Team Scoring

As with the 2010 New Balance Outdoor Nationals, there will be team scoring for the 2011 New Balance Indoor Nationals.

Rules

.
  1. All athletes on a team MUST have attended the same high school in the 2010-2011 scholastic year. The only exception to this rule will be situations where schools permanently "send" their athletes to another school to compete on athletic teams (i.e. technical schools that have no athletics, home schooled athletes or pre-high school athletes in states where those athletes are eligible to compete on the high school team).
  2. Athlete eligibility will be independently verified.
  3. All athletes on a team must be "declared". Athletes may not be added to a team after any team member has competed in any championship event.
  4. Coaches shall use their best efforts to have their athletes enter under the club.
  5. Only championship events count in the scoring (no Freshman or Emerging Elite events).
  6. Individual events and relays will be scored on a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
  7. In the event of ties for 1st, 2nd or 3rd places the team with the most first place finishes in the eligible events shall take the higher place. If the tie remains, the team with the most 2nd, then 3rd, etc place finishes will prevail.
  8. A trophy will be awarded to the winning team in each gender.
  9. New Balance will outfit the winning team of each gender for the 2010 — 2011 track season.
  10. Scoring will be updated periodically throughout the meet.
  11. The competition will be considered closed 15 minutes after the completion of the last event on the program on Sunday, March 13, 2011. Appeals must be made in person by appearance at the administration area at the track. Appeals must be made to meet management. The decision of the judges on appeal will be final.
