2020 USATF New England Indoor Points Chase

The USATF-NE Points Chase is back for 2019-2020!

Athletes compete during the indoor season with their performances earning points from the IAAF scoring tables - these tables allow comparisons across all event disciplines. Competitors' top 4 scores duing the season through the March 15 are totaled for final placings.  Athletes competing in the USATF-NE meet earn bonus points. 

The top 5 scoring open athletes - male and female combined - will earn cash awards.
The top 3 Masters - totaling their top 3 age graded percentages - will also win a cash award. 
Allevents are included.

Athletes submit their performances and USATF-NE does the scoring. Weekly scoring updates will be published.
