*In the situation where confliction of events occurs with the entries of an athlete, running events will take precedence over field events. Every reasonable attempt will be made to allow athletes to be able to participate due to the distance they must travel between the running/jumping and throwing areas, however running events will run on time, no delays. If an athlete will be participating in a both running/jumping & throwing event, arrangements can be made for them to take all of their throws/jumps out of order in order to make the running events. 

Weigh Ins: Will be held outside the locker rooms. All implements must be marked before they can be thrown in competition. Any implements not making weigh-ins will be confiscated and may be picked up after the completion of the event.
