PLEASE READ BEFORE ENTERING
Instructions and Rules for entering the meet:
1) Please understand we are using Online Entry because the meet will be FAT (Fully Automatic Timing), this should speed up the meet as well as ensure athletes receive precise and accurate times.
2) Therefore, we ask that you use accurate marks for entering athletes, so the heats and flights are seeded correctly. (If an athlete already has a mark on Milesplit.com please use that mark and don't override the seed. The meet officials may revise submitted entries to ensure the best competition possible for all athletes)
3) Also, only enter athletes in events if you feel they will definitely show up and compete (scratches or no-shows will result in EMPTY lanes at the meet / we cannot fill those lanes the day of the meet since the computer will already have lanes assigned to the athletes that were entered online)
4) All heat sheets and field event sheets will be drawn the day before the meet and we cannot add athletes the day of the meet.
5) You can always change your team entries until the deadline at 11 PM 2 DAYS before competition. (At that point entries will be locked)
Any requests or questions about what is posted above, entry marks, seeding, or other meet rules should be sent to the meet director prior to the meet - nick.white@maryville-schools.org or 865-719-3653

Meet Day Information for Spectators and Teams:
1) PARKING - Please park in school parking lots, or any marked areas for meet day parking. We will have High School Athletes directing traffic. DO NOT park along any streets or curbs if they are not marked for parking spots. The road that separates the Track Facility and the Baseball Field should not be parked on at any time, as your car will be towed.
2) RESTROOMS - There will be access to the restrooms located just inside the entrance to the baseball field. These restrooms are NOT large enough to be used as dressing rooms, so please have athletes change into uniforms before arriving at the Track Facility. There will be "port-a-johns" located near the entrance to the Track, but these will be marked for athletes, so they do not have to wait to use the restroom and possibly miss an event.
3) CONCESSIONS - There will be a concession stand serving food near the main spectator seating area.
4) SPECTATORS - There are bleachers for spectators to watch the meet safely. Spectators are not allowed on or inside the track, the warmup areas, team areas, or in the competition areas. There will be room for spectators who bring their own chairs.
