cents. There are coins of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and 1 and 2 Euros. Bank notes are of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. All the major international credit cards are accepted in hotels, shops and restaurants (Visa, Mastercard, Eurocard, American Express).

2. TRAVEL TO BARCELONA

2.1 Official Airport and Arrival Information The only official airport for the Championships is Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN). The LOC will not have a welcome desk at the main railway station in Barcelona however, if teams inform in advance of any arrivals by train, the LOC will have staff there to meet them with name boards and escort them to their bus. LOC staff will assist the delegations with entry formalities and customs clearance. The Delegations will collect their luggage in the Baggage Claim Area and carry them to the Transport Loading Zones provided for the Championships. Special arrangements will be made for the Vaulting Poles which will be collected directly at the airport and transferred to the Stadium or the Mar Bella training area (see also 7.4). A tag with the athlete’s details will be placed on the pole for easier identification. On the way back they will go directly from the Stadium to the airport where they will stay on a truck ready to be collected by the athlete before flight check‐in. In case of lost luggage, the LOC will make every effort to help locate it. The Team Leader is nevertheless expected to declare the missing luggage at the Lost and Found office. The Team Leader will be also requested to return to the airport to identify the luggage if it was not located immediately. Consequently, transportation of the luggage to the venue/hotel will be arranged by the LOC. There will be Transport Loading Zones with clear signs for buses to the different Team Hotels. All athletes and officials will be transported to their respective hotel while, if practical, the Team Leader will report directly to the LOC / IAAF Accreditation Offices to complete the administrative formalities. Once the Team Leader has finalised all necessary formalities, he/she will join the rest of the team. In case of early or late arrivals, the Team Leader will complete accreditation formalities the next day or as soon as practical (see 3.2 later). 2.2 Entry Visas Detailed Entry Visa information was circulated in January 2012. The list of countries requiring visas and the procedures for applying are in Appendix 13.3. 2.3 Insurance All Member Federations are responsible for their own insurance to cover illness or injury to any member of their Delegation and/or team when travelling to and from IAAF competitions and during the event itself. The IAAF has negotiated with its insurance company insurance coverage for emergency medical costs during the travel and stay abroad for all athletes and officials entered. More information can be found in IAAF Circular Letter M/04/12.


3. ACCREDITATION

3.1 Accreditation Centre The Team Accreditation Centre will be located in the Hotel Expo Barcelona (3rd floor). Opening dates and times will be as follows: • 7 July 15:00 – 19:00 • 8 July 09:00 – 21:00 • 9 July 08:30 – 16:00 3.2 Accreditation Procedures and Payments Team Leader The Team Leader will have to report to the LOC / IAAF Offices at the accreditation centre before collecting his card in order to complete the following formalities: • Uniform Check • Athletes’ Acknowledgement and Agreement Forms • LOC Accommodation Invoice • Travel Reimbursement • IAAF Financial Statement • Photocopy of Athletes’ Passports • Final Confirmation of Entries The Team Leader will be asked to complete the accounting procedures and settle any extra payments (for team members above quota, use of single rooms, extra days, etc.) before he/she can collect his/her accreditation card as well as that of all other team members, which will be given upon presenting a document stating all procedures have been completed. NB: to shorten procedures and avoid delays, it is strongly advisable to submit the rooming list in advance, prior to arrival. Athletes & Team Officials All athletes and team officials shall receive their accreditation from their Team Leader. Athletes travelling without an official will be asked to complete the administration procedure just like the Team Leader. 3.3 Quota and Financial Support 3.3.1 Quota According to an IAAF Council decision, the quota for the 2012 WJC in Barcelona corresponds to the number of finalists (top 8) in the 2010 WJC in Moncton (relay teams count for two athletes) with a maximum of 20. See chart in Appendix. 3.3.2 Travel Support For athletes within the Quota, 100% of an economy class airline ticket from the Member Federation Headquarters to the official airport in Barcelona will be paid by the IAAF. These tickets will be issued preferably by the IAAF, provided Member Federations send their Preliminary Entries and Final Entries by the respective deadlines. If a Member Federation prefers to purchase the airline tickets, the costs of such tickets must be submitted together with the Preliminary Entries and be approved by the IAAF beforehand. Only the approved travel costs will be reimbursed.


