State Qualification Procedures
Class A
There will be four Class A district meets.
a. The winners of the first FOUR places in each individual running event will qualify for the state meet, plus the next 8 fastest times of the non-qualifiers, regardless of place in a finals event. There shall be a maximum of 24 qualifiers. If there is a tie for the last qualifying spot, none of those tied shall qualify.
b. The winners of first, second and third places in the relay events qualify for the state meet, plus the next 4 fastest times of the non-qualifiers, regardless of place in a finals event, with a maximum of 16 relay teams qualifying. If there is a tie for the last qualifying spot, none of those tied shall qualify.
c. In field events, the first four places shall qualify for the state meet.
d. Athletes placing first, second, third or fourth must have cleared 9′ 6” or higher to qualify in the boys’ pole vault and 6’ 6” or higher in the girls’ pole vault.
e. Regardless of place would mean that in RELAY events at district meets, any relay team who finished 4th -7 th place in their district meet could qualify for the state track meet if their time was one of the four fastest times of non-qualifiers from all districts submitted. It would not matter what place in their respective district they finished, but that the time was one of the four fastest of the non-qualifiers.
f. Regardless of place would mean in the individual running events with preliminaries and finals, the next 8 fastest times of the non-qualifiers may come from “finals” competition only. This means in the events with preliminaries and finals, 5th -8 th place could qualify for the state track meet if their district finals time was one of the next 8 fastest time of the non-qualifiers from all districts submitted. In the individual running events that are run as “finals only”, 5th -12th place could qualify for the state track meet if their district finals time was one of the next 8 fastest times of the non-qualifiers from all districts submitted.
g. In the event the FAT timing system would fail in any district in any running event, any individual running event would qualify the top 6 places and any relay event would qualify the top 4 places. This would pertain only to those events where the FAT failed. In the event of a tie for the last qualifying spot, none of those tied shall qualify in that event.

Class B
There will be six Class B district meets.
a. The winners of the first three places in each individual running event will qualify for the state meet, plus the next 6 fastest times of the non-qualifiers, regardless of place. Regardless of place is to mean that any competitor who finishes 4 through 6 in their respective district meet could qualify for the State Meet if their time is one of the 6 fastest times of the non-qualifiers from all districts submitted. There shall be a maximum of 24 qualifiers. If there is a tie for the last qualifying spot, none of those tied shall qualify.
b. In the field events, the first three places shall qualify for the state meet.
c. The winners of first and second places in the relay events qualify for the state meet, plus the four fastest times of the non-qualifiers regardless of place, with a maximum of 16 relay teams qualifying. If there is a tie for the last qualifying spot, none of those tied shall qualify.
d. Athletes placing first, second, or third must have cleared 9′ 6” or higher to qualify in the boys’ pole vault, and 6’ 6” or higher in the girls’ pole vault.

Ties
Individuals tied for the district’s last state qualifying spot in races of 200 meters or less must compete for that qualifying spot in a run-off. Only the winner of the run-off will qualify for the state meet. In all other individual events those individuals tied in the district meet or in time comparisons for the state meet will not qualify unless the tied individuals ran in the same race, and one was picked ahead of the other.
a. In the field events, those tied for the last qualifying spot shall qualify if places cannot be determined by using the tie breaker rule for field events.
b. Relay teams tied for the fastest time will not qualify for the state meet.
c. Ties in time comparisons for the relay qualifiers will be broken by giving preference to the team(s) with the highest place in head to head competition. If the tie for qualifying still exists, those teams tied will not qualify.

Additional Qualifiers
In addition to the regular qualifiers in the individual events, as outlined above, additional qualifiers in Class A will be allowed if their time is one of the six fastest from all districts, regardless of place. If there is a tie for an extra qualifying spot, those individuals tied will not qualify unless the tied individuals ran in the same race, and one was picked ahead of the other.
a. There are no additional qualifiers in the relays.
b. In addition to the regular qualifiers in field events, all qualify who equal or exceed the following in 2016 NSAA District Track and Field Meets. The qualifying marks are determined by using the average distance/height of 6th place for the past 3 years.
