This manual outlines the technical procedures for the 2019 Big 12 Indoor Track & Field Championship. Please use this information in conjunction with both the Big 12 Sport Resource Guide (SRG) and the Big 12 Indoor Track & Field Championship Manual, as well as the NCAA Track & Field/Cross Country Men’s and Women’s Rules Book. Any issues not addressed directly by these documents or NCAA or Big 12 rules, will be acted upon by the Commissioner of the Big 12 Conference in conjunction with the Athletics Directors.

Coaches are reminded that amending and/or adding championship rules as reflected in the technical manuals or championship manuals should only be changed at the annual track & field coaches’ meeting (September). Items that impact scoring or recruiting cannot be implemented until the next academic year. (Last Updated 2007-08)
