-Start Waves-
-Start Waves-
To maintain proper distancing each racer will be assigned a BLOCK and a Wave in which to start. The block constitutes your line-up time. Your wave is your starting order. Please show up to the Start Zone no more than 15 minutes before your scheduled block.
Waves are assigned by estimated finish time and category. The start is mat-timed to assure each person starts in their assigned wave. If you jump into an earlier wave you will be DQ and not timed in the event.
You will line up in three rows. Once you are released to go you will have a rolling start until all racers have cleared the mat in that Block.
