Qualifying Guidelines
- All qualifying performances must be made on an indoor track. No allowances are provided for marks made at altitude, or on indoor facilities of differing size, banking or other configurations.
- Qualifying marks must be made in accordance with USATF Rule 149 and verifiable in one of the following:
- USATF or IAAF sanctioned events which prescribe to or exceed USATF rules of competition, or
- events at collegiate meets which prescribe to or exceed USATF rules of competition, or
- high school meets, excepting dual and triangular meets, which prescribe to or exceed NFHS rules of competition, or
- meets or events which meet a minimum for competitiveness set by the Chair of the Sport Committee and determined to be valid by the USATF staff member responsible for verification.
- Indoor qualifying standards excepting the men's heptathlon and women's pentathlon, must be attained on or after Saturday, November 14, 2015 throughSunday, February 28, 2016.
- Qualifying standards for the men's heptathlon and women's pentathlon may be attained on or after January 1, 2015 through Sunday, February 14, 2016.
- Fully automatic timing (F.A.T.) is the only method of timing acceptable for qualifying marks for events equal to or shorter than 400 meters (denoted by *).
- Times submitted in hundredths of a second must be F.A.T. times.
- A manual time may be used for qualifying for running events of 800 meters and longer and race walk events only if no F.A.T. qualifying time exists for the race during the qualifying period. A manual time may not supersede any F.A.T. qualifying time for an event. Qualifying manual times, for eligible events, not already listed, are always the F.A.T. qualifying time without the last zero for men and the F.A.T. qualifying time minus 0.14 for women. Manual times will be converted for seeding purposes using USATF Rule 166.
- All performances are subject to verification. For information on what constitutes an acceptable meet for qualifying purposes, refer to the Criteria for a Legal Meet or email[email protected] at the USATF National Office.
- Automatic qualification, as described in USATF Rule 8 (Automatic Qualification) shall not abrogate any entry requirements other than the qualifying requirements for a championship. However, the athlete must enter the meet and declare their intent to compete.
The Sport Committee Chair will adjust the standards, where necessary, 45 days prior to the competition, based on received entries at that time. Therefore, early submission of an entry close to the standard is advised.
