Work out athletics points (decathlon) instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
IAAF combined-event scoring uses points = A x (B - performance) ^ C for track events and A x (performance - B) ^ C for field events, with published constants per discipline. The exponent above one means the tables reward improvement at the elite end disproportionately, which is why a tenth of a second matters more at 10.4 than at 11.4.
Track events
points = A x (B - time) ^ C
Field events
points = A x (distance - B) ^ C
points = A x (B - time) ^ C. IAAF combined-event scoring uses points = A x (B - performance) ^ C for track events and A x (performance - B) ^ C for field events, with published constants per discipline.

Enter event, performance. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
