How scoring works
Track events (timed)
Points = a × T² + b × T + c, where T is the time in seconds. The faster the time, the more points.
Field events (distance)
Points = a × M² + b × M + c, where M is the mark in metres. The farther or higher the mark, the more points.
Gender-specific coefficients
The coefficients a, b and c are different for men and women and for each event. Points are rounded to the nearest whole number and capped at 1400.
What are World Athletics points?
The World Athletics scoring tables (formerly IAAF) give every event the same 0-to-1400 scale, so a sprint can be set against a jump. Usain Bolt's 9.58 s over 100 m scores 1356 points; a long jump of about 9 m scores almost the same.
This calculator applies the official World Athletics scoring tables (2025 edition), written as a quadratic formula for each event and sex. Results stay within 1 point of the printed tables. For a certified score, check the official PDF.
Frequently asked questions
World Athletics points (also known as IAAF points or the Hungarian scoring tables) allow performances in different disciplines to be compared on a single scale from 0 to 1400. They are used in certain combined-events competitions and as a general benchmark for evaluating an athlete's level regardless of discipline.
From the official World Athletics scoring tables. For each event and sex, the points are a quadratic function of the mark: a × x² + b × x + c, with x in seconds or metres. The coefficients are specific to the event and the sex, and the result is rounded to a whole number.
Records are usually worth between 1300 and 1400 points. Usain Bolt's 100 m world record (9.58 s) scores 1356. The calculator stops at 1400.
World Athletics points measure how good a single performance is, whatever the event. The World Rankings work differently: they are built from competition results (placing, level of the meeting, how recent). The two are separate systems.
The calculator follows the official 2025 tables to within 1 point. For a certified value (a competition entry, an official record), use the scoring tables PDF published by World Athletics.
