<strong>Zone</strong> FAQ’s<br />
Is my uniform correct<br />
You must have your registration number with the red border showing on the front of your uniform,<br />
the IGA patch on the top right hand side of uniform and your centre number (Centre 70) on the back<br />
of your uniform. Your age patch should be on the left hand side of the pants. Uniforms will be<br />
checked at marshalling and if not correct you will be sent away to get it fixed up (if possible) or not<br />
be allowed to compete. You need to be in your new <strong>Illawong</strong> singlet/crop top and the correct plain<br />
black shorts/briefs (with no stripes/decorations). Skins/compression pants ‐ only above knee skins<br />
are permitted to be worn and must be worn under shorts etc. They can be any colour or brand.<br />
Where do I get a centre number<br />
If you haven’t already collected a centre number from the canteen, Karen Herrmann (Championships<br />
Officer and Team Manager – 0433 116 859 ) and Deborah Engeler (Vice President – 0402 403 955)<br />
will both have a few spare centre numbers and IGA patches . Please bring pins with you.<br />
Where does the team sit<br />
Generally the <strong>Illawong</strong> people sit at the far end of the grandstand (closest to baseball field) and on<br />
the grass area beside the grandstand. You do not have to sit with the team but it is better if you are<br />
nearby in case you need to be contacted.<br />
Where do I get a program<br />
One program per family is provided by the zone , this can be collected from the <strong>Illawong</strong> area when<br />
you arrive . See Glen Nicholls (President).<br />
I am rostered for duty – what do I do<br />
The roster is placed on the website and in the operations room, and a copy will be with Glen<br />
Nicholls, Karen Herrmann and Deborah Engeler. You can not change people mid‐event so when the<br />
event for a specific age group finishes you can changeover if rostered on. Check in and sign on for<br />
duty, collect your duty badge so you can be recognised as being permitted to be on the field, and go<br />
to your allocated event. The location of each field event is listed in the front of the program.<br />
Note: Coaching during an event<br />
Please note that if you are assisting at an event you can not speak to your child or provide advice to<br />
the athletes on how to do the event. That is considered to be coaching and you child will be<br />
penalised. You can only call out encouragement from behind the fenced area/s.<br />
My son/daughter has qualified for Region, what do I do now<br />
If your child (U8‐U17 age groups) finishes in the top 6 they will qualify for the Region Championships<br />
to be held at Sylvania Waters <strong>Athletics</strong> Track on 16 th and 17th February 2013. If you have qualified<br />
please notify Helen Nisbet (Registrar). Qualifiers will be provided with a souvenir shirt from <strong>Illawong</strong>.<br />
Under 7’s do not go to Region ‐ the top 3 place getters will receive medals on the day.<br />
My son/daughter has qualified for Region but we can not attend – what do we do<br />
If you know you are not available for Region (16 th and 17 th Feb 2013) and your child has qualified you<br />
will need to fill in a withdrawal from competition form on the day. This is usually available from the<br />
<strong>Zone</strong> Carnival Information Officer. It is important that you fill this in as soon as possible after<br />
completion of the event so the next person can be notified that they have qualified in your place.
How do I lodge a protest<br />
All protests need to be lodged by the team manager , Karen Herrmann (0433 116 859). If Karen is<br />
not available see Glen Nicholls or Deborah Engeler. In the first instance speak to one of these<br />
<strong>Illawong</strong> contact people to ensure that you have a valid protest. Protests must be lodged within 30<br />
minutes of the completion of the event along with a $50 protest fee. If the protest is upheld you<br />
will get the $50 back. If it is dismissed you will lose the $50. This fee is in place to stop frivolous<br />
protests from holding up carnival proceedings. You can not lodge a counter protest if you do not like<br />
the outcome.<br />
Please do not leave the carnival area as soon as you have finished your track events.<br />
There is a 30 minute period allowed where protests can be lodged and there have been<br />
instances in the past that a track event has had to be re‐run. If you have left the area you<br />
will miss out.
