Greensburg High School's rooms were renumbered two summers ago -- no longer do we have three rooms numbered as 13 (S-13, N-13, and 13) nor do
we have other duplications.  "The lower the number, the nearer the office" is the general rule.   Maps will be provided.

Schools are REQUIRED to bring one judge for every five entries or fraction thereof, according to the number of entries registered.  Any team failing
to bring the required number of judges will be eliminated from all awards. Also, please make sure your judges are equipped with stopwatches! (The use
of cell phones as timing devices is allowed.)

Food -- Concessions will be available from 7:30 A.M. until awards time in the student cafeteria.  No restaurants are within walking distance, so
please plan to eat with us; concessions profits help offset the cost of the meet for us, so your support is much appreciated.

Awards -- Team trophies will be given to the top 10 teams.  Ribbons will be awarded to the top 10 in each event.  Sweepstakes will be awarded as
follows:  10 points for 1st place, 9 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd place, etc.  The host school is eligible for all awards.

Registration -- Everything is located in the high school building. Registration packets will be located in the high school’s main office,
which is located on the opposite side of the building from the cafeteria.


Directions -- Greensburg is located 40 miles southeast of Indianapolis at the junction of Interstate 74 (exit #134 - turn south) and Highway 3.

If you are unacquainted with the high school’s location, the easiest way to find us is for you first to find the McDonald’s and Taco Bell
restaurants located on the southeast corner of the stoplight just south of Interstate 74 on Highway 3 (on the west-side corner is a Burger King.)
Turn east (the road then curves to the south), going past Taco Bell and McDonald’s on the right, and Arby’s on the left.  Keep going on the same
street until you have passed a Ponderosa on the right.  At the next possible left (about half a block beyond the Ponderosa -- there’s a quick
lube on the left), turn left onto Montgomery Road.  Go straight on Montgomery Road; you will pass a small housing addition on the left.  You
will pass the turn for Davidson Street on the right.  The next possible right-hand turn is the back drive to Greensburg High School.  Turn right;
head straight down the drive -- you’ll pass an apartment complex on the right and our soccer and football fields on the left.  The
 high school parking lot will be directly ahead -- drop students at the entrance closest to where you’ve entered the parking lot.  The cafeteria
is on that side of the building -- upon entering, turn left up the ramp. The cafeteria is to the left at the top of the ramp.  Registration packets
should be picked up by 7:45 A.M. in the building’s main office, which is located on the opposite side of the building from the cafeteria

Please do not park buses in the drive in front of the main entrance. After dropping off students, drive all buses to the parking lot area
closest to the football field.

Greensburg High School's rooms were renumbered two summers ago -- no longer do we have three rooms numbered as 13 (S-13, N-13, and 13) nor do
we have other duplications.  "The lower the number, the nearer the office" is the general rule.   Maps will be provided.
