Combined events are competitions in which athletes participate in a number of track and field events, earning points for their performance in each event, which adds to a total points score.
Outdoors, the most common combined events are the men's decathlon and the women's heptathlon.
Due to stadium limitations, indoor combined events competition have a reduced number of events, resulting in the men's heptathlon and the women's pentathlon.
Athletes are allocated points based on an international-standard points scoring system, such as the decathlon scoring table.

The Ancient Olympic pentathlon (comprising long jump, javelin, discus, the "stadion" race and wrestling) was a precursor to the track and field combined events and this ancient event was restored at the 1906 Summer Olympics (Intercalated Games).
A men's decathlon was held at the 1904 Summer Olympics, albeit contested between five American and two British athletes.
The 2001 IAAF points tables use the following formulae:  Points = for track events (faster time produces a better score)  Points = for field events (greater distance or height produces a better score) A, B and C are parameters that vary by discipline, as shown in the table on the right, while P is the performance by the athlete, measured in seconds (running), metres (throwing), or centimetres (jumping).
The decathlon tables should not be confused with the scoring tables compiled by Bojidar Spiriev, to allow comparison of the relative quality of performances by athletes in different events.
On those tables, for example, a decathlon score of 9,006 points equates to 1,265 "comparison points", the same number as a triple jump of 18 m. 
in 1934, the IAAF adopted a new set of scoring tables, proposed by Suomen Urheiluliitto (the Finnish athletics federation), that had already been used for a few years in national competitions in Finland.
This scoring system implemented vast changes, with the following features:(1) All of the individual events were scored with exponential functions, rather than the linear functions that had characterized all decathlon scoring tables to date.
For field events, this was a straightforward statistical procedure; for track events, the reciprocal of the athlete's time, representing speed, was used as the independent variable.
(2) The tables ranged from 0 to 1150 points per event.
Zero points corresponded to the performances of untrained schoolchildren, and 1000-point performances corresponded closely to world records. 
The decathlon consists of ten track and field events, with a points system that awards higher scores for better results in each of the ten components.
The athletes all compete in one competition with no elimination rounds.
At the end of competition, if two athletes are tied, the athlete who has received more points in the greater number of events is the winner.
