Can I substitute anyone after the entries have closed?
No. This includes relays, so make sure to get your 4-8 athletes declared for each relay.

Individual Entry Limits: An athlete can only be entered in a maximum of 3 individual events. An athlete entered in less than 3 may be entered in any/all relays as long as they do not exceed the maximum of 3 events. Here are the accepted scenarios:

 - 3 individual events - cannot be entered in or compete in a relay event.
 - 2 individual events - can be entered in up to 3 relays, but can only compete in 1 of them.
 - 1 individual event - can be entered in up to 3 relays, but can only compete in 2 of them.
 

Sectional Class Relays: Each Team is allowed to enter a "Relay Team A" for each relay event because relay teams are Accepted (automatic)  if they have a time for the season. One performance from the season is required.  But you still need to make the online entry for each relay team you wish to enter. (with the 4-8 names).

If an athlete fails to "Check in"  to an event for which they are scheduled,
then they are done for the remainder of the meet. This includes Track and field.

Athletes in Track and Field events going on at the same time
They need to check out with the Field Official in order to check in and compete on the track. There is a Time limit for checking back in with the Field official , so be sure to communicate with that Field official. If the track event is held up, you should check back in with the Field official. HJ and PV bars will continue to advance (they will not wait for the checked out athlete to come back).
