GENERAL TOURNAMENT GUIDELINES: See pp. 33-36.
ENTRIES: 1. To be eligible to compete in the NCISAA state meet, each team, team member, and individual entry must compete in a minimum of 4 meets on 4 separate dates during the current season. 2. Athletes may compete in a total of four events. 3. Qualifying standards must be earned during the regular season of the current school year to be eligible for state competition 4. Any number of athletes who meet the published qualifying standard for a particular event may be entered in that event. There is no longer a limit of three entries per team. Qualifying standards must be earned during a meet conducted during the current school year. Qualified athletes must be entered online before the deadline. 5. If a team has no athlete who meets the standard or chooses not to enter a qualifier in an event, the team may still enter one non-qualifier in that event. This must be done by email to the meet director before the entry deadline. 6. If a team has fewer than three qualified entries in an event, that team my send a list of provisional non-qualifiers that would bring the total of that team’s entries to three. The coach must provide the TWO best marks for each athlete in case there are ties. These must be sent by email to the meet director before the entry deadline. 7 .Scoring. A maximum of three members of any team will be permitted to score. Only three members of any team will be permitted to advance to the finals of the field events or the races under 800 meters. 8. A school may enter only one relay team per relay event. 9. No late entry will be accepted after NOON on the Tuesday prior to the meet.
ON-LINE ENTRIES: Qualifying entries should be made on line using Direct Athletics at www.directathletics.com. Only qualified entries may be entered at the Direct Athletics web site. On line entries are free, and you can make changes and updates until the entry deadline – Noon on Tuesday prior to the meet. NON-QUALIFIED ENTRIES MUST BE EMAILED TO THE MEET DIRECTOR BY THE ENTRY DEADLINE. A team will consist of one or more participants. Placement points will be given in exact team member order. 1A/2A schools are expected to have verification of the performances they submit. This verification may include meet results or email documentation from meet directors. A copy of each team’s verifications will be kept by the meet director at a convenient location. Any coach wishing to inquire about an entry performance may check the documentation notebook at the meet site. Only after checking the notebook should that coach bring an issue to the meet director. An entry performance, either relay or individual, which cannot be verified will be listed as “NO TIME: and seeded accordingly.
Athletes who meet the qualifying standard in an event will be entered online and will be referred to as Automatic Qualifiers (AQ). Athletes who are entered by email as single non-qualifiers will be referred to as SOLO entries. Athletes who are entered by email as provisional non-qualifiers will be referred to as provisional non-qualifiers (PNQ).
1. You must enter all AQ and SOLO entries before any PNQs are entered. 2. For field events, 800, 1600 and 3200, if there are fewer than 24 entries, PNQ entries should be accepted to fill out the field to 24. If there are 24 or more entries, PNQ entries should not be accepted.
For the 100, 200, 400 and hurdles, if there are fewer than 24 entries, PNQ entries should be accepted to fill out the field to 24 running three heats of 8. If there are more than 24 entries, PNQ entries should be accepted to fill out the field to 32 running four heats of 8. Procedure: After the entry due date (noon on the Tuesday before the State Meet), the Meet Director compiles a performance list for each event. He/she can then determine how many additional entries he/she will need to fill the events. The Director will then go to his/her compiled list of PNQs and choose the number of athletes needed starting at the top of the list and working down. He/she will then simply notify the day after the entry due date ALL coaches of the PNQ athletes. The coach of the PNQ athletes must then send an email acknowledgement that their PNQ athletes will compete. If there are scratches, the next athlete on the list would be added (hopefully an unnecessary procedure as coaches should ONLY enter athletes who WILL compete).
MEET INFORMATION: The meet director will post all meet information on the NCISAA web site at www.ncisaa.org. Qualifying times, distances, and heights for teams will be listed on the NCISAA web site. Qualifiers are also listed in the Handbook. The entries must have accurate measurements and times in order to facilitate the seeding of flights and heats. Meet directors will inform coaches of proper entry procedures and how/when to make changes.
MEET RULES: National High School Federation rules will cover any situations not specifically covered in these regulations.
TRIALS: Trials will be held on Friday in boys' and girls' hurdles, boys' and girls' 100 meter, and boys' and girls' 200 and 400 meter. The 3200 meter relays and 3200 meter finals will also be run on Friday for boys and girls. The top 8 finishers (sprints and hurdles) will qualify for the finals and for team score. In the field events, the number of qualifiers for the finals will be one more than the n umber of places for team scoring. Both running and field events will score the same number of places for team point (either 8 or 6 depending on the number of track lanes.) If the meet is held on a 6 lane track, the top 6 finishers will qualify for the finals.
SCORING: Boys' and girls' meets will be scored separately. Points will be awarded as listed in National High School Federation rules according to number of teams entered in each meet. The number of scoring places will be determined by the number of track lanes up to eight places.
JEWELRY: Athletes are not permitted to wear jewelry during competition. Watches are allowed to be worn. The penalty for wearing jewelry is disqualification from that event.
FALSE STARTS: In the event of a false start, the entire field is charged. The next runner committing a false start will be disqualified from that event.
ADMISSION: Unless otherwise specified, admission for NCISAA play-off events is events is $7.00 per adult and $5.00 per NCISAA student. Children under the age of eight will be admitted free. 100% of gate receipts, after approved expenses, are due the NCISAA.
ROTATION: See pp. 58-60.
QUALIFYING STANDARDS: The following standards are computed on a sliding scale using a four year average of the 14th seeded times/distances/heights. The Sport Chairs will be responsible for computing next year’s standards using the current year’s 14th seeded entrants and forwarding those standards to the NCISAA Board of Managers before the summer meeting in June 2010.
Note concerning times of events: In order to minimize conflicts, it is hoped that the field events can be nearly completed before the running events begin. Athletes entered in two field events taking place simultaneously must be prepared to move back and forth between events.
Warm-ups for field events should be completed by the time the event is scheduled to begin. Competition must begin at the designated time. Running events should never be started before the designated time.
