INSTRUCTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS

Awards
Although the NCAA does not provide awards for the region meets, we will recognize the top fifteen finishers and top four teams from both the men’s and women’s races. Coaches please have your athletes available following the conclusion of the last race for this presentation.

Credentials
There will be coaches/officials credentials for access to the results/hospitality tent that will be located near the finish line. Credentials will be distributed during packet pick-up. SID’s and media who plan on attending should contact John Spugnardi (Bellarmine’s SID) for press access.

Coaches Meeting
The coaches meeting to discuss race details will be held on Friday, November 19th @ 3:00 PM at the recreation building at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park. Coaches’ packets will be distributed at this time and will include a copy of the team’s entry form, athlete numbers, timing chips, important phone numbers, course maps, credentials, parking passes, and other pertinent information. All Head Coaches (or their designee) are required to attend.

Concessions
There will be a concession tent located near the shelter house about 200m from the finish line.

Course Markings
The course is marked by a single white line and natural boundaries. Umpires will be stationed throughout the course. See Appendix D: Women’s 6,000 Meter Course Map and Appendix E: Men’s 10,000 Meter Course Map.

Coaches’ Packet Pick-Up
Coaches’ packets can be picked up beginning at 2:00 PM on Friday, November 19th in the recreation building at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park. Any packet not picked up by the conclusion of the coaches meeting will be available on Saturday, November 20th at the course starting at 9:00 AM (please see Jim Vargo – Bellarmine Head Coach).

Dining
See Appendix B: Louisville Restaurant Guide.

Directions
See Appendix C: Directions to E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park.

Declarations
Coaches must declare during packet pickup a maximum of seven (7) student-athletes that will compete for their institution from the listed names on the team’s roster submitted on line at www.directathletics.com. The runners declared for the national championship meet may be different than those that competed at the region meet, but all names must have appeared on the original entry form submitted by the November 3 deadline.

Drug Testing
Student-athletes who compete in this championship may be subjected to drug tests in accordance with NCAA testing protocol. Only student-athletes who have consented in writing to such testing are initially eligible for this championship; and, thereafter, student-athletes who are tested shall remain eligible only if they test negative.

NCAA championships committees, following a recommendation from the NCAA drug-testing subcommittee, have discontinued the practice of announcing whether drug testing will be conducted at NCAA championship events. Although knowing prior to competition whether NCAA drug testing was to occur had value for reasons of convenience, it left open the possibility that student-athletes might be tempted to use banned substances if they knew that NCAA testing was not being conducted at the site of competition.

Therefore, all coaches and student-athletes should presume that NCAA drug testing will occur at this championship event. Please inform your student-athletes that in the event they are notified of their selection for drug testing, the student-athlete must inform an official representative of your institution (e.g., coach, athletic trainer) before proceeding to the drug-testing site. Student-athletes will be reminded by the courier to contact their team representative.

Drug testing may occur at any session of the championship. If it occurs at this session, a representative of the student-athlete’s institution will make contact with the selected student-athletes immediately following the conclusion of the 10 minute cooling-off period. After signing the notification form, student-athletes have one hour to report to the testing site. Accordingly, two separate areas will be provided if testing is conducted.

Entry Process
The entry roster for each institution competing in the 2010 Midwest Region Meet must be submitted online by midnight Eastern Time on Wednesday, November 3. The online entry roster can be accessed through Direct Athletics at www.directathletics.com. There is no limit as to the number of eligible student-athletes that an institution may submit on their Team Roster, but no more than seven may participate. You will declare your competing athletes (up to seven) during the Declaration Process on Friday, November 19.The same roster will be used for the region qualifying meets and national championships. Changes to the actual competitors can be made from any eligible member listed on the team roster at the time of declarations.

Hospitality
This area will be restricted to the following personnel: Coaches, Officials, Administrators, and Volunteers on Saturday, November 20th from 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Final results will be posted in the Hospitality tent as soon as they are available for the protest period. There will be light refreshments available in the hospitality tent.

Hotels
Please see Appendix A: Louisville Hotels Closest to E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park

Inclement Weather
Following NCAA protocol, we will be using WeatherSentry online lightening detection and weather monitoring system. Once lightning enters the 30 mile radius of competition, we will begin preparations to protect the student-athletes and spectators. Once lightning enters an 8 mile radius of our site, competition must stop and student-athletes and spectators will be moved to safe areas. We will not begin any activity until 30 minutes have passed since the last lightning strike inside the warning ring.

Inspection of Course
