POINTS: There are 6 places in the championships. Points are listed on top of each column on score sheets.

CHAMPIONSHIP RULES: Copy is in the packet.

BOOKLETS: Booklet contains all lane assignments and All-Time Records. If any athlete breaks an all-time record, this should be noted on the Medalist Sheet to be announced at the Award Ceremony.

ALL RELAYS: 2 heats – winners are determined by best times after both heats are completed. Runners will report winners to scorer’s table after both heats are completed in each age division.

RUNNERS SHEETS FOR RELAYS: Mile is recorded on the Relay Runner sheet. Boys Runner will report Co-Ed races.

SPRINTS: 3 heats in preliminary races: 2 fastest runners from each heat/age division will line up behind scorer’s table to compete in the finals.

RUNNERS SHEETS FOR SPRINTS: 3 sheets: First two are for heat placement for finals – one girls and one boy. Finish line runners have these sheets and will walk the 2 finalists to the person lining up finalists behind scorer’s table.

Third sheet is for person ling up finalists behind scorer’s table. This person records the finalists from each race on the top of the sheet. When all 3 heats are completed in each age division, they are transferred to the bottom of the sheet in the proper lane by fastest time: fastest in Lane 4, 2^nd fastest in lane 3, etc. Lane placements are listed on the sheet.

Runners will report final winners to the scorer’s table after each age division has completed the final race.

MVP: There are extra MVP sheets in the packet for coaches who don’t have one. Remind coaches before meet to have the MVP sheet turned in as soon as possible after all events are completed. Also remind coaches to let the athletes know that relays and sprints are scored by heats, and coming in 3^rd or 4^th in their heat does not mean they get a ribbon.

MEDALIST SHEET: Print all names of first place winners as clearly as possible. This sheet gets scanned for the website. Use this sheet to report winners at award ceremony for medals and trophies.

FIELD EVENTS: Remind volunteers to fill in the winners on the bottom of each field sheet before reporting to the scorer’s table.

TIES: There should be no ties. For jumps, the tiebreaker is the next best jump for the 2 athletes in question. For throws, it would be rare for two athletes to throw the exact same distance. Make sure that volunteers are aware of this. For races, the finish line judge will determine the winner.

AWARD CEREMONY: Two sheets are given to announcer. Meet Total and Relay Sheet for team scores and Medalist Sheet for individual medalists and MVP.
