Calculate decathlon points for each event and the total score from your marks using the official scoring tables, with all ten events or just some.
Decathlon Score Formula or Method
Track-event times, jump marks in centimetres, and throw marks in metres use their event-specific coefficient triplets. Every event is floored to a whole point before the ten values are summed.
How the Calculation Works
The calculator applies the displayed relationship or exact lookup directly to the visible required inputs and reports one defined result with supporting detail.
How to Use This Calculator
- Choose fully automatic or hand timing for the sprint events.
- Enter the marks for the events you have; blank events are left out of the total.
- Select Calculate and review the primary result, supporting values, and steps.
- Use Reset before starting a new scenario.
Worked Example
Marks of 11.00, 7.00 m, 14.00 m, 2.00 m, 49.00, 15.00, 40.00 m, 4.50 m, 60.00 m, and 4:30 score 7,825 points after event-by-event flooring.
Input and Result Guide
| Item | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Track times | Seconds; enter 1500 m as minutes:seconds (4:30) or total seconds. |
| Long jump and high jump | Entered in metres and converted to centimetres internally. |
| Throws | Entered in metres. |
| Pole vault | Entered in metres and converted to centimetres internally. |
| Manual timing | Adds the official combined-events adjustment before the event formula. |
Interpreting the Result
Keep timing method, event distance, units, venue conditions, and scoring rules consistent when comparing results.
Assumptions and Limitations
This page calculates points from marks; it does not validate competition legality, wind, implement specifications, timing evidence, event order, abandoned events, or governing-body record eligibility.
Common Questions
How are hand times scored?
The calculator adds 0.24 seconds to 100 m and 110 m hurdles and 0.14 seconds to 400 m before scoring. The 1500 m time is unchanged.
Will my last successful calculation be restored?
Yes. The calculator saves the inputs of your last successful calculation in this browser and recomputes the result when restored. Reset clears this calculator’s saved state.
