Decathlon Points

When competing in multi-events, each event has a formula based around the world record to give a result in points, so that different events can be compared. At the end of the compertition all the points are added together to give a winner. The calculator works out the points from performance and also adds the total up. If you click on a single event, it will give a list of performance with the points from 1200 to 0.

Example 1 (800m Men)

1:59.92 = 863
1:59.99 = 862
2:00.06 = 861
2:00.13 = 860
2:00.20 = 859
So if you did a 800m in 2 mins you will score 861. To score 862 you need to beat or equal 1 min 59.99 sec.

Example 2 (Discus Women)

30.12 = 465
30.06 = 464
30.01 = 463
29.96 = 462
29.90 = 461
So if you throw a Discus 30 metres you will score 462. To score 463 you need to beat or equal 30.01 metres.
