Heats and groups are shown early on the results service. You should check heats and groups again before your warm up incase of updates (just to make sure).
Groups and heats are allocated on the basis of statistics.

- We notice the results made before the 5th of June.
- Unfortunately, we are unable to accept results from the indoor sport season or the last season submitted by email.
- All heats will be made on basis of statistics (PB)
- In the 15-17 series in races of 300 m or longer, we try to divide athletes into heats on the basis of their record times in an athlete-friendly way.
- In sprints, winning heats does not make a difference to qualifying, as the times decide whether you end up in finals or not.

Warm up area is located behind the games square and Kameleonten hall. NB! Extra caution to other athletes when using fields behind stadion area for warm up, as there are competitions for throw events are kept at the field behind stadium.
The call room is place where all athletes go before their events begin.
In all events, you must go to the competition area together through the call room. If the athlete has two events on top of each other or the previous event does not finish before the start time, he/she can move to another event location by announcing this at the previous calling and going directly to the venue of the next event. A team leader can also visit the call room to inform about the matter.
The call room is located at the end of the field towards the back curve. There are several entrances to the call room, so when you arrive, check which entrance leads to the calling of your event. The passage from the call room to the running and jumping events is guided along a Mondo-paved route, so competitors can put on their spikes already at the meeting.
Call room schedule has been published in the competion timetable, which the athletes must follow.

Parents’, guardians’ and trainers’ access to the competition area is limited. To ensure safe, flexible conduct of the games, access to the competition area and inner field is forbidden. We aim to reserve an area near the event competition area for communication with the athlete.
NB! In the heats for sprints, we are unfortunately unable to allow parents or trainers onto the field with the runners. During the starts of the 8-11-year-olds’ races, in particular, we are going to organize enough assistants to help the children with the starting blocks (using them is not mandatory).
In 8-11-year-olds’ events, parent or guardian may guide the athlete to the calling room and to the field if necessary. However, this will be done in such a way that no parents or guardians are on the competition field when the event begins.
The participants who have registered will be listed on the page linked below in the week of the event. If you find that something is missing, let us know immediately via email.
