POINTS OF INFORMATION
1. The meets will begin as scheduled so plan to arrive ahead of time. All track events will begin with the oldest age group. Boys’ races will precede girls’ races.
2. Send 400m, 1500m and first field event competitors ahead of the main bus group.
3. All track and field events at the divisional level will be run as finals with the exception of the relay races which will have heats and finals on the same day.
4. Sections “A” and “B” will run their events consecutively (i.e. Section “A” Girls 13 years
and over 100m race will be followed by Section “B” Girls 13 years and over 100m race,
etc…)
5. Sections “A”, and “B” will combine for the 800 m, 1500 m and all field events (refer to the section on Qualifiers for Regional Meets on Track and Field Groupings page). Sections “A”and “B” will be scored separately at the conclusion of the events for the purpose of determining pennant points.
6. Students should be aware of their sections (“A” or “B”) as this will facilitate the running of the meet.
7. Only one competitor per school is permitted in each event at the given age group excluding the relays.
8. A single athlete may compete in any four events, but no more than three track events including one relay event. Athletes may enter an event in an age group above their chronological age, but not below. An athlete may enter the same event only once (i.e. cannot enter two relay races). If an athlete is entered in more than the permitted number of events, he/she will be disqualified from competition. Please choose events carefully for your athletes. Athletes will run heats and finals for the Regional Championship Meet.
9. All ages for track and field are based on the year of birth. Use current grade to determine the event to enter.

Sweatshirts will be permitted in the case of inclement weather or at field events. Officials have the right to send students back to the stands to borrow proper equipment. Elimination from participation will occur if equipment is deemed unsafe by an official. Also, runners cannot use assistants at the starting line.
Note: Although the Ontario Safety Guidelines may allow use of spikes, TCSAA presently does not allow spikes for any event. For safety reasons, track shoes with spikes removed cannot be used.
**START LINE MARSHALS WILL BE CHECKING SHOES AND SHIRTS BEFORE EACH RACE BEGINS.

Please ensure that the signed media consent form is on file at school for all students.
13. During competition, only the participants competing may be on the track or in the infield
area.
14. Lane Assignments
To facilitate marshalling, lanes have been designated on a rotational basis. Participants should be informed of their lane assignment prior to departing for the marshalling area.

Competitors will be called at least twice. Events will be run on the assumption that there is no competitor after the final call. Individual schools will not be called for missing competitors.
19. Officials’ duties will be forwarded at a later date. Note: Officials who cannot fulfil duties are required to find a suitable replacement.
20. Student – volunteers should arrive ahead of the other schools so the meet begins on time.
21. The washrooms must be supervised. Please note the washroom schedule when preparing
your supervision duty.
22. Substitutions
a) Once a school team has competed in the preliminary rounds of an event, the composition of the team may not be altered for the finals. Only qualifiers from divisional meets may compete at the regional meet. Only qualifiers from the regional meet may compete at the city meet.
b) The only exception to rule (a) is a relay team for which composition may change due to injury or illness. All substitutions must be cleared by the Meet Convenor.
c) If after a trial heat in the relay, one of the original competitors is injured or ill and unable to compete, a substitution will be permitted provided that the substitute has not and will not compete on another relay team.
