Flight Score: unique variation of traditional cross country; a rarely used, but distinctive format very appealing to coaches, runners, and fans. Single numbered runner from each team competes head-to-head with the same numbered runners from the other teams, i.e., all of the number seven runners from each team start at the same time in one flight, then all the number six runners depart in a second flight a few minutes later, then the number fives, fours, threes, twos, and ones

Scoring: per finish in each flight, first in ones flight equals one point, etc. Exciting aspect is race-by-race scoring updates during the action - shows ebb and flow, and what is needed to win!

Course: on historic Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio. Accurately measured 3200 meter nearly flat grass course with minor obstacles. Split signs, well marked and marshaled. Fan friendly

Divisions: three high school divisions to optimally match runners abilities (all races 3200m). We highly encourage you to place the majority of your runners in flight races, Divs A and B, and restrict individual entries in Div C, which is not flight format, no team scoring.
Requirement - place your runners according to their current ability per following guidelines:

Division A - varsity level; seven (7) flight races - seven runners per team, one runner races per flight. Approx ability for 3200m: Girls < 11:00 to 14:30 // Boys < 9:00 to 12:15. You may enter one or two A teams per gender per school (team 1, team 2). Minimum six runners/team*

Division B - junior varsity level; five (5) flight races - five runners per team, one runner races per flight. Approx ability for 3200m: Girls 14:30 to 17:00 // Boys 12:15 to 14:45. You may enter multiple B teams per gender per school (team 1, team 2, etc.). Min four runners/team*

*Best to enter full flight teams; teams with only six (A) or four (B) will score maximum points in the flight without a runner, i.e., score will be one point greater than last finishing runner.

Division C - novice level; standard format (not flight races), individuals only, no team scoring, please limit C entries. Approx ability for 3200m: Girls > 17:15 // Boys > 15:00
