Entry Procedure:


We
will be using milesplit to enter this meet. 
Please login to the milesplit website at: http://pa.milesplit.com/meets/295669/

If you don't have a
login for milesplit, click on the register button at the top to set up an
account.
  You may enter up to 10 athletes
per event into milesplit.
  It is much
easier for meet management to delete names from the events than it is to
enter names, so if you are not sure who is going to enter in a particular
event, please list all possible athletes up to 10.
  Please enter all running, jumping and
throwing events for all relays and open events on milesplit.
  We will still use cards for the High Jump,
Shot Put & Pole Vault along with the milesplit entry.
  Please pick up those event cards upon
arrival.


Limit of 1 relay team for all relay
events.
  (Scoring 10-8-6-4-2-1)


Limit of 5 contestants per open
events.

(Non-Scoring)


        
There is NO OPEN event for the pole vault, however
if a school only has 1 vaulter, we will let them compete as a non-scoring competitor.  Maximum vaulters per school is 2.


        
Competitors may enter in both relay events &
open events with no restrictions provided the contestant does not violate the
National Federation Participation Rule.


 


Seeding
Procedure:


Please
enter all seed times into mile split. 
We will not use verified times, nor will we be protecting any seeded
heats.  We are asking that coaches
please use good sound judgment when entering seed times.  It only disrupts the integrity of the meet
as well as embarrasses the athletes. 
We are asking all coaches to please put down seed times that your relay
team and or athlete can attain at this meet. 
      


 


Confirmation
Procedure (day of the meet):


When
you arrive at Lehigh please report to the check in table ASAP to scratch or
add athletes.  If you are adding relays
teams after milesplit has closed, the added relay team will be placed in the
last heat or equal to the slowest seed time. We will collect all scratch
sheets at approximately 9:30am.  All
changes after the start of the meet will be made at the timers table.
