Meet Administration: We will be using FAT timing courtesy of Run Roanoke LLC. As a backup, all athletes will be given a finish card in the chute and all athletes will be wearing a tear-off ribbon that will be collected at the end of the chute. Please instruct athletes to pin only the instructed area and not the tear-off. Coaches will collect all athletes' finish chute cards after they clear the chute and put the athletes' name on the chute card, and place those in a supplied envelope for a quick score. Those will be turned in to the scorer's table as soon as all of
your athletes have finished.
