Carlos Akers Memorial

Check-In Procedure

We will not make calls for running events and follow a published time schedule. We WILL NOT get ahead of this schedule. We feel this will make it more pleasant for spectators and allow coaches to accurately plan their athletes’ warm-up without the guesswork of a rolling schedule. In order for this to run smoothly, we will need your help to make sure your athletes know how to check in for their events.

· The official time of day will be on the scoreboard clock throughout the meet.

· 20 minutes from the scheduled start of their race, each athlete needs to report to the bib number tent located beside the bleachers near the long jump pit. Athletes may pick up their hib numbers as early as they want, but they MUST pick it up at least 20 min prior. Failure to do so could result in your athlete not getting to run their race.

· No later than 10 minutes from the scheduled start of their race, each athlete must report to the clerk at the start of their event to check in. If they are not there by then they will be scratched.

· We will make calls for all field events due to the various time differences in how long each take to complete.

· For athletes who are in field events and need to leave to for a running event, must pick up their hip numbers prior to their field event. They must check in at the start of their running event 10 minutes before the start like everyone else. At the completion of the running event, they must report back to their field event within 10 minutes.
