Email Address: Each head coach is asked to send Mark Storm by email (stormmr@lcsedu.net) his email address so that any needed direct communication can be accomplished.
Entries: Individual Entries: Each team is allowed to enter a maximum of three individuals per individual event., including field events. A team is allowed to enter more than 3 individuals as long as each entry has met the Conference 30 standard for that event.
Relay Entries: Each team is allowed to enter one relay per relay event.
Admission: All tickets are $5.
Passes Honored: Seminole passes will NOT be honored at this meet, since this is a Conference 30 Meet. VHSL Principal, VHSL Coaches Passes, VIAAA, and VHSCA passes will be honored.
Weather Issues: If weather is an issue on Friday, we will run the entire meet as a one-day meet on Saturday; understand that this may cause changes in what events a distance runner may run. If we foresee that Saturday will be an issue but not Friday, we may attempt to run the entire meet on Friday night.
Areas of Emphasis:
Please make sure all athletes comply with the uniform rule.
Please make sure that all athletes understand that this facility is a NO-SPIKE facility. No spikes are allowed under any circumstances and any athlete found wearing spikes will be disqualified from that point. This would include disqualification from the event in which the athlete is competing when discovered wearing spikes and any further competition. This has been approved through Shawn Knight of the VHSL Office, under National Federation rule book 3.2.4
No personal music equipment can be in use; athletes with headphones on cannot hear the instructions or clerk calls.
All running events take priority over field events.
When an athletes event has been called, he/she needs to make sure to report asap.
Scoring: This year, since Tunstall does not field indoor track teams, this will be a four-team competition. Since we need to determine six finishers to advance to the regional meet, we will score this meet as a Championship Meet using that scoring format:
Individual Event Scoring will be 10-8-6-4--2-1 for 6 places and the same for relays, except we can only score 4 relays since there will only be a maximum of 4 relay entries (10-8-6-4).
Awards: There will be a championship trophy per gender and a plaque for Coach-of-the-Year and
Athlete-of-the-Year per gender. There are no medals awarded in Conference 30
Tournaments; instead, each schools AD is armed with enough blank Conference 30
certificates to produce certificates at each school for all those athletes who score in this
meet. Each head coach will be asked to vote for three male and three female athletes for
the performer awards and will be asked to read their votes out-loud at a short coaches
meeting directly after the last event. A ballot will be provided in each coachs packet.
Athletic Trainer: Chris Hallberg of Heritage will be on duty for any athletic training needs and taping. HOWEVER, please understand that it is the responsibility of athletes who need to be taped to bring a roll or two of their own schools tape to be used; HHS tape will not be used for this purpose.
Conference 30 Standards: These are attached.
VHSL Entry Forms: These are also attached and may be used as work sheets.
Fan Seating: All spectators must remain in the bleachers or in designated areas for fans. This prevents
fans from interfering with any competitor in action. We will have the two 3-row bleachers in the middle of the basketball court for additional seating.

Field Event Judges: Field events will be run by coaching staffs of the participating schools.
Assignments for field events are:
All LJ and TJ Heritage
Shot Put Liberty
Pole Vault Brookville
