Team Scoring
Junior and Open
- Teams are comprised of a minimum of four athletes and a maximum of six athletes; teams may declare a maximum of eight athletes on their roster.
- All unattached runners, members of incomplete or ineligible teams, and
runners not declared as scoring team members will be removed from the
order of finish for purposes of team scoring.
- The aggregate places of each team's first four finishers will determine a
team's score, with the fifth and sixth finishers displacing.
- The team with the lowest score will be the winning team.
- Ties in scoring will be resolved by determining which team's fourth runner
finished nearest to first place.
Masters
- National Clubs (teams with members who reside in more than one USATF
Association) will not be scored.
- Team divisions are in 10-year increments.
- Men's 40+ and 50+ will score five members; men's teams 60+, 70+, and all
women's teams will score three members; all teams may declare a maximum of
eight athletes.
- The aggregate time of each team's scoring members will determine a team's
score.
- The team with the lowest time will be the winning team.
- Ties in scoring will be resolved by determining which team's last scoring runner
finished nearest to first place. (If a tie still exists, the
next-to-last scoring members are compared in the same way.)
- A runner may compete in a younger age division as a team member and still
compete as an individual in his/her true age division
