CROSS COUNTRY BOYS AND GIRLS – Every team has the responsibility of clearly marking its course, whether by guides who know the course, maps, of freshly painted markers. The start and finish lines should be clearly indicated. Opponents must be notified of course changes by the first meet of the season. Maps are available upon request 1 week prior to the meet. Each visiting team has the option of notifying the home team, one week before the meet, of its intention to practice on the home course as he sees fit on an agreed day. Failure to notify the home team one week prior the the race, the visiting team shall forfeit this option. All runners must wear their school colors in full view. They must wear a complete uniform. Scoring a dual meet will involve the total score of the first five runners from each team. The 6th and 7th men/women will not figure in the scoring, but will displace. Thus a tie score would be broken by the sixth man/women rule. Team must have a minimum of 5 runners. Any team with less than 5 must forfeit meet. If time allows you may walk course. Meet Director to be hired by CAL for final meet, if necessary, with the responsibilities as delegated by League. League to have EMT/Trainer present at CAL Open. If water stations are set-up, water must be available for both teams. RUNNER OF THE YEAR will be based on the dual meet season. No restrictions on number of participants in a meet unless limited by size of starting area.
