International Runners Decathlon
Scoring system

At the Runners Decathlon the time values of each distance will be converted into points using the following formula:

Points = A * (B − M * AF)²

where A and B are distance dependent constants (see below) and M is the measured time in seconds. AF is a age factor, which depends on age and sex (see below).

Please apply following rules:

• If a distance was not finished successfully the runner will get 0 points.
• Within the total scoring always AF = 1.0000 is used.
• The value M * AF have to be rounded up to the next whole hundredth of a second.
• In the very high age groups (e.g. 70 years and above) the rank within the age group can be determined using the age factors. The organizer decides in this case. This rule is valid from 2016.
• If the measured time M * AF is greater than the constant B the runner will get 1 point.
• The calculated points have to be rounded down to the next whole number.
• If the point value is 0, because M * AF is nearby B, so the runner will get 1 Point

These parameters (Stand 24 Jan 2007; 2,000 m: Stand 22 Jan 2018) are developed for the Runners Decathlon specially. The calculated points are not comparable with other multi discipline competitions such as classical decathlon.

Age factors

The age factors are based on the official age factors of the European Masters Athletics (www.european-masters-athletics.org).

At Runners Decathlon only one factor is used to keep the basic characteristics of the scoring system of Runners Decathlon. This factor is the average of the 10 official factors of the distances of Runners Decathlon.

Age	Women	Men	Remarks
14 .. 15 years	1.0000	1.0000	Youth Runners Hexathlon (L6K)
16 .. 59 years	1.0000	1.0000	This is the general value, which is also used for the total scoring of all age groups.
60 .. 64 years	0.7887	0.8210	These values can be used for scoring in the age groups. The organizer decides from which age group the age factors will be used.
65 .. 69 years	0.7425	0.7857
70 .. 74 years	0.6888	0.7465
75 .. 79 years	0.6262	0.6992
80 .. 84 years	0.5510	0.6404
85 .. 89 years	0.4595	0.5657
90 .. 94 years	0.3599	0.4701
