Terms and Conditions

  1. Athletes who are 18 years old and will reach their 19th birthday on or before July 30, 2001 are ineligible to compete in Youth Athletics competition at any time during the 2001 competition year.

  2. Meeting qualification standards is no longer required. The performance guidelines are provided as best estimate of the performance required to earn a medal in this year's Championship. The guidelines were determined by taking a weighted average of the 2000 guidelines and the 2000 eighth-place performance. If there were fewer than eight entries in a particular event, the eighth place performance was estimated.
  3. Starting heights for high jump will be 10 centimeters below the stated guidelines; starting heights for pole vault will be 30 centimeters below the guidelines.
  4. Marks submitted for this meet should be the athlete's best performance for the event during the previous twelve-month period.
  5. Times submitted in hundredths of seconds must be fully automatic times (FAT).
  6. Composite scores may be computed for combined events using point scores for the athlete's best performance in each individual event during the previous twelve months.
  7. Marks for the 1600m and 1 Mile are acceptable equivalents for the 1500m; 3200m and 2 Mile marks for the 3000m, and 300m hurdle marks for the 400m hurdles.
  8. In the Intermediate Boys' and Young Men's divisions, the 1500m, 1600m, 1 Mile, 3000m, 3200m and 2 Mile marks are also acceptable equivalents for the steeplechase.
