STATE QUALIFYING

4A Track = The top three (3) placers in each event from the Northern Region meet, the top two (2) placers in each event from the Sunrise Region meet and the top two (2) placers in each event from the Sunset Region meet automatically advance to the 2006 NIAA Nevada State Track & Field Championships, presented by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The eighth qualifier / fifth Southern Nevada qualifier will be determined by matching the results between the No. 3 placers from both the Sunrise and Sunset region meets. Qualifiers are always based on place first, then time, including when comparing Sunrise and Sunset Region third-place finishers.

4A Field = The top three (3) placers in each event from all three regions will advance to the 2006 Nevada State Track & Field Championships meet. The event’s tie-breaking procedures will be used to determine third place in each region.

The meet (and event) staff will attempt to break ties, even in the case of state qualifying positions, according to the procedures outlined in Rule 6, Section 3, Article 2 for throwing events and in Rule 7, Section 3, Article 2 for jumping events.

TIES FOR STATE QUALIFYING POSITIONS

In the case of a tie for a state qualifying position, the following guidelines will apply:

1. Field Events = If a tie exists after rule book tie-breaking (placing & scoring) procedures have been applied, each tied athlete will advance to the state meet.

2. Running Events of 400 meters or less = A run-off will take place 30 minutes after the conclusion of the last running event in the meet.

3. Running Events of 800 meters or more = Each tied athlete will advance to the state meet.

SCORING

Scoring will be to eight places (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1).

AWARDS

The top three (3) placers in each event will receive medals. The top boys and girls team in each class meet will receive a trophy.

CHECK-IN REQUIREMENTS / CLERK & STAGING AREA

Athletes must report and check-in 30 minutes prior to the beginning of all events. The athletes may leave the staging area after check-in, however they will be responsible for arriving at the event site on time.

Pyramid spikes may not protrude more than 1/8-inch into the track/runway surface. All removable protrusions must be removed from the spike plate/shoe base. If an athlete is found to have competed with improper equipment, that athlete (and relay team) will be disqualified.

EVENT AREA

Coaches and non-participating athletes must stay outside all fenced, roped and flagged areas. Athletes must vacate the infield / event area immediately after the event’s conclusion (awards ceremony).
