26. RUN-OFFS Should there be a need to break a tie in determining who advances from a prelim heat to the finals, there will be a run-off conducted at the conclusion of the preliminary meet unless the coaches involved agree to flip a coin or a coach involved withdraws an entry. The run-off shall be conducted within 30 minutes of the conclusion of the last running event of the meet. If a tying athlete does not report to the track within 10 minutes of being called, but the other tying athlete so reports, then the reporting athlete will advance by default to the next level of competition. Individual coaches are responsible for knowing that a tie exists and being aware that there will be a run-off. Note: In finals run-offs and jump-offs will only be used to determine advancement to The State Prelims.
27. IMPLEMENT WEIGH-INS All shots and discs must be weighed in and measured prior to the event. Athletes are limited to two implements per event that may be brought to the event site. All brass shots must meet diameter requirements. Beginning times for weigh-in and measuring are: 7:45 a.m. for Prelims and 8:45 a.m. for Finals.
28. SUPERVISION State CIF Rule 307 requires compliance with California Administrative Code Title 5. The code stipulates that athletes must be supervised by a certified member of a school district. Therefore, no athlete will be permitted to compete without this supervision requirement. Coaches are advised to make note of this in regards to athletes who arrive to compete before the rest of the team.
29. APPEALS Appeals forms will be available at The Coaches Corner for both prelims and finals.. These appeal forms are to be completed and forwarded to a meet official within 30 minutes after the conclusion of the event. The appeal will be forwarded to the Referee (track or field event) for decision. Appeals from the Referee’s decision will be heard by the Appeals Committee. Unauthorized, unofficial use of video equipment in rendering decisions is prohibited. NOTE: There will be no appeal based upon judgment decision. PLEASE DO NOT VERBALLY PROTEST OR APPEAL YOUR CONCERNS. FILL OUT AN APPEAL FORM, AND TURN IT IN TO A MEET OFFICIAL.
Coaches should be aware that actions of their athletes may be applicable under our “ETHICS IN SPORTS” Policy which could result in a athlete’s disqualification from present and future meets.
30. JURY OF APPEALS The Jury of Appeals will hear appeals from a decision by the Meet Referee if lodged by the coach of the team concerned. Such appeals should be lodged immediately following a decision from the original appeal but in no case later than 15 minutes after the conclusion of the last running event. THE DECISION OF THE JURY OF APPEALS IS FINAL AND MAY NOT BE APPEALED TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY AT A LATER DATE.
31. SECTION FINALISTS WHO ADVANCE TO STATE PRELIMS The top three (3) individuals and the top three (3) relay teams from the “A” heat or flight will qualify into state prelims. In addition, any athlete not in the top 3 in the “A” heat or flight who meets or beats the State Automatic Mark will qualify for the STATE MEET. NOTE: State CIF event times are posted on the State CIF web site:

RELAY TEAM UNIFORMS In order to facilitate judging in the relay events, the following rule will be in force for the 2012 San Diego CIF Track and Field Prelims and Finals: “All FOUR MEMBERS OF EACH RELAY TEAM MUST WEAR IDENTICAL UNIFORMS.” This includes jerseys and shorts, and if worn, visible underclothing such as sweats, T-shirts, tights, etc. Relay teams without full compliance by all four members will not be eligible to participate and will be disqualified if found to be in violation after competing in the relay concerned.
