FAQ

Combined events — FAQ

Each event uses the IAAF formula: A×(B−T)^C for track events (faster = more points) and A×(M−B)^C for jumps and throws (farther/higher = more points). A, B and C are official constants per event. Points are truncated to the integer and summed over the 10 events.

Above 8,000 points is international level (Olympic qualifying territory), 7,000+ is solid national level, and 8,500+ is world class. The world record is 9,126 points by Kevin Mayer (2018).

6,000+ points is international level, 5,300+ national level, 6,500+ world class. Jackie Joyner-Kersee's world record of 7,291 points has stood since 1988.

Yes — the calculator implements the IAAF 2001 combined events scoring tables, which are still the ones in force at World Athletics competitions, including the Olympic Games and World Championships.

Yes. Leave events empty and the total reflects only the entered marks — useful to project a final score mid-competition or plan targets per event.
