Track & Field Meet Hy-Tek Set up and Results Requirements
The ACDirect Results Management program will be used again this year
for results and national rankings. In order to be sure that your meet's
results will be accepted into the national results and rankings program
the meet will need to be set up in a particular way on Hy-Tek. Once the
meet is set up you will be able to download a csv file containing all
current BCA members (complete with their ACDirect number, full birthdate,
club affiliation and gender) into your meet. An updated csv file will then
be available to you on a weekly basis. Once the meet is over the results
should be forwarded to the BCA office where they will be checked to make
sure all the requirements are met and then forwarded to Athletics Canada.
Please contact Sam Collier at sam.collier@bcathletics.org
for instructions on meet set up and for BCA membership downloads and for
questions in general.

The IAAF is printing a limited number of 2009 Rule Books because of changes that will occur after Worlds. There will be a limited number of 2009 IAAF Rule Books available through the BC Athletics office. When they are available it will be announced in the BCAB.

The following files provided can be used by those currently in possession of a 2008 IAAF Rule Book to bring information current. A link to the 2009 IAAF Rule Book PDF posted on the IAAF website is also provided for those wishing to download Section 3 - Anti Doping:

In light of the unprovoked attack and murder of Wendy Ladner-Beaudry in Pacific Spirit Park, BC Athletics would like to remind all runners to be cautious, particularly when running alone and in unpopulated and poorly lit areas.

Attention Coaches and Athletes
The False Start rule, similar to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rule, is currently being discussed for adoption by the IAAF. The rule will NOT be in affect this season.
The False start rule does not allow anyone to move before the gun is sounded. Anyone who starts before the gun goes off will be eliminated from the race.
A second chance will not be given to the field.
