2. Please do not arrive at Nordonia prior to 2:30 PM on either date of the meet. Early arrivals will not be permitted to enter the school parking lot until school dismissal has been completed.  After dropping off teams at the SOUTH entrance gate to the stadium, all buses need to park at the bus garage parking lot across the street from the high school.
3. Upon arrival, the head coach should pick-up a coach's packet at the finish line trailer.  Each packet will contain heat sheets, relay cards, OHSAA coaches & pole vault verification forms, and Regional Meet information.
4. All tickets are being sold online at $8 per adult and $5 per student, please see the attached ticket information.  All athletes must be in uniform to be admitted for free, no exceptions!
5. Coaches are reminded that all athletes need to be properly equipped and to enforce all sportsmanship regulations.

Track Information:

1. 400 meter, all-weather track. ONLY 1/4" spikes or less will be permitted. Athletes will be checked prior to entering the bullpen area (scoreboard end of stadium). One common finish line is used for all races. Athletes will only be permitted to enter the track at the bullpen and must to exit at the finish line area.
2. The stadium infield MUST remain clear at all times. As a first offense, coaches and athletes found in the infield will be asked to leave the area immediately.  A second offense will result in ejection from the meet.  This policy has been adopted by the OHSAA and will be strictly adhered to.  
3. Pole vault, long and high jump approaches are also all-weather. Only one coach per school will be permitted in these event areas.
4. Shot put and discus areas are outside of the stadium; however, all spectators will be required to purchase an entrance ticket in order to enter these areas. Shot put and discus pads are concrete (no spikes are permitted).
5. Chalk and tennis balls are the only markers to be used on the runways and track.  No tape or other marking devices are permitted.
6. Timing Re-call: Note, by rule, in the event of a malfunction by the timing crew system, the timing crews have the authority to recall a race to prevent runners from the unnecessary task of completing a race and having to re-run the race at a later time. This rule is only in effect with the pre-approval of the Games Committee. Timing crews and/or tournament managers and/or referees (in their pre-meet meeting with coaches) should alert coaches to what device will be used to re-call said race.

Implement Weigh-Ins:

1. The OHSAA no longer provides common implements for competition. In the shot put and discus, all competitors must have their implements verified as legal and then marked as such prior to competition. By rule, illegal implements must be confiscated until after the competition has concluded. A list of all confiscated implements will be forwarded to the Regional Meet manager for verification the following week.  Likewise, all legal implements are held until released to the competitors for warm-ups. Competitors who throw an implement that is incorrect weight or size, will be disqualified from further competition in that event. Meet management does not furnish towels in case of inclement weather. It is the schools responsibility to furnish their own towels.
2. Shotputs and discus will be weighed in on Wednesday and Friday from 2:45-3:15 at the team shop underneath the home bleachers. All verified implements will then be transported to the competition areas.
