III. ADMISSION $7 for all spectators

IV. PASSES VHSCA-VHSL-VIAAA-VATA-VSBA-Principal state
membership cards.

V. OFFICIALS Key Officials (referee, starter, finish line, FAT) will be VHSL certified officials. I will assign various teams to run off the field events and to be turn umpires. The head field judges for each field event and the turn judges will be paid. The meet directors of the 4 conference meets that have indoor track and the starter will act as the jury of appeals. If an appeal involves a team associated with a member of the jury of appeals, a substitute from the same conference will be assigned.

VI. QUALIFIERS (1) Top 5 places in district individual events and top 2 relay
teams in conference meet
(2) Any other athlete or relay team who has met regional/state standards in a 3 or more team meet and who is listed on milestat.
(3) If an athlete or relay team has met a regional/state standard not in a meet listed on milestat, the coach must email or fax (434-522-3793) the meet results to Rod Camden (meet director) no later than 1 day after the conference meet. Remember you may use the best time of the season in a 3 or more team meet (as long as it is on milestat) for your entry even if it is not a regional qualifying time.

VII. SCORING AND AWARDS (boys & girls): 2 Team Trophies (Championship and Runner-Up)
Medals (first six places in individual events and first six relay teams)
Coaches should pick up medals packet prior to leaving the meet. Again this year we will be scoring 8 places (10-8-7-6-4-3-2-1) in each event .

VIII. HOSPITALITY ROOM Discount at concession stand will be provided for
officials and a maximum of 3 coaches from each team.

IX. ENTRIES You will be entering the meet twice, once on the VHSL
regional entry form and again on milestat.
Both entries are due by 8pm on Monday, February
15, 2016. On the VHSL form you must state the meet and
the date of each performance. Milestat entries will open on February 1, 2016. VHSL entry forms must be
faxed (434-522-3793) or emailed to Rod Camden.
Remember to include names of potential relay runners
who are not in an individual event.
MILESTAT ENTRIES ARE FINAL AND MUST MEET THE 3 EVENT RUNNING EVENT RULE. RELAY TEAM MEMBERS ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL THE RELAY CARD IS TURNED IN TO THE CLERK. SINCE THIS IS A ONE DAY MEET ANY ATHLETE ENTERED IN THE 3200 RUN IS ONLY ALLOWED ONE MORE RUNNING EVENT.
Email is preferred over faxing if possible. Please email VHSL entries to camdenrc@lcsedu.net. Coaches will be emailed a VHSL regional entry form at least a week before the meet or coaches may use the indoor track regional entry form at vhsl.org. Remember all performances should be verified on the VHSL form.
You will also be entering on milestat and the milestat entries will be uploaded into the regional meet. If there is a conflict with the milestat and VHSL entries that cannot be resolved, the VHSL entry will override the milestat performance (I will attempt to contact the coach first). Early VHSL entries will be most appreciated!

X. SCRATCHES Email early scratches (no penalty) to camdenrc@lcsedu.net entry deadline but before noon on Wednesday Feb.17, 2016(so the meet can be properly seeded for the program and events reseeded). After this time scratches will be taken at the coaches meeting without penalty. No additions will be allowed after the Feb 15 milestat and VHSL form deadline.

XI. TEAM FOOD Absolutely no food or drinks will be allowed on or
