In defense of the PA web guys they have been getting the results up pretty quickly once they get them. I know that when I helped with the results for a PA XC race last year they posted the results almost as soon as we sent them in, which was in the afternoon of the race. When the results are delayed it is usually because of a team challanging the results or a delay caused by the race organization. And remember, these people are all volunteers.
This is from the PAUSATF website:
Q12. I do not live within the boundaries of the Pacific Association. Can I become a PA/USATF member and compete in PA/USATF Grand Prix events?
A12. An exception to a PA residency requirement is allowed if the Pacific Association and the USATF Association where the athlete resides mutually agree to allow the athlete to be a member of PA/USATF and compete in PA/USATF championship/Grand Prix competition as a member of a PA/USATF club or unattached. Under no circumstances will a club or member enrolled with a non-Pacific association be allowed to score in PA/USATF Grand Prix competition.
So it looks like as long as you're cleared by you home USATF association and the PAUSATF office, you're allowed to live outside of the PAUSATF boundaries and compete in the grand prix and championships.
Was it just me but were the numbers way-y-y-y down this year. Seemed like the men's field was very very small.
i do not usually do this wrote:
No they are not. This is normal for PA-USATF. They'll have results up by March or so.
No, they have been pretty good about getting results in within a day or two...The PA is one of the best, if not the best, association for distance runners. There is a Grand Prix cross country circuit with money, for God sakes...and road races, track, a updated website, a magazine (now you can complain about timeliness).
Yes, the numbers were down from last year, but that's because last year they were way-y-y-y up because the Nationals were going to be on the same course a few weeks later.
