Venue
The venue for this year's competitions has changed. Since the 1999 NCAA Indoor Championships were completed, Indianapolis has put its 200-meter, banked Mondo track in storage because there had not been a coordinated effort to find a home for it. We have worked together with many Indianapolis community partners and found it a temporary home and will be using it this indoor season.

Registration
Collegiate Teams
Registration for collegiate teams will be done utilizing Hy-Tek's Team Manager program. If you do not already own this program, you can download Hy-Tek's Team Manager Lite directly from their website to use. We have put together complete instructions on how to utilize this program for entering our meets. A few of the benefits involved:
Less Work For You- Especially if you plan on entering more than 1 competition this year where Hy-Tek for Windows is used as the meet management program. You will type in your roster ONE TIME and never have to type it in again. Butler alone will be hosting 5 meets (indoor & outdoor) this year, so if you are planning on attending more than one of our meets, this will save you time.
Even if you are not planning on attending any of our other meets, you can still do your entries using this program, print them and send them to other meets this way.
Better Athlete Experience - Using this program eliminates the need for data entry on our end, which frees up many man-hours of our time to be able to focus on providing your athletes with a better experience.
Non Collegiate Teams & Athletes
Registration for collegiate athletes who are red-shirting, post-collegiate unattached athletes & high school athletes can be done simply by e-mailing the following information to meetmanager@butler.edu:

Location Where Mark Was Performed (only necessary if you would like to be considered for a competitive section of your event)

Seed Marks
Please list the athlete's best performance THIS SEASON. Be sure to convert all sprint performances to F.A.T. using the following conversions:
Hand time + 0.24 = F.A.T.
Men's 60m = Men's 55m + 0.46
Men's 60m hurdles = Men's 55m hurdles + 0.51
Women's 60m = Women's 55m + 050
Women's 60m hurdles = Women's 55m hurdles + 0.53
WE WILL VERIFY MARKS through posted meet results.
