Scoring  The meet will be scored 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Awards - Top three athletes in individual events receive medals.  Top eight athletes in individual events receive award t-shirts.  Top three teams in relays receive medals and award t-shirts.  We will be holding on-field Awards Ceremonies after each final.  Each athlete that finishes in the top 8 in any individual event will immediately be escorted to the awards peristyle.  Results will be read and the athletes will be recognized.  The top eight athletes will receive an award t-shirt.  The top three athletes will receive medals.  We are bringing back the classic BYU Invitational medal, designed specifically for the invitational and presented during the 1980s.  Awards will be presented promptly, allowing athletes to be available for additional competitions.  We recognize that there is the possibility that because of protests, results could change after awards are presented.  We feel that the benefits of a timely awards ceremony are sufficient to accept the risk of possibly holding a corrected awards ceremony later on. We will also be recognizing the top male and female, track, and field athlete each day as the Outstanding Athlete, making 8 total athletes that will be honored.

Entry Fees - Meet entry fees are $5 per registered athlete. 

Entry limitations - Each team will be allowed to enter athletes up to 24 participations per gender, not counting the 3200 meters or the relays.  Each athlete may enter in up to 4 events, including relays.  All athletes must have met the qualification standards this season.

Relays - The top 9 relay teams by performance in each classification will be admitted into each relay.

3200 Meters - The top 10 athletes in each classification will be invited into the 3200.

Implement Weigh-in - Implement weigh-in will be in the bull pen on Friday from 7:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.  After weigh-in, implements will be impounded until the competition.

Track - The BYU track stadium is a world-class facility, constructed with the state-of-the-art Mondo Super X surface.  Track radius is 52 meters, providing for short straights and wide turns. 

Spikes - Only 9 mm pyramid spikes are allowed.  No Christmas trees.  No needles.

Check-In - Check-in is required of all athletes.  Check-in can take place at any time during the day up until that event is called.  Do not be late.  Athletes that do not check in will be scratched and will not be allowed to compete.   If a competitor in a field event needs to be excused to compete in a running event, permission from the field event judge must be obtained.  The competitor shall then have up to 15 minutes to return to the field event, unless the event is a final.  The games committee strongly recommends that the athlete competing in the conflicting running and field events use a proxy to check in at the running Bull Pen to obtain hip numbers.  When it is time to run, permission from the field event judge is needed to leave the field event competition and compete in their running event.