Travel costs of athletes outside the Quota and Officials will not be covered by the IAAF or the LOC. 3.3.3 Accommodation Support For athletes within the Quota, the IAAF/LOC will offer free accommodation in twin rooms during the official period (arrival, Sunday 8 July – departure, Monday 16 July), for a maximum of eight nights. Quota athletes requesting single rooms will be charged a supplement (see costs under 4.2). 3.3.4 Reimbursements Reimbursements will be made by bank transfer after the competition. Should a Member Federation exceptionally wish to be refunded in cash or by cheque on site, the President or General Secretary of the Federation must send a written request to the IAAF by 25 June 2012, indicating the reasons for the request and the name of the person authorised to collect the reimbursement and IAAF will advise if this is possible. If an athlete for whom the IAAF/LOC have provided financial support is on site but does not compete, the IAAF/LOC have the right to reclaim the travel and accommodation support. 3.4 Arrivals outside the Accreditation Centre Opening Times Teams or individual athletes arriving prior to 7 July will be handled on a case by case basis. However, the LOC should be informed in advance to make the necessary arrangements. For those Teams arriving at the hotels after the closing of the Accreditation Centre, the Team Leader must proceed to the Team’s Accreditation Centre as soon as practical the next day to finalise the accreditation procedures. 3.5 Special Passes IAAF shall provide special passes as required for the following categories: • Combined Events Rest Room (one per athlete for coach or physiotherapist) • TIC (only for collecting items from the pigeon hole) • Post Event Area (for medical reasons) 3.6 Loss of Accreditation Card The Accreditation Card must be worn visibly at all times and must be presented upon request. It is personal and non‐transferable. In case of loss or theft, please report it immediately to the Teams’ Accreditation Centre or TIC at the Stadium.

6. INFORMATION CENTRES

6.1 Technical Information Centre (Stadium) The TIC is located in the Olympic Stadium, close to the teams’ tribune (see map in Appendix). The main task of the centre is to ensure a smooth liaison between each Delegation and the Local Organising Committee, the IAAF Technical Delegates and the Competition Management of the Championships regarding technical matters. The TIC is in charge of, but not limited to, the following: • Display on the relevant Notice Board of official communications to the teams, including

Start Lists, Results and Call Room reporting times. These will also be displayed at the Warm‐up Area.

• Distribution of Urgent notices to the Delegations from the Technical Delegates and Competition Management via the pigeonholes. It is the Team Leader’s duty to collect this kind of information in due time.

• Receipt of Final Confirmations • Distribution of Relay Order Confirmations (to be returned at Call Room 1) • Receipt of withdrawal forms • Managing National Record Doping Control requests • TIC General enquiries • Written Appeals Opening Dates and Times will be as follows: • Monday, 9 July 09:00 – 19:00 • Tuesday, 10 July – Friday, 13 July 07:30 – 14:30 16:30 ‐ 22:30 • Saturday, 14 July 16:30 – 22:30 • Sunday, 15 March 16:30 – 21:00 This will be the main centre for technical information although certain documents produced in the TIC will also be distributed to the CIDs for circulation. 6.2 Championships Information Desk (Hotels) These will be situated in each of the Team Hotels and will be linked to each other as well as to the TIC. They shall be in charge of, but not limited to, the following: • Display on the relevant Notice Board of official communications to the teams, including

Start Lists, Results and Call Room reporting times. • Distribution of Urgent notices to the Delegations from the Technical Delegates and

Competition Management via the pigeonholes. It is the Team Leader’s duty to collect this kind of information in due time.

