11. PBL plans to use FAT timing for all races. If the FAT fails during a race with more than one heat/section, then hand-held times will be used for all heats/sections. A decision by the Games Committee will be made if it is to the advantage of the athletes to “turn” the 100, 110 and 200 due to windy conditions. FAT can be used for the 100 and 110, but not the 200 if turned.
12. Bus Parking: Please park in the north end of the lots and pull into parking spaces not across.
13. Press Box. We ask that coaches refrain from coming to the press box during the meet.
