The shot-put, hammer, and discus circles are all concrete.  The shot-put circle is located at the west end of the track.  The hammer and discus circles are located on McDonough Field, north of the Woodruff PE Center. Javelin will be contested on the track's infield and on McDonough Field on grass runways.

SPIKES
Spikes should be no longer than ¼" in length, and of pyramid design.  No pin spikes allowed.

ELIGIBILITY
The meet will be conducted according to NCAA Track & Field rules.

ENTRY PROCEDURE
Meet entries will be handled through directathletics.com.  To register for the meets, go to the website directathletics.com, and log in or register then log in. Once logged in, click on meets and select either the Emory Invitational or the Emory Classic.

**Unattached Athletes**

If you are interested in competing unattached at either the Emory Invitational or the Emory Classic, please contact Phil Logan (404-451-8485; plogan40@hotmail.com). The cost for unattached entry is $30, which will allow you to compete in up to two events. This is an entry cost and must be paid at the time of entry and is non-refundable. The same entry deadlines apply.  As this is a scored collegiate invitational, unattached athletes will not advance to finals.

ENTRY DEADLINES
Registration begins two weeks prior to the registration deadlines for each meet. The entry deadlines for the meets are as follows:

Emory Invitational: Tuesday, March 19th at 11:59 PM
Emory Classic: Tuesday, March 26th at 11:59 PM

ENTRY FEE
Entries are $200.00 per team. A total of $400.00 for men's and women's teams. Make checks payable to Emory University Track.  Please note that all entries fees will be assessed and billed based on the entry deadline.  Fees are non-refundable.

ENTRY LIMITATIONS
Because of the large number of teams anticipated in this year's Invitational (March 22 - 23) and Emory Classic (March 29 - 30) we will have to limit entries in all field events and running events 800 meters and less to THREE ATHLETES per team.  In events over 800 meters you may enter FOUR ATHLETES per team.

PERFORMANCE LISTS
Performance lists for each event will be posted the Thursday prior to the weekend of the competition.  Field event flight assignments will be available at that time.  Designation for a cut offs for mid-distance and distance "B Sections" will be posted on the performance lists.

MEET PACKETS
Meet packets should be picked up at the Officials Tent on the track infield, near the finish line.  Please pick up your packet as early as possible.  The tent will be staffed 90 minutes prior to the start of the meet.

HEATS/FLIGHTS
All races will be run as final heats against time.  The field events will normally have 3 preliminary attempts, and 3 final attempts.  Nine athletes will advance to the finals. (In the case that field sizes become to large, we reserve the right to set minimum distance requirements after one fair throw has been recorded.)

RUNNING EVENTS
All running event athletes must check-in with the Clerk of the Course in the tent at the east end (steeple side) of the track

CHECK IN
At least 40 minutes before their scheduled race time.  At that time they should highlight their name on the posted performance list only if, they plan to run the event.  Those not highlighted will be scratched and heat sheets will be produced based on those pre-checked athletes only.  This eliminates empty lanes and unnecessary heats.  Athletes will again check-in 15 minutes prior to their race to receive their heat and lane assignments, as well as their hip number. No late check-ins will be granted.

IMPLEMENT WEIGH-INS
Implements must be left, and clearly marked, at the implement certification table at the west end (shot put area) of the track at least 90 minutes prior to the start of competition.  Implements may also be left on the day prior to the competition, from 3:00-5:00 pm.  Implements passing inspection will be delivered to their venue 45 minutes prior to competition. Implements not pre-certified will not be allowed in the competition and will be held at the Officials Tent on the infield until the meet is completed.

STARTING HEIGHTS
The starting height of the high jump and pole vault will be determined by the head field official based on entry marks.  Per NCAA Rules, the crossbar will be raised in increments of 5 centimeters in the high jump, and increments of 15 centimeters in the pole vault.

TIMING
LYNX System Timing will be used in all the races.

AMENITIES
Shower facilities will be provided.  Shower supplies will not be provided.  The locker facilities will not be secured, and Emory University will not be responsible for any lost or stolen items.

TRAINERS
Beginning one hour before the start of the meet through its conclusion, trainers and training facilities will be available in a tent adjacent to the shot-put circle at the west end of the track.
