1. Rules/Instructions
If an athlete received a DNS (Did Not Start/Show) at the District Meet, they are disqualified from the Regional & State Meet. This includes relays.
Athletes must participate in all individual events where they have qualified. If they miss an individual event, they will be disqualified from all remaining events in regionals and state.
If they qualified for an individual event for the Regional Meet, they must take a legal start or an attempt in the field event to remain eligible. That event would still count toward their 4 event maximum per meet.
Athletes are only allowed to compete in 4 events. You may not substitute an athlete that is entered into 4 individual events out of an individual event to add them into a relay.
Relay personal may be changed between the district and regional meet. The pool of 8runners may not change throughout the state series. Once relay personal report to the Clerk of the Course for a race, no change in personal for that race is permissible.
Seeding at Region is done by performance only. No preference is given to DistrictChampions.
All races will be run as finals only and all events are seeded slow to fast/short to far.The 4x800m Relay, 800m, 1600m and 3200m will be run in one heat.The 4x400m Relay will be run in two heats with the faster heat going 2nd.
Contestants in excess of the number of places to be awarded who are lapped will be permitted to finish the race, but must move to the outer lanes of the track (lane 3 or beyond).
Coaches boxes will be established near each field event competition area. Athletes not competing must remain outside of the competition area. Once the field events are concluded, coaches will have to leave the infield.
Athletes will be given a maximum of 3 throws or jumps in the warm-ups. We will be using one pole vault pit, one high jump pit, one shot put ring, one discus ring, one javelin runway and one long jump/triple jump pit.
In the long jump, triple jump, discus, shot put and javelin, all athletes will get four attempts in the competition.
In the pole vault and high jump, if there is a tie for 2nd place, a jump off will take place at the conclusion of the event.
If you check out of a field event to go to another event, you MUST take an attempt before being allowed to check out again. Athletes will be given a 12 minute time limit that begins when the athlete checks out with the official.
