are conducted on a schedule. Venues are open for warm up and trials during
scheduled times only. Check in window starts with warm up start and ends with
scheduled start of competition. Athletes not checked in at the scheduled
start time will be scratched. Vertical
jumps (HJ and PV) have absolute priority. In the event that an athlete has a conflict,
the athlete checks in with the head official of the vertical jump event and
the athlete's coach is responsible to check the athlete in on time with the
other field event head official. Once the athlete is eliminated in the
vertical jump event he/she has 5 minutes to report to the other field event,
where he/she will be given at least 3 warm up trials and worked into to the
competition rotation at the discretion of the head official. Any
potential conflict between High Jump and Pole Vault will be handled and
resolved through coordination between the head officials with the objective
to provide the athlete the best possible conditions while upholding the fairness
of the competition. The two head officials have full discretion on how to
handle the specific situation and their instructions are not appealable and
final. |
| Number of attempts: | 4 attempts for Long Jump, Discus and Shot Put. No finals |

foot board and Junior High School the 3 foot board. However if an athlete wishes
