General Meet Information/Regulations for Waccamaw High School

Warm-up Area/Infield/Competing Area Regulations:

The warm-up area for athletes will NOT be on the infield. The designated warm-up areas will be outside of the track by the 300 start mark toward the softball field.

Tents are allowed in the visitor stands and in the surrounding grass areas NOT the home stands.

We are trying to keep the infield area as clear as possible. Please do not allow your athletes to congregate in any area outside of your team area, especially the infield. Only competing athletes will be permitted on the infield and those athletes who are "on deck" to compete should be in the infield. For example: athletes running the 4x400 relay should be staying loose and getting lined up in the infield while the boy's 3200 meter run is going on.

Athletes must get a hip number by the scoreboard, behind the 110 hurdles start and report for running events ready to run. Numbers go on the hip and on the hip and shoulder for races 800 and over. Throwing event athletes

should bring their own implements.

We will use a rolling schedule. Once we start running events, we will be on a rolling schedule with no breaks, so make sure your athletes know when they are up to run so they can warm up, get their hip numbers, and be

at the starting line of their races. Field event athletes will check in at their events also. We will have concessions.

Timing: Network Timing, LLC  will time and record the events. They will provide live results. They will also be on SCRunners.com.

Entries: You are allowed to enter 4 per event in all events & only 1 relay team per relay event.

Entries close on May 1st at noon. Athletes can do no more than 4 events. Examples of this rule is below (4 individual events & no relays) (2 individual events & 3 relays however, after the athlete participates in 2 relays they cannot participate in the 3rd relay). You can list up to 8 athletes per relay including alternates. No additions or substitutions will be allowed at the meet. We will not do any substitutions on the day of the meet only scratches. (This saves a lot of headaches for you).

Relay Cards: You must turn in relay cards for each of your relays that have your athletes listed with legible handwriting.

Rules and Regulations:

1. Remind your athletes that we will follow all high school league rules and guidelines.

We will do our best to do preventive officiating: Athletes may wear jewelry but may not have any hair accessories that have hard parts. This includes beads. Athletes must be in a school issued track uniform.

2. Athletes competing in multiple events that are occurring at the same time must report

back to each event every 10 minutes to avoid being scratched. We will not hold up an event to wait for one athlete.

3. Each team will need to have at least 2 representatives to help with the field events. The jury of appeals will consist of the one coach from each school.

Thank you
