The NCS/Les Schwab Tires Cross Country Championships will be conducted in five (5) divisions. Schools must compete in the
division determined by their school’s 2014 Total Enrollment for grades 9, 10, 11 and 12; unless a school incurs a gain/loss of
enrollment of a minimum of fifteen (15) percent in the current year, then the October 2015 Total Enrollment figures shall be
used (per CIF Bylaws).
NO Petitioning Up – Schools must participate in the division that has been established by their respective CIF Section using the
previous years’ Total Enrollment figures. Although the State CIF now allows petitioning, NCS member school have chosen to not
allow petitioning in cross country.
CHIP TIMING
The NCS/Les Schwab Tires Cross Country Championships will utilize chip timing in 2015.
1. The runners will each have corresponding timing chips, one attached to each shoe. Directions on this procedure will be
given at packet pick‐up, and can also be viewed on page 7 in this bulletin. The corresponding bib numbers will also be in
the packet and will be required to be worn on chest with 4 pins. ALL ATHLETES MUST WEAR THE CORRESPONDING
SAME NUMBERED CHIPS AND BIB NUMBER. If you have any extra chips that your team did not turn in either before
the race starts or at the end of their race (i.e. runner not participating or runner not finishing race, etc.), you must
return those chips at the finish line or your school will be billed $25 per non‐returned chip ($50 per runner).
2. The finish corral will be composed of mat‐like sensors. The runners are to run across all mats and continue running
approximately 10 feet beyond the last mat.
3. They are to then disperse and remove the timing chips from their shoes and return them before leaving the corral. We
will make every attempt to not allow athletes to leave the corral until their chips have been turned in.
4. There will be no collection of bib numbers.
2
5. Each school will be billed $25 for each lost or non‐returned chip ($50 per runner). The NCS will collect this fee from
each school not returning a chip(s).
