XENOM, the stadium-scale competition billing itself as the "Decathlon of Fitness," released scoring tables for nine of its ten events and launched an interactive Elite Performance Index calculator, giving competitive athletes their first detailed look at how performance converts to points before the series opens at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas on June 27-28, 2026.

The Elite Performance Index, or EPI, is the mathematical spine of XENOM's format. Rather than awarding placement points as CrossFit does, XENOM assigns a numerical score to every performance output including reps, time, and load, then sums the results across all ten events into a single total. The governing formula is A*(P-B)^C, where A scales the event, P represents the athlete's performance, B sets the minimum qualifying standard, and C controls how aggressively top-end performance is rewarded. That last variable is what separates linear events from progressive ones: in progressive-curve events, the points gap between a good performance and a great one widens exponentially, creating a ceiling that genuinely separates elite athletes from the field.

The published tables map those curves onto five classification bands. Scores from 0 to 2,000 fall in the Novice range, with Intermediate running from 2,000 to 3,500, RX from 3,501 to 5,000, RX+ from 5,001 to 7,000, and Elite defined as anything above 7,000. The interactive calculator lets athletes and coaches plug in target weights, projected times, or expected rep counts to generate an estimated EPI before ever stepping on the competition floor, making taper planning and training-block design considerably more precise.

The standardization ambition behind EPI mirrors track and field's approach to the decathlon, where fixed scoring tables allow athletes to compare performances across different meets and across years. XENOM is applying that same logic to functional fitness: if an athlete posts a 6,200 EPI in Frisco in June, that number carries the same meaning at the London or Paris stops later in the season. For coaches writing programs, knowing the exact point value of an additional five kilograms on a lift or ten seconds shaved from a run gives periodization a specificity that placement-based systems cannot offer.

XENOM goes into its debut with Rogue Fitness as equipment partner and previously reported financial backing, resources that underscore the seriousness of the standardization push. The scoring tables for the tenth event have not yet been released, but nine events' worth of curves and the live calculator are already available for athletes to work through ahead of Frisco.

The series is scheduled to travel to London, Miami, and Paris after Texas, meaning the EPI framework will be tested against an international field before the year is out. The first real-world numbers land June 28.