• Receipt of written questions for the Technical Meeting (deadline 09:00, 9 July) • Distribution of information for issues relating to accommodation, meals, transport and

the Championships in general. 6.3 IAAF Competitions Department Offices Staff from the IAAF Competitions Department will be in Barcelona to assist the LOC with the final preparation and conduct of the Championships and the teams with their participation. They can be contacted as follows: • 7 to 9 July Teams Accreditation Centre • 10 to 15 July IAAF Competitions Office at the Olympic Stadium– can

be contacted through the TIC


6.4 Document Distribution The protection of the environment is becoming increasingly important in everybody’s life and the IAAF and LOC are trying to do their part. At recent Championships initiatives have been taken that reflect a commitment to find ways to contribute to the global environment and more will be taken in the future. With today’s media and communication technology, saving paper may seem an obvious way to contribute but many of us are still reluctant to adapt, especially when it comes to start lists and results which, for IAAF World Athletics Series Competitions, are systematically published on the IAAF website even before they are available in hard copy. The World Junior Championships Barcelona 2012 are no exception and this is why every effort will be made to reduce the amount of printed material distributed to the Teams through their pigeon holes at the Technical Information Centre (TIC) at the Stadium or at the Championships Information Desks (CID) at the Team Hotels. In practice this means that the distribution of competition related information at the TIC and CID will NOT be systematically made through printouts in the Team pigeonholes but will be displayed on the notice boards (also available at the warm‐up Area). It will still be possible to request occasional copies of specific event start lists and / or results (at the TIC). Important notices of general interest (e.g. changes to the timetable) will also be displayed on the Posting Board while individual communications to specific teams will be posted through the pigeon holes. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your cooperation and for your contribution to this important cause. A Final Results Book will be produced and distributed to all Teams and guests prior to departure.


7. COMPETITION FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT AND IMPLEMENTS

7.1 Olympic Stadium The Championships will take place in the “Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys de Montjuïc”, Barcelona’s Olympic Stadium, built in 1927 and venue of the 1992 Olympic Games. It is located in the Anella Olímpica, in Montjuïc, a large hill to the southwest of the city which overlooks the harbour. The stadium has undergone a major renovation in 2010 and showcases a new track as well as state‐of‐the‐art facilities which include: • Mondo Track Surface (Mondotrack) • 400m oval track (9 lanes) • Two High Jump sites • Two Pole Vault sites • Two Long/Triple Jump runways • Two Shot Put sites • One Discus/Hammer Throw site • One Javelin Throw runway The rest area for the Combined Events will be situated under the main tribune of the Olympic Stadium, at track level, and will be accessible by team coaches and physiotherapists with the appropriate pass 7.2 Warm‐up Areas The official Warm‐up venue will be at the Pau Negre stadium which has a 6 lane track and all other required facilities. It was renovated in 2010 and is located 150m from the Olympic Stadium, to which it will be linked by a temporary bridge built over the road to avoid athletes having to cross the busy street when moving from the Warm‐up to the Stadium. The Warm‐up venue for the Long Throws will be at the Serrahima stadium. This will be for all throwing events including Shot Put. It is located 1.5 km from the Olympic Stadium and shuttle buses will be used to transport the athletes and coaches. Though it will not be obligatory for throwers to warm‐up at the Serrahima, all throwers shall be required to report to Call Room 1 at the Pau Negre stadium before going to the final Call Room. A PA system will announce approaching reporting times at both the Pau Negre and Serrahima venues to make sure no athletes fail to go to the Pau Negre for the first, obligatory, call. See maps in Appendix for detailed layouts. 7.3 Training There will be three training venues which will be used according to the teams’ accommodation sites. To be noted that once the competition starts, the Pau Negre and Serrahima Stadiums will be used as warm‐up areas. See maps in Appendix for detailed description of the stadiums and facilities. LOC personnel will be available at the training venues to assist. Athletes are advised to follow the instructions given by the personnel and to pay particular attention to safety rules during the training sessions. Further information regarding the training area will be available from the Championships Information Desk.


Implements, equipment (hurdles, starting blocks) and relay batons will be available to athletes and coaches at the official training venues. These can be obtained from the equipment store and athletes/coaches using the equipment will be asked to leave their accreditation card with the LOC personnel in charge. Pole Vault will train only in Mar Bella stadium. If it’s necessary, transport will be provided for the athletes staying in the hotel cluster west of the City. 7.3.1 Mar Bella Stadium This facility was renovated in 2010 and, with a 400m track and sites for all field events, will cater for training in all events except for the long throws. There are also weight training facilities available and space for physiotherapy. In principle it will be used by all teams staying in the hotel cluster east of the City.

8. ENTRIES AND FINAL CONFIRMATIONS

8.1 Entry Standards and Entry Rules The entry standards were approved by the IAAF Council in August 2011. Member Federations may participate with up to two athletes in each event provided both have achieved the required standard. There are no entry standards for the Relays so Member Federations may enter one team of maximum six athletes in each race. Any four athletes among those entered for the competition, whether for the relay or for any other event, may then be used in the composition of the team for the first round. Members who have no male and/or no female qualified athletes whom they wish to enter may enter one unqualified male athlete and/or one unqualified female athlete in one event of the Championships (except the Combined Events, 10,000m, 3000m Steeplechase and 5000m Women). Member Federations who have no male and/or no female qualified athlete but whose best athlete excels in a field event, may submit to the IAAF, by the time of the Preliminary Entry deadline, the name(s) of their athlete(s) plus performance(s) they would like to enter in the field events. The Technical Delegates will make the final decision and, to do so, may seek the opinion of the relevant Area Association. If the host country of the World Championships does not have an athlete qualified in an event, it may enter one athlete in these events regardless of any entry standard. See Appendix for full details. 8.2 Final Entries The IAAF on‐line Event Entry System will be available from 21 May for the Final Entries (http://evententry.iaaf.org). The deadline for completing and submitting the Entries is 25 June 2012 (midnight Monaco Time). Please note that, in an attempt to help Member Federations, an extended qualification period of one week has been agreed. This means that Member Federations must submit their names, including reserves, and all other relevant information (names of officials, travel details and accommodation needs) by 25 June 2012 but would be allowed to make any changes to the composition of their team up to one week later, 2 July 2012. Please note that this is NOT an obligation but an option which some Member Federations may wish to take advantage of. No changes or additions will be accepted after the closing date. Technical Delegates may request Member Federations to submit a copy of the official results of the event where the qualifying performances have been achieved. 8.3 Final Confirmations 8.3.1 General Teams will receive the Final Confirmation Forms upon arrival in Barcelona and Team Leaders, or their representatives, must confirm the names of those athletes already entered who will actually take part in the competition.


For events held on 10 July, Final Confirmation of Entries must be made before 12:00 am (midday) 9 July and, for all subsequent days, before 9:00 am on the day before the event. It will also be possible for Teams to confirm their athletes upon arrival during the accreditation procedure at the Accreditation Centre. 8.3.2 Relays The final composition of the relay teams and the order of running must be declared at Call Room 1 (Pau Negre Stadium) no later than one hour before the published 1st Call Time for the event (IAAF Rule 170.18). Once the team has taken part in the event, only two (2) additional athletes may take part in the Final. Substitutes may only be taken from the list of entered athletes, whether for the relay or for any other event. 8.3.3 Failure to participate Any athlete who, after the final confirmation has been given, or after qualifying during a qualifying round or a heat for any event, fails to participate in the event without giving a valid reason (e.g. a medical certificate issued by the official doctor of the Championships), shall be excluded from participation in all further events in the competition, including relays (see IAAF Rule 142.4). 8.4 Withdrawals Withdrawals after final confirmation have to be submitted, on the official Withdrawal Form, to the TIC. The reason for the withdrawal has to be specified in detail, being its acceptance the responsibility of the Technical Delegates based on the IAAF Rules. 8.5 Athlete Acknowledgement and Agreement As announced in Circular M/24/09 dated 29 July 2009, each athlete competing in an IAAF World Athletics Series Competition must have an appropriately filled in and signed copy of the Athlete Acknowledgement and Agreement on file at the IAAF. All athletes competing in the IAAF World Junior Championships must sign and submit this acknowledgement, as soon as possible, but by no later than the Final Entry deadline (25 June 2012). IAAF Member Federations are obliged to submit one for each entered athlete (email: athletes‐[email protected] or fax: + 377 93159515). The Athlete Acknowledgement and Agreement Form can be found in Appendix. Note: Athletes who have already submitted their Agreement in 2010 and 2011, do not need to send it again.


9. COMPETITION PROCEDURES

9.1 Technical Meeting The Technical Meeting will take place on Monday 9 July at 12:00 at the Palau S. Jordi Club (next to the Olympic Stadium). As usual, no more than two representatives from each participating Member Federation (and in addition an interpreter or attaché if required) may attend the meeting. The Technical Delegates will preside over the meeting, which will be conducted in English. The meeting will provide updates and new information which is not already mentioned in this Team Manual and will include: • Timetable amendments (if any) • Progressions and raising of the bar • Answers to written questions Written Questions Any enquiries concerning the Championships must be made in writing (in English or French). These questions will be answered at the Technical Meeting. The forms on which the questions must be written will be distributed upon your arrival at the Accreditation Centre. These forms must be returned to the Championships Information Desk in the Team Hotels or at the Teams’ Accreditation Centre (IAAF Competitions Office) no later than 09:00 on Monday 9 July. No questions will be accepted during the Technical Meeting. 9.2 Orientation Visit for Team Leaders There will be a visit organised to the Olympic Stadium and Warm‐up Area on Monday 9 July at 11:00, in order for the Team Leaders to familiarise with the exact location and the main facilities (changing rooms, Warm‐up area, Call Room, interview room, etc.). More information with regard to this visit, including transport arrangements, will be available at the Championships Information Desks. 9.3 Timetable The timetable for Barcelona 2012 was approved by the IAAF Council in August 2011 and can be found in Appendix. This includes a provisional schedule for the Medal Ceremonies (MC). Please note that the start of the afternoon session on 10 July (first day of competition) will now be at 18:00 and no longer at 18:30. Information on any other changes to the Official Timetable shall be provided at the Technical Meeting and through the TIC. 9.4 Athletes’ Bibs The Bibs shall be distributed during the Accreditation procedure. Bibs which are not collected shall be taken to the Stadium TIC on Tuesday morning. All athletes will receive three bibs, which shall coincide with the information written in the start list. Every athlete must wear two bibs during the competition. In the Pole Vault and High Jump, it is possible to wear only one bib on the front or on the back. The third bib can be placed on the bag or on the tracksuit. The front bib (with the transponder) for the athletes in the race walks and long distance events will be handed out at Call Room 2. The bibs for the relays (carrying the country code – e.g. “ESP”) shall be handed out at Call Room 2. Bibs must be worn in accordance with IAAF Rules and must not be cut, folded or obscured in any way. Failure to comply with the Rules may result in a disqualification or sanction.


Track athletes must also wear the hip numbers provided at Call Room 2. 9.5 Athletes’ Clothing All athletes must wear the official national uniform approved by their Delegation. IAAF Rule 143.1 recommends that the front and the back of the uniforms should have the same colour. The uniforms will be checked upon arrival in the Team Accreditation Centre. Any infringement of the Rules may result in the disqualification of the athlete. Athletes not wearing their official team uniform will be required to acquire the correct attire before they progress through the Call Room. Any advertising on clothes and bags must comply with IAAF Rules and Regulations. Please note that the IAAF Advertising Rules and Regulations applicable for this competition specify a maximum of 30 cm2 for the Manufacturer's logo on the competition wear and 40 cm2 on sweatshirts, T‐shirts and jackets. The name/Logo of a national sponsor may be displayed, according to the same dimensions as set out above, instead of one of the national team or Member Federation Logo or flag on the national vest/leotard provided that such national sponsor is not a competitor of a Sponsor of the IAAF or of the event. For Barcelona 2012, these are the following: • adidas (clothing) • SEIKO (Watches, Clock) • SINOPEC (petroleum) • TDK (consumer electronics) • VTB (bank) For the purpose of avoiding conflicts on site, Member Federations are strongly advised to seek approval from the IAAF. 9.6 Personal Belongings Athletes (including Combined Events) will only be permitted to take a backpack or similar sized bag with them into the field of play. Combined Events athletes may bring larger bags but they must be left in the rest area during the events. A strict inspection shall be made on illegal and prohibited items, which athletes may have in their possession. Cassette recorders, radios, CD/MP3 players, mobile phones, cameras, etc. shall not be permitted. Any items that do not conform to the IAAF Technical and/or Advertising Rules and Regulations will be confiscated. Confiscated items may be retrieved at the TIC after the event. 9.7 Call Room Procedures Call Room 1 will be situated at the Pau Negre Warm‐up Area. All athletes will be required to report here according to the scheduled reporting times as noted below. These reporting times will be shown on the electronic display at the Pau Negre Warm‐up Area and announced over the PA system, also at the Serrahima Throws Warm‐up Area. In any case, all athletes must pass through Call Room 1 at the Pau Negre Warm‐up track. Athletes who fail to appear on time at Call Room 1 without a valid reason may be excluded from participating in this and all further events in the Championships, including Relays. Team officials are not allowed to enter the Call Rooms.


Entry to Call Room 1 Event Open (1st Call) Close At Competition Site Track events 40 30 10 High Jump 70 60 40 Pole Vault 90 80 60 Other Field Events 60 50 30 Relays 45 35 15

All times are prior to the actual starting time of the event. A dedicated, heat by heat, call‐up schedule will be issued once Final Entries are confirmed and displayed at the Warm‐up Area. Call Room 2 will be located inside the stadium, at the end of the indoor track. Exit onto the track will be near the 100m start. Athletes who compete in Combined Events shall report to Call Room 1 on each of the relevant days of the competition, before the first event of each day (the Reporting Times above shall apply depending on the event). The athletes’ control for the subsequent events will take place in the Rest Room before the start of each event. The procedures in Call Room 2 shall be as follows: • Identification of Athletes by means of their accreditation card and bib number. • Checking of Athletes’ Uniform • Inspection of personal belongings • Checking of Shoe Spikes (number, shape and size) for compliance with IAAF Rule 143.3

and 143.4. The maximum sizes allowed are: o All events: not more than 9 mm o High Jump and Javelin Throw: not more than 12 mm

If they do not comply with IAAF Rules, the athletes will be asked to change them to the correct size.

After completion of these procedures, athletes should follow the instructions given by the officials at the Call Rooms. Team Leaders must ensure that all their athletes comply with the above before entering the Call Rooms to avoid delays. 9.8 Track Events The starter’s commands will be given in English. Hip numbers will be provided at Call Room 2. A practice session with the official starters and starting blocks is scheduled for Monday 9 July at 11:30. 9.9 Field Events 9.9.1 Trials 12 athletes will normally compete in the final of all field events. In Horizontal Jumps and Throws, the competing order for the fourth, fifth and final rounds of trials shall be in the reverse ranking order recorded after the first three rounds of trials.


