LIVE TIMING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

VENUE AND BEHAVIOUR

  • Heat Box - Please do not enter the heat box unless you are a skater who has been called/is skating next. Do not crowd the heat box or bother officials and allow space for skaters to enter and exit the area. Anyone in the heat box will be asked to leave.
  • In instances where there are warnings and/or disqualifications, an announcement will be made. It is the responsibility of the coaches/club representatives to explain the decision to their skaters however the referee may call the skater and a club representative into the middle to explain. If any clarification outside of this is required, the procedure in the point below should be followed.
  • 10. No one is to approach the centre of the track/enter the track, or an official who is undertaking their duties on the track, unless they have been invited to do so. Skaters, coaches and/or club representatives may respectfully approach either an official who is situated nearby/ outside of the track itself or gain the attention of Secretary to raise their issue and bring their written appeal with their payment as set out in the Rules. The issue should be raised in a concise and respectful manner within the permitted 15 minute time slot and a decision will then be made. This should not take place during an active race. It is not acceptable to enter the track
  • Respect the venue; leave the venue in the same state in which you find it. Clean up any leaks or spills, take away all rubbish or find a suitable bin. Under no circumstances should any damage be caused to any equipment or the venue; this includes the bathroom facilities. Please DO NOT put items down the toilet besides toilet paper.
  • The cafe/diner will be open for refreshments and food. They will serve bacon rolls in the morning and their usual menu from midday.
  • Please do not bring any food from outside the venue. Water and drinks flasks are permitted. Food and drink are restricted to spectator areas only.

OPENING CEREMONY

  • We will once again be holding a minimalist opening ceremony. Each of the teams (participating skaters and perhaps coaches) will be invited onto the track with an announcement (and music) to complete a rolling lap 15 minutes prior to the first race.
  • The expectation is for clubs to wear their team kit, ie club tshirts etc, however a skinsuit will suffice if this is not possible. Clubs may bring their Club flag if they have one, and have flag bearers. Independent skaters will be called as "independent skaters". Once this has taken place, the 2025 Championships will be declared "Open".
  • This should be a slow rolling lap, please behave in an appropriate manner; we also do have time constraints in order to ensure the first race commences at 10am. Any flags used should be club flags only.
  • Clubs should commence their lap from the primary track entrance, and this should be done in the following alphabetical order to provide structure: 1. Birmingham Wheels Roller Speed club 2. East Midlands Racing 3. Essex Skating Club 4. Herts Roller Speed Team 5. Londonskaters Speed team  6. Midlands Roller Speed Club 8. North London Roller Speed Club 7. Wisbech Inline Speed Skating Independent skaters

FIRST AID PROVISION

  • There should be a representative from each Club responsible for first aid, wherever possible. We encourage skaters to bring their own kits also. First Aid provision is provided by the Federation however it is essential that we all do our bit.
