1A/3A State Qualifier: As soon as possible after your region meet (within 24 hours), send the Hy-Tek backup file to cwhite@g.oconee.k12.sc.us. To get backup, go to file and backup. Save where you can find it and attach it to the email. Send the entire file, not the qualifiers. When you email your backup, please give me a cell phone number where I can reach you if I have a question. Keep all of your meet sheets near in case we have questions.

·         Make sure to check for athletes that are entered in too many events before your meet especially with the relay rule.

·         Make sure that you clerk each relay by getting the name of each athlete that is planning to run. 

·         After each relay, go into Hy-Tek relay menu and move the 4 athletes that ran into the top 4 places and the alternates into positions 5 and 6. You must do this for all the teams that ran, not just the ones that qualify.

·         If a relay team is disqualified for some reason, make sure that you DQ in results and shown in the relay menu the 4 athletes that were on the track as well as the alternates in places 5 and 6. 

·         Please delete any athlete that is no longer eligible as an alternate for a relay at the qualifier because he/she entered/competed in 4 events.
