WPIAL TRACK AND FIELD - 2013

The Tiger teams will compete again in the WPIAL with the boys competing against 57 teams and the girls against 55 other schools.  The top two teams from each AAA section will enter the WPIAL team championship play.  In the event of a tie for first place in the team tournament, head-to-head competition will be the determining factor regarding tournament entry.  Multiple way ties will be broken in the following manner:

1.  Section records of the tied teams will be completed.
2.  The team with the best numerical record among the tied teams will be the qualifier.
3.  If the tie cannot clearly be broken, all will enter post-season play.

All WPIAL scheduled section dual meets must be completed by Friday, April 26, 2013.  The first round of the team track tournament will be conducted by the designated host teams without benefit of track steering committee management or financing by the league.

All multiple team meets scheduled in regular or post-season play will be scored as individual dual meets (e.g each team competes against all the others.  A tie breaker system for dual meet regular season and dual meet post season meets has been established.  Ties are broken by the following:

a.  Greater number of first place winners.
b.  Greater number of second place winners.
c.  Greater number of third place winners.

When 3 teams are scheduled in regular or post-season play, each will be scored as an individual dual meet.  If each team earns one win and  one loss in the double scoring method, the first step of the tie breaker will be total score for the day.  If a tie persists, the regular steps of first, second, and third place finishers will be applied.

The following qualifying standards have been established for entry into the individual qualifying rounds:
