DRUG TESTING

NCAA championships committees, following a recommendation from the NCAA drug-testing subcommittee, have discontinued the practice of announcing whether drug testing will be conducted at NCAA championship events.

Although knowing prior to competition whether NCAA drug testing was to occur had value for reasons of convenience, it left open the possibility that student-athletes might be tempted to use banned substances if they knew that NCAA testing was not being conducted at the site of competition.

Therefore, all coaches and student-athletes should presume that NCAA drug testing will occur at this championships event. Please inform your student-athletes that in the event they are notified of their selection for drug testing, the student-athlete must inform an official representative of your institution (e.g., coach, athletic trainer) before proceeding to the drug-testing site. Student-athletes will be reminded by the courier to contact their team representative. If drug testing were to occur, the following format would be followed:

# Tested: Division III – 96

Test Plan: Winner and random participant from individual events; winning team and one random from relay after student-athlete’s last event of that day.

MEDICAL CREDENTIALS Athletic trainers or team physicians traveling with their student-athletes should contact Todd Miller (see contact information below) in order to secure a team medical credential. This request must be made no later than Monday, May 19. Upon arrival, the AT or MD must present a photo ID in the Selby Stadium athletic training room in order to receive their credential.

Per NCAA regulations, this credential will allow access to any of our athletic training facilities and into the competition area only under the following conditions:

1. Your credential is visible

2. Your student-athlete is injured

If your team is traveling without an athletic trainer or physician, please provide the necessary supplies and documentation. A letter from an AT or MD detailing treatment parameters will be needed for any modalities other than ice related treatments. Each team is expected to bring a fully stocked medical kit with emergency contact and insurance information. Additionally, if your student-athlete requires specific treatment before practice or competition or post-competition, please contact the host medical staff well in advance of the championships so they can try and accommodate your needs.

MEDICAL FACILITIES There are several areas that credentialed student-athletes and credentialed team medical personnel will have access to before, during and following the championships.

1. Selby Athletic Training Room is the main athletic training facility located at the Selby Stadium, which is located underneath the West Stands of Selby Stadium. The main athletic training facility will be supplied with electrical stimulation, ultrasound, combination stim/US,

MEDICAL DISQUALIFICATION As the event sponsor, the NCAA has valid authority to ensure that all student-athletes are physically fit to participate in its championships and that a student-athlete’s participation will not expose other participants to a significantly enhanced risk of harm. The student-athlete’s team physician can determine whether an individual with an injury, an illness or other medical condition (e.g., skin infection, pregnancy) should continue to participate or be disqualified. In the absence of a team physician, the NCAA tournament physician, as designated by the host school, has the unchallengeable authority to examine the student-athlete and make a decision of continued participation or medical disqualification. If, in the opinion of the tournament physician, continued participation by the injured student-athlete may expose others to a significantly enhanced risk of

20 harm, the tournament physician has the final decision regarding participation by the student- athlete. The chair of the governing sports committee (or a designated representative) should be responsible for administrative enforcement of the medical judgment, if it involves disqualification. Please refer all medical and athletic training related questions to the medical director listed below. Good luck during the championships.

TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATIONS

TRANSPORTATION Any participating institution located within 500 miles of the competition site must drive. Please note mileage is calculated using the shortest route through the NCAA’s Travel Expense System (TES)

23 (https://web1.ncaa.org/TES/exec/login?js=true. Click on Mileage Calculator underneath the Login area). All transportation needs will be the responsibility of the participating team.

Any institution over 500 miles is permitted to fly and all airline reservations must be made through Short’s Travel Management (866/655-9215). The participating institution shall be completely responsible for making its own travel reservations. Institutions can also enter travel manifest and other travel party information through the travel portal at www.shortstravel.com/ncaachamps.

If an institution is eligible to use air transportation to the site of the championship, and there is a major airport located within 150 miles of the championship site, then the participating institution is required to fly into/out of that airport and utilize ground transportation to and from the site of competition. This also applies if the originating airport isolated within 150 miles of the participating institution’s campus.

