Women's Pentathlon
Indoor · 5 events · World Athletics scoring tables
Five events in a single day indoors — the women's pentathlon is the sport's most concentrated combined event, packing hurdles, two jumps, a throw and an 800 metres into one continuous session.
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.

How the points work
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 5 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.
