A. Entries are determined by ranking the best performances (i.e.times & distances) in a particular event during the course of the League Meets. The top 8 performances in each event (The top 12 in the 1500m ,1500m Racewalk, Steeplechase and 3000m) qualify for the Lower Islands
Relays qualify on May 4- Relay Registration forms must be submitted to Keith Butler by April 27. Qualification races will only take place if needed on May 4-

Since some athletes will qualify in more than three individual events, and some schools will have more than three athletes that qualify for a particular event, Athletes ranked from 9th (or 13th) may also be moved into the Final.

The exact (final) list of entries for the Lower Island Finals will be determined at the Entries Meeting on Monday May 7, at Lambrick Park, 5:30 pm and will include a dinner for coaches.

If a coach is absent for this meeting, and one of the school’s athlete qualifies for more than the maximum number of events, Meet Directors shall make a final decision about which events the athlete will be entered into.

TIES: When a tie for the last qualifying position occurs, the tie is broken using each tied athlete’s second best time or distance in that event during a League meet. If one of the tied athletes has only 1 qualifying result, the tie will not be broken, the number of finalists will be increased by one.

B. An athlete may enter their appropriate age division , plus the open events (400 m hurdles, steeplechase, hammer)
Athletes may be entered in the Lower Islands in no more than three individual events (including open events) + 2 relays . Those who compete in the 3000m Finals, Hammer, & Pole Vault, which take place before the Entries Meeting, must be aware that this will count as one of their events.

C. An athlete may not be on both an “A” and “B” relay team in the same event.
D. A school is limited to three entries in the Final of individual events.
E. A school is limited TWO entries in each of the boys’ & girls’ 4×400 & 4×100 relay events.

5. Lane Assignment and Order of Competition for Lower Island Finals:
The lane assignments in each track event and the order of competition in each field event are according to the rankings in a particular event as determined by the best performance by each athlete at the League Meets.

6. Substitutions and Scratches

A. No substitutions are permitted in the Finals, except in relays where it is permitted providing: (a) the regular member is medically unable to compete, (b) proper notification is made to the Meet Referee prior to the event, and (c) the substitute has not already competed on another relay team in the same event. If no substitute is available, the relay team will not be given any place or points.

B. The substitute must be an athlete who has competed in Finals or at least a league Meet
C. Athletes unable to compete in a Final for medical reasons will not be given any place or points in individual events.
NOTE: Athletes must compete in all events in which they qualify for and are entered in the Final. An athlete who fails to show for an event, including relays, will be disqualified from further competition, including relays.

7. Reporting to Events

A. It is the competitor’s responsibility to know when and where his event is taking place. Events will be called on the public address system but a competitor’s name will not be called.

B. If a competitor is competing in a field event and a track event is scheduled at the same time, the competitor must report to the field event judge first, explain that he is in a track event, and then report to the track event immediately. Upon completion of the track event, the competitor must return to the field event without delay and must immediately inform the person in charge of the event that he has returned. Failure to report to one of the judges may result in disqualification.

C. Competitors arriving late for a track event (after the race has been run) are out of that competition.

D. Competitors arriving late for a field event (after the event has started) may join the competition and receive attempts for each round not yet completed. A round is considered to have begun when the first person in the round is called to make his attempt.

E. A competitor who returns from a track event or another field event to a field event (without delay and after vault and high jump) may take their turn, but only if the last round has not begun. A round is considered to have begun when the first person in the round is called to make his attempt. These attempts must be taken alternately so that no competitor has two consecutive attempts. If the last round has begun, then the competitor may have his last attempt, but only if the last listed competitor has not completed his last attempt.

In the pole vault and high jump, the bar may not be lowered at any time for any competitor who has been away at another event, and the event must progress at a reasonably normal pace. When a competitor returns, he may have attempts at the height not yet completed. These attempts must be taken alternately so that no competitor has consecutive jumps unless all other competitors clear the height and thus force the remaining competitor to take consecutive jumps.

8. Uniforms-All athletes are required to wear school uniform (or unmarked white T- Shirt). Will be enforced.

9. Coaching- No coaching will be allowed in the Finals (i.e. while the event in question is in progress). Competitors receiving coaching will be liable for disqualification.

• Coaches must not be on the field on the Final Day unless they are officiating.
• Coaches must not talk to any judges regarding a protest or an appeal – concerns to be discussed with appropriate Certified Referee (BC Athletics) for Track, Jumps, or Throws.

10. Disqualifications- In the event of a disqualification of an individual or relay team, (other than lane and passing violations) the coach will be contacted.
Note: A relay team can be disqualified when a runner throws the baton after completing the race, or for other displays of poor sportsmanship, including improper language.

11. Protests and Appeals
A. All protests and appeals must be made to the Meet Referee.
B. If necessary, the Referee will call together the Jury of Appeal which will consist of the following: League Chairman (Keith Butler); Meet Chairman (Brad Cunningham) Jumping Events Director; and Throwing Events Director. (substitute for conflict of interest)

12. Officiating Responsibilities
LVISSAA is pleased to have a number of BC Athletics and Athletics Canada certified officials who provide the technical assistance and direction to the meets. These officials have extensive experience in officiating at meets ranging from local middle school/high school meets up to and including world championship events. There are also a number of local school and community officials who work with these certified officials.Each school is responsible for providing officials to look after the designated responsibilities at all League Meets.
Lower Island Meet responsibilities will be confirmed at a later date by the Assistand Meet Director in charge of Officials

NOTE:  If for any reason your school is unable to look after your responsibility at a particular meet, then you must make arrangements as far ahead of time as possible to have other individuals take your job.
