Scoring System

Each discipline uses World Athletics' official scoring formulas to convert performances into points:

• Track Events: Points = a × (b - Time)^c
• Jumps: Points = a × (Height - b)^c
• Throws: Points = a × (Distance - b)^c

The formulas are calibrated to balance scoring across different event types, ensuring that no single discipline dominates the total score. All point values are rounded down to the nearest whole number.
