Implements

Throwing Implements
Personal Implements

Athletes will be permitted to use their own implements for competition provided they pass implement inspection.  All personal implement should have the name of the athlete on them.  Please do not leave implement bags or containers.   Meet organizers will provide a limited supply of implements for use by competitors, during competition, not wishing to use their own implements or whose implements have not passed inspection. All throwing implements must be inspected prior to competition.  Personal implements, once approved for competition, lose their identity as privately owned implements for the duration of the competition and may be used by any competitor.   Once implements are checked in they are impounded. Athletes may pick up their implements at the Implement Inspection Room about a half hour after the completion of the competition.  Implements not picked up by Sunday at 3 pm will be retained by the LOC.  No modification may be made to any implement during the competition.    

Implements that do not comply with certification specifications shall be impounded for the duration of the event.  A list of non-certified implements will be available at the Implement Inspection Room as the information becomes available. An implement to be used in more than one event must be picked up and then turned in again.
                                      
Equipment bags will be inspected. Athletes will not be allowed to have any implements in equipment bags taken to the Field of Play.  Athletes should not bring practice implements to Hornet Stadium, particularly on the day of their competition. Any implements will be removed when the athlete first checks-in at the clerking area.  Implements may be retrieved after competition is completed.  All implements must be marked with the athlete’s name.

Implement Check-In  

Implements must be presented at the Implement Inspection Room, located on the west side of The Well at the Athlete Competition Gate. All implements must be turned in no later than 3 hours prior to the scheduled start of the event.  In some cases the three hours minimum may mean that an athlete must turn his/her implement in the night before the event.  The Well is located just north of the track.  Implements will be impounded until completion of competition.  All implements must be marked with the athlete’s name.  Athletes must provide their own implements for practice.
