Value

A list of class "combined_events" (or "combined_events_null" if combined_event = NULL) with the following fields:

results

if called with non-NULL combined_event, a data frame with columns for the specified combined event containing the names of those events, mark for the input marks/performances, and score for the resulting scores based on those marks. The last row of the data frame gives the total score for the specified combined events competition. If combined_event = NULL, a data frame with columns event, mark, and score.

marks

the vector of marks for the specified combined event. If not all marks were supplied to scores(), then there will be NA values for those events with missing marks. If combined_event = NULL, the vector of marks.

scores
