Bubba Joiner Invitational

Bubba Joiner
Invitational Track Meet
March 1, 2012

Coaches,

                I would like to welcome you to the Third Annual Bubba Joiner Invitational Track Meet at Liberty Christian School.  Please register your team on athletic.net.  We will also be using this website to post results for the meet.  We will use Flash Timing fully automatic timing system.  Each running participant will have their time posted online for each event.  Field event participants will receive a height/distance for each event as well.  If you are not familiar with this site, you can reference the tutorials on how to get your team signed up and entered into their events.  You must add this track meet to your schedule in order to be able to enter athletes into events.  To avoid running races with incomplete heats, please only enter athletes that you know will be competing.  Once we print the heat sheets, combining heats will not be possible due to the timing system program.  Any changes that need to be made can be made up until 10:00 A.M. on March 1.  At this time we will pull your entries and no changes will be accepted other than scratches.  You can make these on the website and they will be reflected on our heat sheets when we print those off.  Please enter in the athlete’s year (or personal) best for the event.  If you do not know, please guess.  This will help us get the kids competing in the most competitive heats since all running events will be finals.  We will change the finish line to accommodate for significant wind if necessary.  If we do have to change the finish line, we may change the order of events in the 100h/110h so that the boys will compete first in that event.  This will help speed up the meet and keep us from having to move our camera at the finish line too many times.  We will give you plenty of notice if this is the case.  There will be a hospitality room for you and your coaches.  Please feel free to eat and drink as much as you like.  We only ask that you do not take anything from the hospitality room for your athletes.  A concession stand will be available for all athletes.  Campsites will be allowed only in the fenced in grassy area to the south of the home stands.  Times listed below are all tentative and may be changed if needed.  We will run the meet for the most part on a rolling schedule.  Thank you for being a part of this year’s track meet.   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or email.
