It appears that the vast majority of the coaches did not like the solution to their problem of not being able to seed the event fairly. These performances will be posted on the internet, allowing others to challenge anyone seeded ahead of their runners up to a designated date before the meet. After that time the seeds will be frozen. This also means that these two events cannot be entered the day of the meet. Again, these names can NOT be substituted for the day of the meet.
Any error slows down the processing of results.
They will happen, but we must have procedures in place that will ensure they will be held to a minimum. If the card has been processed, the event will count against the competitor's participation limits whether or not the competitor actually performs in that event. Another item concerning seeding of relays. Coaches are to be reminded that a relay seed is only valid if the same four competitors who earned it are running the relay. Conversely, however, a coach cannot ask for a higher seed because of a change of personnel, unless it involves the 4x400 moving from the Group Meet to the Meet of Champions, then only if the 4x400 relay team was a group winner and the coach has submitted the request before the Meet of Champions by the date designated in the Tournament Regulations.
