Team Scoring

athletes; teams may declare a maximum of eight athletes on their roster.
All unattached runners, members of incomplete or ineligible teams, and
runners not declared as scoring team members will be removed from the
order of finish for purposes of team scoring.
The aggregate places of each team's first four finishers will determine
a team's score, with the fifth and sixth finishers displacing.
The team with the lowest score will be the winning team.
Ties in scoring will be resolved by determining which team's fourth runner
finished nearest to first place.
Masters
National Clubs (teams with members who reside in more than one USATF
Association) will not be scored.
Team divisions are in 10-year increments.
Men's 40+ and 50+ will score five members; men's teams 60+, 70+, and all
women's teams will score three members; all teams may declare a maximum
of eight athletes.
The aggregate time of each team's scoring members will determine a team's
score.
The team with the lowest time will be the winning team.
Ties in scoring will be resolved by determining which team's last scoring
runner finished nearest to first place. (If a tie still exists, the next-to-last
scoring members are compared in the same way.)
A runner may compete in a younger age division as a team member and still
compete as an individual in his/her true age division
