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
