*The conference standard mark for the High Jump and the Pole Vault should be set at three bar progressions below the regional qualifying mark for that year.
If the conference does not have enough qualified entrants in an event, the top 12 verified performances in that event will be allowed to enter without using a “Wild Card” or “Right of Entry”. Furthermore, the following stipulations will apply:
- Each squad needs to enter a minimum of 14 athletes, but be limited to 32 total entrants;
- Eight places will be scored;
- Eight “Wild Card” entries will be allowed per team, provided they don’t exceed the 32 squad size limit.
- In the case where a team does not have an athlete qualified in an event, the team may enter one athlete in the event provided it doesn’t exceed the 32 squad size limit. This will be called a “Right of Entry” and;
- “Wild Cards” and “Right of Entries” do not bump athletes out of the competition who have achieved a qualifying standard or are themselves wild cards or right-of-entry.
