Meet Information
I will be using seeds generated by Milesplit based on actual times run. We are past the Indoor "Relay Season" as such. All the top teams have run and have seeds. This will wipe out made up fabricated times.
Remember the purpose of seeds is protect teams that have already competed in the event, seeding is not meant to be used to help teams that have not run get into seeded sections or flights of events!

Entries Close: Midnight, February 2nd
As in recent years you will highlight entries on performance lists in the clerking area. Coaches will need to check their athletes in at the Shot Put, and High Jump venues when called.
Coaches can enter up to 8 athletes per running relay, and 5 athletes per field event relay.
Coaches will be able to fill-in seed times here on Milesplit for this meet. Coaches need to be fair and honest in their seeds for this to work.The relays will be seeded according to the times submitted by Midnight, on February 2nd. THIS PARAGRAPH IS NULL AN VOID!
Seeding will be done via Milesplit!
There will be no changes made to seeds at the meet. The meet file will be out of the hands of John Schwarz and John Tonero on February 2nd, and in the hands of the people at Ocean Breeze. The people at Ocean Breeze are not going to make any changes to the file after that.
Teams can enter the facility at 3:00 pm for warm-ups.

Meet Procedures:
Running Events: Coaches must scratch down to the four athletes competing at the meet in eachrunning event. Performance sheets will be available at the meet and those not competing must be scratched before the events are called for by the clerks for final seeding.. This is the same procedure that has been used in recent years in winter and spring. Relays listed with no names will not be allowed to compete!
Field events: There will be no cards. Performance sheets for the Shot Put will be in the Shot Put area. Your athletes will need to report to the venues when called.
Finally, a last reminder: Coaches will not be able to make changes to their roster, to their eight relay running event names, or to their five field event relay names after February 2nd.. This means that no name changes, or additions will be made at the meet on February 5th, as well! So be careful when doing your entries!
