USATF News & Notes cites Kaseorg's score as 13,906 "using current scoring tables" but weren't the current scoring tables now in effect the same as ten years ago? I can't recall any multi-event point scores for men being changed. Maybe the non-standard events (e.g. 5-K, 10-K, 200 hurdles) have been fine tuned. But why wouldn't the ATFS annual also note the adjustment if this were the case?

Message text written by "Post, Marty" >In Athletics 2002, the latest ATFS Annual, on page 274 the world best for the double decathlon is credited to Indrek Kaseorg of Estonia in 1992 with a score of 14,274 points.< I wonder if they're the same events. I may be naive about such things (since I've never paid any attention to them), but I always thought that a double decathlon meant compeing in the same ten events twice over four days. Or maybe twice over two days--with all ten events on the same day each day (ugh!). I never heard of this thing with the 200mH, HT, TJ, etc.
