Decathlon

not sure if this is the right spot to post this but... Does anybody know where I can find a decathlon point calculator online or a scoring table for a decathlon? the IAAF site has tables but I'm not sure if it's for decathlon.

Iaaf has a point system for the decathlon. It is more of a time, distance, or height matched up to a number. Say you jumped 4.80m in the pole vault during the decath: according to the IAAF, you would have scored 849 points.

The decathlon points can be computed using formulas I found on a german site. They can be put into an Excel spreadsheet for easy and convenient computation.
