The district representative will lay out the course which will vary from district to district. Point values will be awarded based on your finish time. At the district matches, depending on the number of entries, the start times may be staggered. This is a single elimination, bracketed event consisting of a single match. A match is determined by two out of three games.
Game is to twenty-one.
You must win by two. It all depends on which race you feel you are best suited. At the state and national level of competition, athletes will be placed into heats from which the top two finishers will compete in the finals. The best time recorded will determine the point value awarded for that individual. At district competition, entrants will be given a chance to run their event up to three times and the point values will be assessed on best time in those trials.
