FROM THE BCA OFFICE

EVENT DIRECTORS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION !!!

ACDirect Results Management Program and Rankings

We are using the ACDirect Results Management Program for all of our outdoor meets in 2008. Next year all provinces will use this system but for now BC is the only one. Rankings will be done through ACDirect which will be used for BC team selection, funding etc. so it is VERY important that your meet results are included.

In order for results to be uploaded to the ACD Results site you will have to set your meet up in a certain way in HyTek Meet Manager. Once you've set your meet up you will be able to download BC Athletics members information directly into your Athlete Roster so you will have everyone you need there, complete with their birth dates, BCA numbers etc. It also ensures that names are spelled correctly. After your meet you will need to create a simple export file and send it in to me and then we can upload your results.

Don't panic - it's really very easy (if Sam Collier can do it anyone can!) and Sam will get you all the information, links and assistance you need.

So before you set up the meet on HyTek contact Sam at sam.collier@bcathletics.org.

If your meet does not use HyTek please contact Sam and she will let you know what you need to do so we can actually use your meet results and get them in to the BC Rankings.

Olympic School Program – Contests and Gifts

The Canadian Olympic School Program, presented by RBC®, will reward eight GRAND PRIZE winning schools with a Run, Jump, Throw equipment bag ($700 value), an RBC Olympian school visit, and $1,000 towards the event costs of a sports day.

NACAC U23 Championships

Athletics Canada published Selection Criteria in February for the NACAC U23 Championships. NACAC has only just recently sent out standards. These are not consistent with past events. Athletics Canada has been working to change many of these standards to make them fair and in keeping with the objectives of this meet. Many other countries have also expressed concern.

There are twelve Athletics Canada standards that are affected by the NACAC standards.

These include:

Men’s

 Women’s

We will continue to work to have changes made, but we are bound by NACAC standards as stated in the National Team Selection Rules Book. Athletes should be prepared if these changes need to be made.

Athletics Canada will send out another bulletin when this is resolved.
