DO NOT THROW THIS CHIP AWAY:

Attention coaches & athletes: Congratulations; you have work hard to qualify for the Iowa State

Cross Country Championships. Please follow these simple procedures to make this a memorable

day. This event is being timed using the AMB Electronic Timing System. Please be advised of the

following procedures.

Securing Chips: You have been assigned two (2) chips. They have been personalized with your

name and bib numbers on each strap. Please verify the numbers match with the Bib number you

have been assigned. In some races your second chip may contain an extra number. For example:

your bib # is 123 and your second chip # is 1123. Always ensure your actual bib # is contained

in the numbering sequence. You must attach the neoprene strap snugly around each ankle.

Wear your chips: No chip – no time or place. You must wear your chips to receive a time and

place. Do not forget your chips before reporting to the starting line. A runner who finishes the

race without having the two (2) issued chips will Be Disqualified.

Return of chips: Each team and individual has been assigned a certain number of chips. These

will need to be returned in the plastic zip lock bags in which they were given to you to the Chip

Return area on the South side of the club house under the deck. There will be IHSAA and

IGHSAU staff count and verify that the correct number of chips have been returned. Coaches:

Be certain you have all of the chips before reporting to the chip return area.

Please help us: When returning chips, please remove all labels form the neoprene strap and

fold the neoprene strap in half with the ends laying parallel to one another. Then attach the

Velcro from one piece to the other. This should be in the same position you received the strap.

This saves valuable time in preparing for the next race and allows us to keep our costs in line.

You must wear your AMB Chip or you will not be timed or placed.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RETURN OF YOUR CHIP.

Your school will be charged $60.00 per chip if the chips issued to your school

are not returned.
