New Rule for PA USATF Competition
The Pacific Association of the USA Track and Field has posted a reminder of the new requirement for teams competing in their Grand Prix events.
As of March 1, 2011 PA/USATF clubs are required to have a minimum number of certified USATF officials (with an LDR/XC specialty) on their club roster to score team points on the PA Road and Cross Country Grand Prix circuits.
This only applies to teams with 25 or more athletes competing, which is pretty much all the big local clubs.
Clubs fielding 25 to 49 runners need one official. Clubs fielding 50 to 99 need two, and 100 or more need three. Details of the requirement are posted here (PDF).
