Track and Field
Structured Format
Start lists and individual results are reported by announcers.
- Registration is completed 48 hours before meet day
- Running event sections and field event flights are set before the event
- Clerk sets heat as presented in heat sheets
- Very limited substitution is allowed
Unstructured Format
(where competition between athletes is emphasized)
- Registration is completed 48 hours before meet day
- Running event sections and field event flights are set before the event
- Clerks are given the flexibility to pack and combine heats without changing start lists in HyTek MM and FinishLynx. Clerks do not even have to inform the timers.
- Field event judges record athlete performances on provided score sheets
For each of these formats we train clerks, start line crew, and finish line crew to provide the information needed to avoid delays and minimize reporting errors.
