This week is our centre championships and it is an all-day event for registered athletes, please check the schedule for your athletes event times. The final timetable has been uploaded onto the schedule tab and the duty roster will be uploaded later this evening. All parents who have athletes competing this weekend have been allocated a duty, the running of championships requires many hands and we appreciate all your help for it to run smoothly.
We will have a call room running this Saturday from the Pavilion, once events have been called via the PA, the athlete is to present to the CALL ROOM where their name will be marked off then they proceed to the event as a group. For some athletes this is a new procedure so we ask parents to assist in directing them to the call room for EVERY EVENT. Note call room opens at 0815 for all 0830 events so please ensure you allow plenty of time on your arrival if you have an early event. It is imperative we start the day on time to avoid any delays in our schedule. A reminder to parents to keep a note of which event your athletes are competing in and only present to those events.
The schedule has been created to avoid clashes with individuals across events however in the event of delays we urge parents to keep an eye on YOUR ATHLETES schedule and highlight any clashes to officials so your athlete can complete in both events.
For athletes who progress from heats to finals for track events, the final list of competitors will be adhered to the pavilion window.
Unfortunately this year we are unable to offer engraving on the day for medals.
The canteen and BBQ will be available all day to fuel and hydrate our athletes. Please remember to apply sunscreen, wear your Kiddies Eye care PB reward hat and stay out of the direct sun as much as you can!
All events will be run in accordance to LAVic guidelines, for track events ensure athletes run within their lanes in laned events, do not interfere with other athletes in unlaned events and false starts will result in disqualifications. For field events ensure athletes are aware of that discipline rules. http://www.lavic.com.au/Portals/43/Documents/2017/Officials/LAVic%20Officiating%20Booklet%20-%202017-18.pdf
GOOD LUCK TO ALL ATHLETES
