  • No more than 50% of a division at a specific event can qualify (e.g. if a division has only ten competitors, only the top five athletes are deemed qualified, even if the criteria state that the top ten qualify).
  • In the event of an odd number of finishers, the qualifying criteria is rounded up in favor of the athlete.
  • Instances where a division has only one competitor will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
