On-Course Celebration: We recognize the excitement when a friend, loved one, or team member crosses the finish line however the following rules apply due to our safety and insurance protocols: • The race does not end until the heels of both manikins have fully crossed the finish line. • Any person(s) NOT part of a Tandem or Relay team CANNOT ENTER THE COURSE until the Course Official indicates that both athletes and/or teams have completed the race. • Team members already on the course because they were part of the race MUST STEER CLEAR OF THE FINISH LINE until both athletes and/or teams have completed the race. Team members must either stand behind the catch pad or off to the side of the finish line truss system ensuring that both the athlete and Course Official have a clean path to the finish line. This also prevents our camera system from being obstructed.
Infraction Policy:
• Anyone entering the course before the play has ended in both lanes will be issued a one-time verbal warning and must immediately leave the course. • Family members entering the course that do not adhere to the verbal instruction to exit the course immediately will see their athlete Disqualified . • Any athlete(s) entering the course that were not part of the current race will be Disqualified . • Team members already on the course that do not remain to the sides of the victim rescue lanes and are obstructing the path of the Course Official and TV crew will receive a 5 second penalty . 16
