If you need to edit your performances, simply send in another form but be sure to enter the athlete's name exactly the same as you did previously or two different names will show up in the database. Performance lists per event will be posted by Thursday morning, May 20 at http://web.mit.edu/hwtaylor/mtfxc/Last%20Chance%20Qualifier/entries.html.

Standards: There will be no standards, but the field sizes are limited to the top 32 entries per event. Competing athletes will have to verify their performance on the entry form (results need to be online) and that performance will have had to have occured since 1/1/04.

Entry Fees: Entry fees are $15.00 per athlete. Checks should be made out to MIT and presented in order to be declared in the meet. There will be no delayed payments. Please do not send payment in the mail--bring it with you.

Final Declaration: Upon paying your entry fee, you will be declared in the meet. Those not paying and declaring within 30 minutes of the start of their event will be eliminated from that event.

Facilities: A new 8lane Mondo Super X Directional track was installed in 2002. A maximum length of 1/4" spikes are permitted on all Mondo areas. We will be using FinishLynx as well as FieldLynx to expidite the results, which will be shown on the scoreboard and be posted on a board on the north side of our stands.

Warmups: Warmups will not be permitted on the track once the meet has begun. Warmups will have to be conducted outside the track area until the event preceding the athlete's event is completed. In the case of rain the adjacent indoor facility will be available. The infield will be off limits to anyone who is not warming up for a field event during that event's scheduled warmup period, which is as soon as the previous event using that venue is over.

Weigh-In: Implements will be weighed-in and measured up until an hour prior to the start of an event.

Parking: Buses can drop athletes off at the Vasser Street entrance to Steinbrenner Track and then proceed to the Albany Street parking lot (see map). Once you link to the map, go to locate a feature, then parking, then Albany Street Open Lot. Vans and cars can park across from the track at the West Garage Annex if space is available.

Showers: Shower facilities will not be available at MIT.

Restaurants and Lodging: A good sample of both restaurants and hotels can be found at http://web.mit.edu/hwtaylor/mtfxc/Last%20Chance%20Qualifier/r&l.html. During the meet, food will can be purchased at the track concessions or the student center.

Athletic Trainers: Athletic Trainers will be at the site from 10:00-6:00 on Saturday. Please bring your own tape and other supplies as needed. Water and ice will be available, but no modality or special treatment.

Timing/Results: During the meet, coaches will have results placed in their results envelopes which will be placed on the north wall.
