2008 Rules
Downloading the USATF Rule Book for Rules Review – Private Use Limitation
Under the copyright “Terms of Use” protections imposed by USA Track & Field, we are not permitted to include a copy of the current USATF 2007 Rules for Track and Field and Cross on the CD – 2008 rules are not yet available on the website. However under these terms, you are permitted to download one copy for your personal use. Here is the website you will need to download the current USATF Rules. See:
· http://usatf.org/about/rules/2007/2007USATFRules.pdf
A similar Terms of Use provision applies to the NCAA Rules (2008 Rules now available for your download). To download this document, you will need the free Acrobat PDF Reader software installed on your computer. Copies of the MAC and WINTEL/PC versions are included on the CD. All of the PDF format documents on the CD will require the Reader or Acrobat 6.0 or higher. You may also down load the Acrobat Reader software at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
