31 Appendix 3 Lane and Starting Order Races up to 400m inclusively and relays will be staged in two heats. The second heat (A) will contain the top athletes/relays. The distribution of athletes per heat will be as follows: For the races up to 400m inclusively the heats are being arranged by considering as much information as possible about the performances of all athletes and the heats drawn so that, normally, the best performers compete in the same heat. In principle the distribution will be based on the athletes season best performances. Previous year s season best, personal best performance and medals achieved at major events can be also considered by the Technical Delegate for the purpose of the distribution per heats. The final distribution is under the discretion of the Technical Delegate. For the 4x100m and 4x400m relays the teams distribution per heat will be according to the teams scoring standings 1 (one) hour before the scheduled time for each event. The best scored teams will compete in the same heat which shall be the last event of the session of track events. In case of a tie between athletes in the different heats for races up to 400m inclusively and relays the photo finish judge shall consider the actual times to the 1/1000th of a second. If the tie cannot be broken the attributable points shall be divided equally between them. Lanes will be allocated to top three athletes/relay teams whereas lanes 2 & 6 will be allocated to the remaining athletes/relay teams. Lane 1 (and 6 for the first heat in Women races) will not be used. In 800m all athletes will start in lanes (2 athletes in lane 1, 3, 4 & 6 in case of 10 teams and 1, 3 and 6 in case of 9 teams according to draw) The Technical Delegate will conduct the draw of the lane allocation after the final confirmations for 100m, 200m, 400m, 110m H, 100m H and 400m H. For the relay races the Technical Delegate conducts the draw one hour before the scheduled time for each race. For allocation of lanes and order of attempts in all other events was decided by a draw conducted by the Technical Delegate. Each participating club team was allocated with a letter which determined the lanes and starting order, in accordance with the appropriate chart of European Athletics Competition Regulations. Please, see below for Men and Women teams allocation. Page 31 of 34
