Event Participation Limits - A contestant may participate in a maximum of five events per meet but no more than four may be track events, and no more than four may be field events. Further, no more than three of the four track events allowed can be 400 meters or longer, which includes participation in relays.

Guidelines on Handling Contests during Lightning Disturbances - The NMAA will follow guidelines outlined in the NFHS Track and Field Rules Book. Host site administration is responsible for ensuring that NFHS guidelines are strictly adhered to.

Certification of Qualifying Results

For individual and/or relay team results to be considered based on meeting the qualifying marks (at a qualifying or district meet), the times, heights and/or distances must be verified by the end of that meet. The official results must be certified by the meet referee and sent to the NMAA office within a week of the conclusion of the meet.

It is the responsibility of the coach to submit qualification information for his/her athletes to the designated NMAA database. No other forms of submissions will be accepted. Member schools have seven (7) calendar days to post qualifying marks established at qualifying meets.

District meet results and the season composite of results are due by entering the qualified athletes and teams onto the designated NMAA database the Sunday prior to the State Championships (11:59 PM). This system will no longer take entries after this time.
