Outside qualification marks are determined by last year’s 8th place marks.  If there is no 8th place mark in the finals (or deemed out-of-range), then the 8th place mark from the prelims shall be used.  6 years ago we used 4th place marks.  Then, when the South Region had 12 teams and qualified 6, the East and West had 6 teams and qualified 3, and the North had 8 and qualified 4—the games committee quickly discovered the South had an unfair scoring advantage which no other sport had to deal with.  In the interest of equity, the games committee opted to lower the qualification standard to 8th place.

 

Times for the track events are listed as FAT.  Hand times will only be accepted for events 300m or longer.
