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.

Does any one know how they origionally determined the point values for each mark in each event?

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.
