certified for accuracy prior to the championship. The host shall be responsible for the accuracy of the equipment utilized. It is also mandatory to

have an electronic lightning detection device on site.

Section 23. Lightning Safety Guidelines (Approved October 2005)

A. The purpose of this policy is to provide information to those responsible for making decisions about suspending and restarting events

based on the presence of lightning. (Information taken from the NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook and NCAA Championships Severe Weather

Policy.)

1. Electronic detection devices are mandatory at all outdoor home athletic events to determine the severity of the weather.

However, such devices should not be used as the sole source when considering terminating events.

2. National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) staff strongly recommend that all individuals should have left the event site and

reached a safe structure or location by the time the person monitoring the weather obtains a flash-to-bang (lightning-to-

thunder) count of 30 seconds (equivalent to lightning being six miles away). This recommendation was developed as a

practical way to make a judgment in situations where other resources such as technology and instrumentation are not

available.

3. The existence of blue sky and the absence of rain are not protection from lightning. Lightning can, and does, strike as far as

10 miles away from the rain shaft. It does not have to be raining for lightning to strike.

4. When considering resumption of events, NSSL staff recommends that everyone ideally should wait at least 30 minutes

after the last flash of lightning or sound of thunder before returning to the field of activity.

photo or videotape before it becomes official.

1. Official pictures under protest may be viewed only by the fully automatic timing device official, the Referee and the Games

Committee. The coach involved in the protest may view the picture with the Referee present.

2. The head finish line evaluator shall, by utilizing the official picture of the finish, be responsible for the evaluation and

interpretation of the finish places and times.

D. Back up timing mechanisms must be in place in case of an equipment failure with the electronic devices.



Section 25. Protests

A. Protest forms shall be made available to the coaches at the coaches meeting. All protests must be made in writing, and shall be managed

as codified in the NCAA Track & Field Rule Book.

B. Official pictures under protest may be viewed only by the fully automatic timing device official, the Referee, and the Appeals Jury. The coach

involved in the protest may view the picture with the Referee present.

by the athlete prior to his or her disqualification shall stand.

4. No competitor shall be allowed to compete without the appropriate jersey number and (if appropriate) hip number. The jersey

number must be affixed to the front of the student-athlete’s jersey. Pole Vaulters may wear their numbers on their backs.
