Combined Events Scoring


IAAF scoring tables will be used to score all combined events competition (Triathlon, Pentathlon, Heptathlon, and Decathlon).

Team Scoring


Team scoring will be based on the following point structure, with the top 8 places scored: 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 to indicate points from first through eighth place. Each male and female division will be scored separately. All teams will be scored automatically. Team-scoring declarations and fees are not required.
  • Combined Events: The team points earned by a club/team member in the combined events competition will be included in that team's overall score.
  • Club/Team Relays: All relay team members must be members of the same club, which must also be registered with club's resident USATF Association for 2016. Only those athletes listed on the team's entry "roster" will be allowed to compete on a relay team.

Protests


Per USATF Rule 146, all protests must be submitted in writing not later than 30 minutes after the results of an event are posted.  This time period will be strictly enforced. The cost to file a protest is $100 cash. This fee is refundable only if the protest is upheld. Only violations of the 2016 USATF Rules of Competition may be protested. Judgment calls made by meet officials cannot be protested. Protests that do not meet the above criteria will not be accepted.
