North Coast Section Passes Bylaw Concerning League Disqualification

Revision of Sports & General Rulings Handbook Bylaw 25.405

IMMEDIATE IMPLEMENTATION

Sports & General Rulings Bylaw 25.405H Area Entries:

Any competitor or relay team that is disqualified from an event during the league qualifying meet may not move on to the next level of competition in that event. A league may only submit qualified entries to advance to the next level of competition regardless even if they don't fill their allotted number of entries. Rule 4 Sec. 5 Art.1 NFHS Track and Field Rule Book 2011

Rationale: The track management committee feels that additional language is needed for each league to come in compliance with the NFHS Rule 4 Sec. 4 Art. 1. We have had relay teams allowed to advance to the next level of competition after being disqualified in the qualifying meet.
