Championship Qualifying Standards Athletes may qualify for the MAC Indoor Track and Field Championships by either meeting the “automatic” performance standard and/or fall within the descending-order list to fill the field. [Adopted 2/2012]

1. Automatic Performance Standard. Automatic performance standards shall be determined from the 5- year average, of the 8th best performance mark, for the women and the 5-year average, of the 6th best performance mark for the men in each event, from the final Conference rankings/performance list (through the MAC Championships) and approved by the Track and Field Coaches committee each year.

2. Event Field Size. a. WOMEN (INDOOR) Event fields for the women’s indoor track and field championships will be limited to 20 athletes per event, unless the number of declared automatic qualifiers exceeds 20. If the number of declared automatic qualifiers does not exceed 20 in an event, the field will be filled out to a total of 20 athletes per event based on the descending order list* of the remaining declared athletes. b. MEN (INDOOR) Event fields for the men’s indoor track and field championship will be limited to 14 athletes per event, unless the number of declared automatic qualifiers exceeds 14. If the number of declared automatic qualifiers does not exceed 14 in an event, the field will be filled out to a total of 14 athletes per event based on the descending order list* of the remaining declared athletes.

Note: In the event, the number of automatic qualifiers exceeds the field size limits all declared athletes may be entered, and shall compete in that event.

3. Tie-Breaker Procedure – Performance Marks. Any descending-order list ties, by mark, to be accepted, will be resolved by examining, of those tied, the second best valid qualifying meet performance submitted during the season, and so on until there is no basis for a mark. For a tie not resolved after all available mark comparisons, acceptance will be awarded to the competitor who achieved the original tying mark later in the season. For a tie still not resolved, acceptance will be awarded to the competitor who achieved the second best valid qualifying meet performance later in season, and so on until there is no basis for date comparison. As a last resort, the tie for the last qualifying position will be decided by the toss of a coin.
