Dani Jones at 4:06.04 (and several at 4:10) not accepted into 1500 at this point.
That is because they declared and action needed to be taken by USATF regarding their entry. This could change if the number of qualified athletes who declare does not meet the full field size (including Jones who has the fastest non q at this point).

thanks, what would prompt action needing to be taken on some, but not many entries?
If true that we can only take one wild card into Worlds (2019 World Champions/2021 Diamond League Champs), then how is that decision made? The 'conflicts' I see are the 100, 200, 110H, and Shot with Coleman/Kerley, Lyles/Bednarek, Holloway/Allen, and Kovacs/Crouser.

The athletes who have no action taken have yet to declare.

USATF has consistently gone with defending WC.
All of the athletes named are in form and competing. Most likely they will all be in the top 4, and thus it will be a non-factor. Otherwise, yes, the WC gets the bid over DL winner.

Why? Consistently as that is their criteria or rule? Seems odd we would reward the 3 year old performance over one just run last year.
page 2 has the specifics, but they leave it open: "if 2 athletes from the same country qualify for a WC, only one of the two can be entered with this WC."

So up to the fed, and the USATF has gone WC
I guess my point is, does USATF have a rule in place that states the WC (in this case, from 3 years ago) gets the bye and not the DL winner (from 1 year ago)? Or do they just "go" with the WC (always, consistently, usually?). So if Crouser craps the bed next week in Eugene and gets 3rd while Kovacs places 4th, 5th,...USATF takes Kovacs over Crouser.

They leave it open but have always gone with the WC. The reason is simple. If it changed every year, you'd have athletes complaining about it. Normally, the longest period of time between WC is 2 years. However, this (hopefully) one time occurance shouldn't result in changing how they do it.
As to your shot put example...any country with a bye athlete can enter up to 4 entries.....so Kovacs is not replacing anyone.

(Then why not make it a formal rule & cover your asses USATF!). Thx for the reply. Not sure why, but I thought we only sent Top 2 from U.S. Champs (plus a bye where applicable). If Micah Williams, Bromell and Knighton (who all have WC standard) were to go 1,2,3 in M 100 with Kerely 4th, Coleman 5th then Kerely goes of course, yes??