This policy only applies when airfare is less expensive from the more distant airport. In addition, the NCAA travel staff will have discretion to increase the hub rule mileage if necessary and reasonable. When teams competing in individual-team sports are eligible to fly to the competition site, the institutions will be allowed to book travel before the official selection announcement. However, should you pre-book and any of your travelers not qualify for reimbursement, your institution will be billed for the cost of those tickets after the championship is completed. If an institution is eligible to use air transportation, they may choose to drive to the site of competition due to difficulties in arranging air travel. Should this occur, the institution will be reimbursed the lesser of what airfare would have cost, or the eligible ground transportation. For individual-team sports, eligible ground transportation is mileage per person.

The Columbus (CMH) airport is the most convenient airport located 28 miles away from campus. Some of the other airports in the area are: • Toledo Express Airport (TOL) • Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) • James M. Cox Dayton International Airport (DAY) • Akron-Canton Regional Airport (CAK)

LODGING Please see Appendix G for on- and off-campus lodging.

DINING Please see Appendix H for dining options.

UNIFORMS

BIBS Competition bibs for each participating student-athlete will be included in each team’s packet along with eight (8) safety pins per competitor. These bibs must be worn on the front and the back of the

24 uniform jersey during competition. In the pole vault, the bibs should be worn on the back only. In the high jump, the bib should be worn on the front only. Designated hip numbers will be given to each track event athlete at the clerking area. For relays, all runners will receive numbers. Numbers shall be placed on the uniform shorts/briefs (not on the skin) and on the chest.

HIP NUMBERS Hip numbers will be provided for all races. For student-athletes competing in races not finishing in lanes (400m and up), three numbers will be given to each student-athlete. The third number should be on the left chest. For relays, all runners will receive numbers.

UNIFORMS When engaged in competition, each competitor must wear an official team uniform with components governed by these rules or be subject to disqualification. Wearing any part of the official team competition uniform illegally while in the area of competition shall lead to a warning by the nearest official. A repeated violation may result in disciplinary action. A report of uncorrected violations shall be made to the referee and offending competitor’s coach.

A uniform consists of two school-issued components – shorts or briefs, and a top. A one-piece body suit is acceptable as a combination of the two components. Any outer garment that is school-issued becomes the official uniform when worn.

The uniform must be of a material and design deemed to not be objectionable or offensive by the athletics department of the issuing institution.

The uniform top must, by design and size, cover the full length of the torso, meeting or hanging below the waistband of the bottoms, while the competitor is standing, and allow for the competitors’ numbers to be placed above the waist, front and back.

Uniform tops must be worn so to not obscure hip numbers. Additional visible clothing is an undergarment. It must be worn under the uniform and be of a solid color. The use of, or wearing of, artificial noisemakers by competitors is prohibited.

Individual or team uniform, logo, number and shoe rules shall be enforced through inspection by the clerk or the head field event official at initial event check-in. Violators shall be warned, given the chance to correct the violation and reported to the referee. A report of uncorrected violations shall be made to the referee and offending competitor’s coach.

All relay team members must wear uniforms clearly indicating, through color, logo and combination of all worn outer garments, that members are from the same team.

Visible undergarments on the top worn by team members must be of an identical solid color. Visible undergarments on the bottom must be of an identical solid color.

25 LOGO POLICY An institution’s official uniform and all other items of apparel (e.g., team jersey, socks) that are worn by student-athletes in competition may bear a single manufacturer’s or distributor’s normal trademark, not to exceed 2¼ square inches, including any additional material (e.g. patch surrounding the normal trademark or logo). The logo or trademark must be contained within a four- sided geometrical figure (i.e., rectangle, square, parallelogram).

In addition, an institution’s official uniform cannot bear a design element similar to the manufacturer’s that is in addition to another logo or that is contrary to the size restriction.

A student-athlete representing an institution in intercollegiate competition is limited to wearing apparel items that include only the logo of an apparel manufacturer or distributor. This restriction shall not include logos that identify the student-athlete’s institution or conference.

These restrictions apply to all apparel worn by student-athletes during the conduct of competition, including pre-meet or post-meet activities.
