LLL League Cross Country Rules

B. Cross Country – Boys and Girls
1. The length of the course shall be approximately 5000 meters.
2. It is recommended when possible, the course should be on a soft surface and where possible public roads should not be used. All schools should be sent a map of the course
prior to the beginning of each meet. In situations where public roads must be used, the home school should position someone with an appropriate signaling device (flag, marker, sign)
to wave to passing motorists.
3. The visiting teams should arrive and be ready for their walk through of the course by 3:00 PM.
4. The familiarization of the course (walk through) should begin promptly at 3:00 PM. If a school is not present, the late team will be responsible for their own familiarization
of the course but still be ready for the start of the meet.
5. Start times for Jr High boys and girls races will be 4:15. High School races will begin at 4:45 and 5:15. High School girls will run first in odd years and boys first in even years.
6. In dual meets, the starting line should provide space for 8 runners from each team to start abreast. In triangular meets, space should be provided for 5 runners from each team.
Box starts shall be used for meets larger than triangular unless otherwise agreed upon by the teams.
7. Varsity runners are to be designated prior to races unless otherwise agreed upon between the competing schools (according to NFHS rules).
8. Girls, Boys and Junior High teams will have identical schedules when schools have all three teams. The schedule will have each school meeting every other school once throughout the season.
9. Scoring: First place shall score one (1) point, second place two (2) points, third place three (3) points, fourth place four (4) points and so on. Only the top five (5) runners from
each team will have their score counted for their team score. If less than five runners from one team finish, the places of all members of that team shall be disregarded. For scoring,
the runners will be displaced to the eighth runner. Ties are to be broken with the best 6th runner. If neither team has a sixth runner then the best fourth runner will break the tie.
10. Courses are to be properly marked. The host school will be responsible for timing and scoring. Assigned PIAA officials will be responsible for starting the race and finish line judging.
