A – While the invitational meets subscribe to and follow the CYO Track Rules for their meet, they are not restricted to just CYO Team participants. The decision to allow or not allow non-CYO teams to compete in an invitational meet is the responsibility of the meet director for each invitational meet. Some reasons for allowing non-CYO teams to participate in invitational meets are Christian friendliness, the promotion of community, the increased level of competition that some of the non-CYO teams bring to a meet, and the increased revenues that the addition of non-CYO teams afford a meet. Beginning with the 2010 Season, liability release forms will be required of all Non-CYO Teams before the non-CYO team is permitted to participate in any portion of the season.
