Qualification procedure

1.      In all individual events, there will be eight Cascade and eight Northwest entries.  

 

2.      Any athlete who finishes outside the top eight at their Conference meet will qualify to the district meet if they meet the district standards (see attached standards).  The standard is based upon the fourth place average for the previous four years at the District Championships.

 

3.      Each school will be allowed one entry in relays.  Each team will submit their relay entry form to Jason Frederick at the pre-meet coaches meeting on Wednesday, May 14th.  Only those who actually run (in the prelims or finals) will have been considered to have competed in the event. 

 

4.      Each conference is entitled to one alternate in every individual event.  It is the responsibility of the alternate to check in with the clerk of the course or the event judge before the 3rd and final call for the event.  If any qualified contestant has not checked in by the scheduled starting time, then the alternate from that division will be awarded the open spot.

 

5.      According to State Regulations, if a contestant or relay team is disqualified from the Conference meet (in the prelims or finals), then that contestant or relay team will not advance to the District meet.

 

 

Entry process

1.      At the end of each Conference meet, each Conference should have an initial scratch meeting. 

 

2.      On Saturday, May 10th, the meet director from each Conference meet should submit an initial list of non-scratched entries to Jason Frederick & Bruce McDowell.  The meet director will send an exported Hy-tek file to Bruce McDowell at this time.

 

3.      On Saturday, May 10th, as a backup to the exported file, it is requested that each coach use athletic.net to register athletes for the “District 1 2A Championships Day 1” using the results from their Conference Championships.

 

4.      All coaches are to report scratches by 6 pm Monday, May 12th to Jason Frederick & Bruce McDowell via email or fax.

 

5.      After the 6 pm Monday deadline, the eight entries and one alternate for each Conference for each individual event will be confirmed. 

 

6.      According to State Regulations, once the entries to the District meet are confirmed, a contestant must compete in all those events for which the contestant is entered. 

 

7.   A meet program with flight and heat sheets will emailed to all coaches on Tuesday May 13th by 8 a.m.

 

 

Meet Procedure        

  1. National Federation Rules will govern the meet, unless superseded by State Rules. Problems that arise during the meet will be handled by the Meet Manager.  An appeal regarding misapplication of the rules must be submitted within 30 minutes of the alleged infraction.  The appeal must be written and presented by the head coach to the Meet Manager.  The Meet Manager will render a decision.  The decision of the Meet Manager may be appealed to the Games Committee.  Decision of the Games Committee will be final.

 

  1. Calls for the running events will be over the PA system.  “1st Call” will be 15 min. before the start of the event, “Final Call” will be 5 min. before.  By the “Final Call” participants should be in the Marshaling Area.

 

  1. The Marshaling area will be in a tent close to the main start-finish line.

 

  1. Contestants shall wear only school issued uniforms.  Any visible apparel worn under a competitor shorts or singlet must be of one solid color.  A relay team member may wear solid color apparel under their uniform.   If 2 or more team members wear apparel under their uniforms it must be of the same color.  In the Marshaling Area, every attempt will be made to check athletes so that violations are prevented beforehand.  In field events the event judge will check.  However, the athlete and the coaches are ultimately responsible.

 

  1. Contestants will remain in their lane by the solid row of blue triangles upon completion of their race until they are released by the finish line officials.

 

  1. Only 1/4” needles or less are allowed on track and runways.

 

  1. Athletes may warm up on the outside lanes of the backstretch, or in flagged area in center of field.

 

  1. Tape may be used for checkmarks for relay races.  If weather conditions deem necessary, then tennis balls may be used.

 

  1. All coaches, managers and non-competitors must remain in designated viewing areas.  Coaches may only be in the infield if requested to do so by meet management.

 

  1. The finishing area is only for officials.  Please advise athletes to keep behind the roped off area.

  1. If a tie in the high jump and/or pole vault still exists after applying the National Federation tie breaking rules and the tie involves the last qualifying spot to State, the jump-off procedure will be completed BEFORE continuing the competition to determine first place.  If a tie occurs for first place, the tie breaking procedures will be used to break the tie and determine the District champion.

 

  1. If a tie should exist between two or more competitors in a track event and it involves a spot to the State meet, a run-off between the tied competitors will take place at the end of the meet.  If a tie should exist between two or more competitors in a laned event other than 800m, a run-off between the tied competitors will place at the end of the first day or the beginning of the second day.  If a tie should exist between two or more competitors in the 800m, then one of the tied competitors will be stacked behind the fastest qualifier.  A coin flip will be used to determine this situation.    

 

  1. If the tie does not involve a spot to the State meet, a coin flip will be used to determine which medals the competitors receive.
