If that is not practical, lots shall be drawn to determine who shall be placed in the next round. Where qualifying for the next round is based on place and time, i.e., the first three in each of two heats plus the next two fastest, and there is a tie for the last qualifying position based on place, placing the tied athletes in the next round shall reduce the number of athletes qualifying based on time. 2. In case of a tie for any place in any final, including first place, the tie shall remain. Rule 180 Field Event Ties In the case of a tie in a jumping event, the following shall apply: A tie in first place shall result in a jump off 16

Any tie in a place that is competing for Team Selection shall jump off, but that jump off will not affect final standings All other places shall remain tied In the case of a tie in a Throwing Event or Horizontal Jump event, the following shall apply: A tie shall be broken using the Second Best performance of the competitors; if necessary, the Third Beest performance, etc. Any tie in a place that is competing for Team Selection will use the same tie breaker as above. If the athletes remain tied after applying the above, then an additional effort will break the tie. All other places shall remain tied. PROTESTS & APPEALS Protest Procedures Initial protests related to events occurring during the competition should be expressed orally and immediately by the athlete to the head of the event. Subsequently the protest must be formally made in writing, at the Protest Table either by the athlete or an athlete's representative (who has an athlete support credential) on behalf of the athlete. The protest must be completed, signed and submitted at the protest table no later than 30 minutes after the official posting of the results on USATF s website at www.usatf.org and must be accompanied by a $50.00 cash protest fee. The protest fee is non-refundable unless the decision is reversed. Protest forms will be available at the Protest Table which is located at the southwest corner of the warm-up area (see map). The referee's decision will be posted at the Protest Table and a copy will made available for the athlete, or athlete s representative, filing the protest as soon as the information is available. Appeal Procedures If an athlete or his or her representative (who has an athlete support credential) wishes to appeal the referee's decision, an appeal must be submitted in writing, signed and accompanied by a $100.00 cash appeal fee at the protest table, immediately and within 30 minutes after the action by the Referee has been officially posted. The appeal fee is non-refundable unless the appeal is upheld. Appeal forms will be available at the Protest Table located at the southwest corner of the warm-up area (see map). An appeal must be filed only by an athlete or an athlete's representative (who has an athlete support credential) on behalf of the athlete. The jury of appeal's decision will be posted at the Protest Table and a copy will be available for the athlete or athlete representative filing the appeal as soon as a decision regarding the appeal is made. 17

DRUG TESTING Athletes who participate in the competition are subject to drug testing performed by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in accordance with the USADA Protocol for Olympic Movement Testing. Athletes selected for doping control will be asked to sign a consent form when they arrive in the Post Event Area and will be assigned a doping chaperone who will remain with the athlete until they arrive at the Doping Control Center. An athlete has one hour before he/she must report to doping control which is in The Well at the north end of the track. An athlete can ask to have one representative with a Registered Coach, Warm-Up Pass, or Stadium Pass credential to accompany them. BE ALERT - Knowing your rights and responsibilities may save you from making a mistake that could jeopardize your athletic career. The use of ALL dietary supplements is at the athlete s own risk of committing a doping violation. Please see page 50 of the Guide to Prohibited Substance and Prohibited Methods of Doping (PDF) (www.usada.org/go/prohibitedguide) for additional information on dietary supplements. Check out the Test Alert Card (PDF) (www.usada.org/go/testaleart) for key details every athlete should know prior to competing. BE AWARE - Testing may take place at any time or after any round- preliminary, qualifying, or final. USADA typically selects place finishers and random athletes. Athletes have 60 minutes from the time they are notified of being selected for testing to arrive at the Doping Control Station and will be accompanied by a chaperone during that time. BE CLEAN - Checking to see if the medication you take is allowed could be the difference between passing your test and serving a doping ban. A search on USADA s easy-to-use Drug Reference Online (www.usada.org/dro) or a quick call to USADA s Drug Reference Line (1-800- 233-0393) and following-up with any necessary forms is all it takes to pass with flying colors. BE INFORMED - Watching the USADA s short testing video will familiarize you with the drug testing process (www.usada.org/what/process/). When making travel arrangements please allow enough time for drug testing at the end of your event. This will include providing a sample and processing paperwork. The adjudication of anti-doping rule violations or refusals to test will be carried out by USADA. Athletes found to have committed a doping violation will be disciplined according to penalties specified by the World Anti-Doping Code and, if appropriate, applicable IAAF rules. Such penalties may result in a period of ineligibility as well as disqualification from an event. 18
