        The Decathlon Events

        10 events over two days, in this order.

        Day 1

        Events 1-5

        1. 100m

          Run

          A flat-out sprint that opens the competition and rewards pure speed.

        2. Long Jump

          Jump

          A fast run-up and a take-off from the board into the sand pit. Speed and spring decide the distance.

        3. Shot Put

          Throw

          A 7.26kg shot pushed from the shoulder inside a 2.135m circle. Leg drive and technique matter as much as strength.

        4. High Jump

          Jump

          The bar goes up after each clearance and three failures in a row end the event, so choosing your opening height matters.

        5. 400m

          Run

          One lap of the track to close day one. It tests speed endurance after a long day of competing.

        Day 2

        Events 6-10

        1. 110m Hurdles

          Run

          Ten hurdles at 1.067m. Rhythm between the barriers is as important as raw speed.

        2. Discus Throw

          Throw

          A 2kg discus thrown from a 2.5m circle after a spinning wind-up. Big points swings come from technique.

        3. Pole Vault

          Jump

          A run-up, a flexible pole and a bar several metres high. Often the most technical event of the ten.

        4. Javelin Throw

          Throw

          An 800g javelin thrown after a run-up. Timing and a fast arm count for more than strength alone.

        5. 1500m

          Run

          Three and three quarter laps to finish. Pacing on tired legs decides how many points you keep.

        Times are the slowest that still score the points; distances and heights are the shortest. Scoring 1,000 in every event gives 10,000 points.

        How Decathlon Scoring Works

        Official tables

        Points use the World Athletics formulas. Runs: A × (B − T)C; jumps and throws: A × (M − B)C, rounded down to a whole point.

        Points → performance

        Type points and you get the slowest time, or shortest mark, that still scores them. Not every total can be hit exactly, so the calculator tells you what the nearest mark really scores.

        Hand timing

        Hand-timed 100m and 110m hurdles get 0.24s added, and the 400m gets 0.14s added before scoring. Hand times are entered to a tenth of a second.

        Masters & saving

        Masters marks are converted to an open-age equivalent with the WMA 2023 age factors, then scored on the standard tables. Masters hurdles use the age-appropriate race (110m to M45, 100m from M50, 80m from M70). Results save in your browser and can be shared with a link.

        Questions

        Decathlon Scoring FAQ

        How are decathlon points calculated?

        Each of the 10 events is scored on its own using the World Athletics combined events scoring tables, then the points are added together. Runs use the formula A x (B - T)^C, where T is the time in seconds. Jumps and throws use A x (M - B)^C, where M is the height or distance. A, B and C are fixed for each event, and the result is rounded down to a whole point. For example, 11.27s in the 100m scores 801 points.

        How much is 1,000 points worth in each decathlon event?

        Scoring 1,000 points in every event would give a total of 10,000. The marks needed for 1,000 points are: 100m 10.39s, long jump 7.76m, shot put 18.40m, high jump 2.21m, 400m 46.17s, 110m hurdles 13.80s, discus throw 56.17m, pole vault 5.29m, javelin throw 77.19m, 1500m 3:53.79.

        What is a good decathlon score?

        As a rough guide: Club and junior athletes, 4,500 to 6,000. Strong club or county level, 6,000 to 7,000. National level, 7,000 to 7,800. International level, 8,000 and above. Olympic and world medal contenders, around 8,500 and above. Standards vary by country, age and level of competition, so use these as a starting point.

        What are the decathlon events, and in what order?

        Day 1: 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump and 400m. Day 2: 110m hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw and 1500m.

        Are these the same scoring tables used by USATF, UK Athletics and the IAAF?

        Yes. The calculator uses the World Athletics (formerly IAAF) combined events scoring tables. National federations, including USATF and UK Athletics, use the same tables, so your points match an official decathlon results sheet.

        How do hand timing and masters age grading affect the score?

        Hand-timed 100m and 110m hurdles get 0.24s added, and the 400m gets 0.14s added before scoring, as the rules require. For masters athletes, each mark is converted to an open-age equivalent with the WMA 2023 age factors, then scored on the standard tables. Masters hurdles use the age-appropriate race (110m to M45, 100m from M50, 80m from M70).
