Okay so how do they know which school wins? And for some events there are three or four heats of the same run. and alot of times they have two or three runners from the same school compete in the same event at the same time. What's the point in that? and how are the wins and loses of each event added up?|||Each meet has its own rules as to how many athletes from each school may enter each event.
At big meets it is usually 3 people from each school.
When there are too many entries so everyone can not run at the same time they have heats, and the best times win, or they use those heats as preliminaries and the top 8 runners compete head to head in the finals.
Most meets count the top 6 finishers points toward the team points for the team championship.
1st place gets 10 points, 2nd - 8, 3rd- 6, 4th -4, 5th - 3, 6th -2.
If you finish 7th or lower you get no points.
Whether or not runners from the same team run in the same heat depends on who and how they were heated, it doesn't matter in the outcome of the meet.|||A runner who wins 1st place gets 5 points, 2nd place 3 points, and 3rd place 1 point. Each of these points goes towards the teams total score. At the end of each meet the scores are tallied and whichever team acquires the most points wins the meet! There are no penalties for losing.
If there are multiple heats, all the scores are put together. The only reason for multiple heats is that there are not enough lanes to run everyone together. So the winner of each heat may not be the ACTUAL winner of the entire race. The times are gathered from all the heats and compared, whoever gets the fastest time wins.
The point of having multiple runners from one school is higher chances of winning, team spirit, or even practice for another race. Also, if you put in more than three runners, you have the chances of filling all three winning spots: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. You could rack up 9 points and be on your way to winning the meet.
Hope that helps!|||People are put in certain heats based on their previous times in that race. Typically the first heat is the fastest. Points are awarded based on the top runners in that race. First gets 10 pts second gets 8 third gets 6 fourth gets 4 fifth gets 3 and sixth gets 2. People from the same school may be placed in the same heat because they have pretty close race times and that is good because if they both do well then they will take a lot of points from the other teams. At the end of the meet after all events are completed they add up all the points and decide the winning team.|||You have much to learn grasshopper.
Sometimes competitors run "head-to-head" (preferred) if there's enough room on the track. If not, then "heats" are run and the places are based upon times.
Basically, each event gives points for 1st through 4th place (at least in a dual meet) ; 5pts.,3,2,%26amp; 1, respectively. All the points for each event is added up to get a total team score.|||You can tell by looking at the players effort and looking at the coach ability to coach.
