The IAAF will allow 2 "A's" and one "B" standard to make up a country's 3, just as in 2007.

Which means that the acceptable configurations will be (ignoring wild-card possibilities) five:

A
B
AB
AAB
AA
AAA

I was under the impression that the ABBA option means that the winner takes it all, and the problem with this option is that it would be a Waterloo for all competitors other than the winner. :roll:

The USATF could just take a chance on the top three.
