Team Scoring

The team score shall be the aggregate time of the scoring members. The team with the lowest aggregate time is the team winner.

Athletes must be bona fide members of a 2006 USATF club in order to represent a club and score team points. All athletes entering as part of a club must be affiliated with that club as part of their USATF membership (an athlete's current affiliation can be viewed in his/her membership profile and as part of the online entry process). Athletes wishing to change affiliations can make such a request through their local Association (note that this request must be made by the athlete--see Regulation 7 in the USATF Governance Manual, Section III).
