ELIGIBLE MEETS:

Outdoor Track and Field Championships may be counted towards your Grand Prix total, provided the meet occurs between
March 1, 2003 and June 8, 2003. This includes most NCAA and USATF sanctioned meets.
If you are unsure whether a meet may count towards the Grand Prix, please contact Jerry Colman.
There is no limit to the number of meets you may enter, but only
the best five (5) performances will count, will the following rules:
1. Only one (1) scoring event per meet is allowed. The rationale for this is that the PA USATF Grand Prix is to develop athletes competitive on the national level.
2.A maximum of two (2) meets outside the PA USATF boundaries can score points. Any others must be within the PA USATF boundaries.
3.Points will be doubled at The PA USATF Championships to be held Sunday, June 8, 2003 at Hughes Stadium in Sacramento.
4.A score in a multi event competition counts as two meets as long as the score is at, or above, the 900 point level.
5. A bonus of points scored at the USATF National Championships will be added to your final score. This is over and above your points scored in up 5 other meets as outlined above.
SUBMITTING RESULTS:
The Grand Prix coordinator will attempt to gather results for those who have registered for the series.
However, all athletes should submit their results to the Grand Prix coordinator to ensure that all their
results are counted, especially for meets outside the PA USATF boundaries. The point totals will be
posted weekly on The Pacific Association website www.pausatf.org and any ommisions should be noted.
