Then the next best eight (8) from the combined results from all four Region meets are eligible for an at large bid. Declaration of Non-consideration: There may be situation in which an athlete/coach does not want to be considered to receive an at-large bid. The coach must complete the Declaration of Non-Consideration form that will be available at the clerks table and this form must be submitted to the meet referee within 30 minutes of the conclusion of the final event of the meet. If this form is not received within 30 minutes of the official conclusion of the meet, then all athletes receiving at large bids must compete at the state championship. All athletes receiving automatic qualifiers for the state championship must compete. Automatic qualifying athletes are not eligible to complete a Declaration of Non-Consideration.
2. All FHSAA rules will be in effect.
3. The infield will be closed to all. No coaches will be allowed on the infield.
4. Athlete reporting: All calls will be made by class and gender. Tell your athletes to pay attention to the calls. They do not need to start reporting until their class and gender are called. There will be a first call about 30 minutes out, a second call about 20 minutes out and a third and final call about 10 minutes out from the start of the event.
5. Pole Vault: I will have a coachs box set up. To be able to access this, you will check in at the clerks tent to receive your pass. The coach will sign a form at the event stating that your vaulter and their pole meets the requirements of NFHS rule 6-5-3. The only vaulters and coaches allowed on the infield will be the class and gender competing. All others will not be allowed. They will not be allowed to camp out while the others are jumping. They can camp out in their team area.
6. Implement weights and measures: For the throws that will begin at approximately 10:00 AM or sooner, these will be inspected and weighed at 7:30 AM. For the throws that will begin at approximately 11:30 and later these will be done at 10:30. All inspections will be done at the table located behind the timers tent at the start/finish line.
7. All athletes are to sit on the visitors side. The home side will be kept open for spectators. No athletes will be allowed on the infield unless they are participating in an event. Athletes not in compliance will be disqualified. This includes coaches. Head Coaches make sure any assistant coaches you have understand this. Athletes will report ready to compete. The extended weather forecast is good. They do not need to show up in warm ups or tee shirts. They should already have their spikes on. Head Coaches make sure your athletes and assistants know this a head of time. This will be strictly enforced! Warm-ups are to take place behind the visitor stands.
The track surface is rubber. Pyramid Spikes Only. If the athlete does not have the correct spike we will not wait for them to get them changed out.
8. Meet Entry Fee: I am sorry about this. Something that is being driven from the top. This is per gender. $10.00 per athlete up to two (2). If you have three (3) or more athletes competing, then it is a flat $30.00
