RULES OF COMPETITION:
1. Only the top 2 finishers for each team will score, but all athletes are eligible for awards. Team scoring is 10-8-6-4-2-1.
2. Long/triple jumpers will receive 4 attempts and throwers will receive 4 throws.
3. We will follow a rolling event schedule that is subject to change if weather conditions dictate.
4. Athletes will receive competitor numbers, which should be written on the back of their right hand. Any athlete who competes without a competitor number or with an incorrect competitor number is subject to disqualification (as per NFHS rules).
5. The Distance Medley, 800 meter run and 1600 meter run will utilize a waterfall start. The 4 x 400 meter relay will be conducted with a two-turn stagger (i.e. the first leg of the 4 x 400 will be run in lanes and athletes will break after the first exchange).
6. All races with multiple section finals will be seeded as slowest to fastest. Although not required, coaches are strongly encouraged to provide entry performance marks for their athletes when submitting entries. Athletes entered without performance marks will be placed in slower sections. As stated above, coaches should be prepared to provide evidence of performance for any athlete seeded into the fast/final section of the 1600 meter run.
7. Coaches should report any scratches as soon as possible before an event begins. On the day of the meet, we will not add athletes to any event, but coaches may substitute one athlete for another athlete, if both athletes have already been assigned a competitor number.
8. Meet records can only be set in an event final.
