The Viti League is a T'vaqi track running association. The League is the largest sporting association in T'vaqi and is responsible for the organization of most of the country's professional track competitions. The League's founder, Pravna Inqhio, is credited with having created the standard T'vaqi running track.

Track design

The standard Viti League track (and by extension the national standard track) features a flat ring of track bisected by a straightaway. The ring has five lanes and measures 100π (562.97 m) in circumference in the innermost lane. The outer diameter of the ring is 112.05 (200.78 m) and the ring's inner diameter (also the length of the straightaway) is 100 (179.2 m).

Events

Viti League races operate on a fixed time, rather than a fixed distance. Races are competitions to see which runner can cover the most distance in a certain amount of time.

Standard race lengths are based on Unilateral Unit System units for time. Typical race lengths, from shortest to longest, are as follows:

Hosqov (8.64s)
Sohosqov (17.28s)
Sqov (1m 26.4s)
Pasqov (5m 45.6s)
Hoshav (14m 24s)
Shoshav (1h 12m)
Shav (2h 24m)

The hosqov and sohosqov are conducted on the straightaway, while all longer races are done on the main circle.

Within the track's two semicircles are four seating sections. The seats closer to the outer ring ("distance seats") are angled outward, while the seats closer to the straightaway ("sprint seats") face inward. This makes it impossible to view all sections of the track at once, and audience members are generally forced to pay for seats that afford them the best view of their favorite event. The most expensive seats are those near the corners of the bleachers, as they afford the widest view of the inner and outer stadium. Often, special guests such as politicians are given ground-level swivel chairs next to the straightaway, which afford the most complete view of the track from within. These seats are not available for purchase and are reserved for referees unless a special guest is in attendance.
