Provisional qualification standards appear in the NCAA manual

Indoors, there are no provisional marks, just auto - instead of provisional, they'll just go down the TFRRS performance list for each event to fill the fields.

The provisional marks were there simply to make things easier for the intern who had to create the TXT performance lists each week. Now that everyone is loading all results into TFRRS, you no longer need to have a provisional standard.

There's a lot of information out there. For those who consider the NCAA 2011 championship participation manual as the authority:

"The committee will post declaration forms online for all institutions whose student athletes meet automatic or provisional qualifying standards, regardless of position on the descending-order lists, no later than 9 a.m. (Eastern Time), Monday, March 7."

As far as what tffrs.org does relative to participation in the championship, according to the NCAA manual,

"As of the 2010 championship season, TFRRS replaced the proof of performance (POP) process. Only the official electronically-reported meet results as submitted by the meet host in TFRRS will serve as proof of performance for all NCAA Division I track and field times and marks. The former POP forms have been eliminated, and coaches are no longer be required to submit verification of qualifying performances. Season-best descending order lists by event, as approved by the NCAA Division I track and field committee, will be made available on a real-time basis at
