2011 NIAA 1A, 2A & 3A SOUTHERN LEAGUE TRACK and FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS @ BOULDER CITY HIGH SCHOOL

 

The 2011 NIAA Class 1A/2A/3A Southern League boys & girls Track and Field Championships are set for Friday, May 13 (day one) and Saturday, May 14 (day two) at Boulder City High School. The meet will be contested following the state meet (two-day) format. Coaches and athletes should note that the 2011 schedule has changed from 2010 (as voted on in 2004 by the NIAA Track and Field Coaches Advisory Committee and the State Meet Organizing Committee). In essence, the Friday-Saturday schedule blocks have rotated and will now remain in place for a new two-year interval. The meet schedule will again/next switch DAYS (flip-flop) in 2013.

 

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT ENTRIRES ARE DUE MONDAY, MAY 9 (see next page).

 

 

MEET ORGANIZATION, MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS

 

The Games Committee is responsible for the entire meet’s management and all information above and beyond what is printed in this meet information packet.

 

The Jury of Appeals is responsible for the interpretation of all rules, regulations and policies set forth in this meet information packet and the National Federation rule book.

 

The NIAA staff and Board of Control will communicate only with the Meet Director with regards to meet operations.

 

RULES

 

National Federation rules will govern the meet unless otherwise stated in this meet information packet. A three/five-member Jury of Appeals will rule on any protest.

The decision of the Jury of Appeals is final. No recourse (to the NIAA office, its staff or Board of Control) of action will be permitted after a ruling by the Jury of Appeals.

 

PROBLEM PROTOCOL

 

The head coach should proceed to the clerk / staging area to get in immediate contact with the Meet Referee when a protest situation occurs. Judgment decisions cannot be protested. A PROTEST FEE OF $25 CASH OR CHECK (payable to NIAA) WILL BE CHARGED. THE FEE WILL BE RETURNED IF THE PROTEST IS WON.

A three/five-member Jury of Appeals will rule on any protest. Again, the decision of the Jury of Appeals is final.
