SPECIAL NOTES FOR FIELD EVENTS.
1. All field events will be run as open pit/ring events. All entrants must report and complete their trials during the designated time window listed for the event. Three (3) trials will be allowed in all field events except for high jump and pole vault (see below).

2. Alabama has adopted the rubber-tipped javelin as an event; entrants may borrow implements if needed for competition. Steel-tipped javelins MAY NOT be used or brought to the competition!

3. Competition in the high jump and pole vault may be expedited by allowing each competitor six (6) total attempts to achieve their best mark. Competitors MUST clear an opening height in their first three (3) attempts in order to be eligible for their remaining trials. The bar may be raised or lowered at any time the competitor chooses. Please go over this modified procedure, which is utilized to limit the time of the competition, with your entrants prior to the meet.

4. Competition in all throwing events will be conducted with competitors using the 2 plus 1 method where they throw 2 times in succession when their turn comes around and then once afterwards. This will speed up the competition time considerably.

5. DO NOT ENTER COMPETITORS IN FIELD EVENTS WHO CAN NOT MEET THE MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR THE RESPECTIVE EVENT(S)!!!! Horizontal jump marks not meeting minimum standards will have the first legal attempt measured, but none thereafter not meeting the standard. In the throwing events, the better of the first two (2) throws will be measured.

marks that meet minimum standards. Four (4) competitors from each team may be entered, but only 3 can count toward team scoring.

3. Starting time for field events that are scheduled to begin after 9 AM may be moved up as much as 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time if we are able to do so. In such cases, announcements will be made over the PA system. Coaches are to inform their field event competitors of this possibility prior to the meet.

4. Athletes who win either an individual field or hurdle event, as well as athletes who are on winning relay teams, will be limited to one (1) T-shirt regardless of how many events they may win.
