In track and field, the UIL increased the number of competitors in each state championship event to nine. Previously, there were eight participants in each event at the state track and field meet in each classification: the top two finishers from each of the four regional meets. The ninth competitor will be selected by the best time or mark that wasn't in the top two in one of the four regions.

Vague on the details... I would assume that is the next best mark achieved _at_ the regional meets?

How will they break ties between different regions?

That's a really good question... obviously it will be a huge issue in the PV and HJ.

Also, do they require a certain height progression at the regional meets? If not, maybe they should if a rule like this is in place.

Vague, but a step in the right direction.