9.9.2 Pole Vault An athlete shall, before the competition starts, inform the appropriate official of the position of the crossbar he requires for his first trial and this position shall be recorded. If subsequently an athlete wants to make any changes, he should immediately inform the appropriate official before the crossbar has been set in accordance with his initial wishes. Failure to do this shall lead to the start of his time limit. 9.9.3 Coaching Zones In the curves and in the back straight tribunes, seating is free and no special passes for coaches will be provided. 9.10 Timing and Measurement Official timing and measurement will be provided by SEIKO. Transponder timing will be used for the race walks and for long distance events to provide split times and assist with the lap scoring. The front bib (with the transponder) for the athletes in the race walks and long distance events will be handed out at Call Room 2. More details will be provided at the Technical Meeting. Video Distance Measurement (VDM) will be used as the official measurement system to determine the results in the horizontal jumps. The length of the jump is read from images captured by high definition cameras. Similar to reading a photo finish image, the official works on a monitor screen showing a magnified picture of the landing area and placing the cursor on the mark in the sand thereby determining the distance. All trials of all athletes are recorded and stored in the system. 9.11 Post Competition Procedures All athletes will leave the field of play via the Mixed Zone. In the Mixed Zone, the Media may conduct short interviews. Please note that the first three athletes in each final may also be required to attend the formal interview. After passing through the Mixed Zone, athletes move to the Post Event Area where they will be able to recover and collect their clothing. One Official per team will have access to this area in order to contact the athlete in case of urgent need. Here athletes will also be notified for eventual doping control and be informed of medal ceremony arrangements. From here they can then return to the warm‐up area (and eventually to the hotel) or to go to the team seats. 9.12 Medal Ceremonies The first three athletes in each individual event and the first three teams in each relay race will be presented with a gold, silver and bronze medal. The medal presentations will usually take place before the doping control procedures. LOC staff will be responsible to gather the first three athletes or relay teams and escort them to the ceremony waiting area where they will wait for the ceremony. When a delegation competes in relay semi‐finals and finals with more than four athletes, only the four athletes in the final will be awarded medals during the official ceremony. The other athletes will receive their medals later. The athletes must wear their delegation’s official uniform at Medal Ceremonies. During the playing of the anthem and the raising of the flags, they shall face the flags and conduct themselves in a dignified manner at all times. Where practical, the Medal Ceremonies will be held on the same day as the event. For those


held on the following day, athletes shall report to the TIC no later than 20 minutes before the scheduled ceremony time. See provisional medal ceremonies schedule under Timetable in Appendix. 9.13 Protests and Appeals Protests and Appeals shall be handled according to IAAF Rule 146, an extract of which appears hereunder. Protests and appeals shall be handled by the TIC at the Stadium. 9.13.1 Protests Protests concerning the result or conduct of an event shall be made within 30 minutes of the official announcement of the result of that event. The Organising Committee of the competition shall be responsible for ensuring that the time of the announcement of all results is recorded. Any protest shall, in the first instance, be made orally to the Referee by an athlete, by someone acting on his behalf or by an official representative of a team. Such person or team may protest only if they are competing in the same round of the event to which the protest (or subsequent appeal) relates (or are competing in a competition in which a team points score is being conducted). To arrive at a fair decision, the Referee should consider any available evidence which he thinks necessary, including a film or picture produced by an official video recorder, or any other available video evidence. The Referee may decide on the protest or may refer the matter to the Jury. If the Referee makes a decision, there shall be a right of appeal to the Jury. Where the Referee is not accessible or available, the protest should be made to him through the Technical Information Centre. 9.13.2 Appeals An appeal to the Jury of Appeal must be made within 30 minutes: (a) of the official announcement of the amended result of an event arising from the decision made by the Referee; or (b) of the advice being given to those making the protest, where there is no amendment of any result. It shall be in writing, signed by the athlete, by someone acting on his behalf or by an official representative of a team and shall be accompanied by a deposit of USD 100 / EUR 75, which will be forfeited if the appeal is not allowed. Such athlete or team may appeal only if they are competing in the same round of the event to which the appeal relates (or are competing in a competition on which a team points score is being conducted). Note: The relevant Referee shall, after his decision on a protest, immediately inform the TIC of the time of the decision. If the Referee was unable to communicate this orally to the relevant team(s) /athlete (s), the official time of the announcement will be that of posting the decision at the TIC.
