Indoor · 7 events · World Athletics scoring tables
Seven events over two days indoors — the men's heptathlon is the winter combined event, a compressed test of speed, power and technique held when the throws and the long runs move under a roof.
Inputs: seconds for sprints/hurdles, centimetres for jumps, metres for throws, m.ss.ss (minutes first, so 5 = 5:00.00) for 800 m / 1000 m / 1500 m.

World Athletics scores every mark with the same shape of formula. For a track event (faster is better) the points are A × (B − T)^C, with T your time in seconds; for a field event (farther or higher is better) they are A × (M − B)^C, with M your distance in metres. The result is rounded down to a whole number and never drops below zero.
Add the 7 event scores for the total. The tables are progressive, so the closer a mark gets to world-record level, the more each extra centimetre or hundredth of a second is worth.
How is the men's indoor heptathlon different from the decathlon?
It has seven events instead of ten, is held indoors, swaps the 100 m / 110 m hurdles / 400 m / 1500 m for the 60 m / 60 m hurdles / 1000 m, and drops the discus and javelin entirely.
What is the order of the men's heptathlon events?
Day one: 60 m, long jump, shot put, high jump. Day two: 60 m hurdles, pole vault, 1000 m.
What is a good men's heptathlon score?
The world indoor record is in the high 6400s; a total in the low-to-mid 6000s is championship class.
