The 91st Annual ICAAAA Indoor Track and Field Championship will be conducted under the auspices of the ECAC at the Boston University Track and Field Pavilion in Boston, MA beginning on Saturday, March 3rd and continuing through Sunday, March 4th.
Please read the following carefully as there are many IMPORTANT changes from past years. You will be responsible for following ALL these changes. We feel they will make life easier for all concerned.
INITIAL ENTRY PROCEDURE: There is no Initial Entry Procedure this year as we will be using Direct Athletics. See the instructions below for ALL entry information.
VERIFICATION OF PERFORMANCES:
1. Performances will be verified on Direct Athletics.
2. Direct Athletics will use the NCAA rule for performance adjustments according to facility of all NCAA-recognized events.
3. All non-NCAA events (500m, 1000m, and 4x800m Relay) will be adjusted based on formulas approved by the coaches.
FINAL DECLARATION PROCEDURE:
1. All declarations will be done through Direct Athletics. Teams must be current members of the IC4A and ECAC in order to compete.
2. If your team is a member in good standing and is NOT on the team list on Direct Athletics, please contact Rick Berryman.
3. Declarations on Direct athletics will begin on Wednesday - February 1st.
4. Your FINAL declarations MUST be submitted on Direct Athletics no later than 5:00 PM on Tuesday - February 28th.
5. LATE FEES - Teams wishing to declare entries after 5:00 PM on February 28th will be considered LATE and a late fee of $ 50.00 per declaration will be required until Wednesday - February 29th at 5:00 PM.
6. The IC4A will accept "late individual declarations" after 5:00 PM Tuesday - February 28th but no later than one (1) hour before the first event on Saturday - March 3rd. Each "late individual declaration" petition must be accompanied by a late declaration fee of $ 250.00.
CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS & WAIVER OF STANDARD:
1. The IC4A will continue the practice of allowing athletes that are Conference Champions to compete in the IC4A Championships even if they have not made the
Qualifying Standard.
2. In the case of Conference Champion, you may designate only one (1) conference for the waiver. This is NOT in addition to the "Waiver of Standard" rule.
3. The Heptathlon does not come under this rule.
4. The IC4A will also continue the practice of allowing athletes from schools that do not have qualifiers in either the running events, relays or field events to compete.
5. They may enter one (1) running event athlete/relay and (1) Field event athlete.
6. If you have qualifiers in the “track events” and not the field events, you may enter (1) field event qualifier and vice versa.
7. In other words, we are just continuing to follow the practice established several years ago.
8. "Conference Champions" and "Waiver of Standard" entries cannot be done on Direct Athletics - email before 5:00 PM on Monday - February 27th by clicking on the links:
Conference Champion Waiver of Standard
HEPTATHLON ENTRIES AND DECLARATIONS:
1. Each school must submit an “Intent to Compete” via e-mail to Intent to Compete no later than Friday, February 24th by 5:00 pm.
2. If you do not submit this email, we will assume that you do not intend to compete.

4. Athletes may still qualify until 5:00 PM Monday - February 27th.
5. The results/updates must be emailed to Heptathlon Score Update by 5:00 PM February 27th.

IC4A ENTRY FEES:
1. Each school will be billed a $50.00 school entry fee.
2. Each school will be billed $ 20.00 per individual and relay declaration.

ECAC

6. Make sure that your institution name and the event title/date are listed on the check.
REMINDER: Submission of the Final Entries is considered a statement of intent to participate and automatically triggers the $ 50.00 team entry fee. Similarly, any declared entry (individual event or relay) automatically triggers the appropriate entry fee. An institution that elects NOT to participate in the Championship after entering is NOT excused from paying the entry fee.
