1. GENERAL INFORMATION1.1 Ostrava City

The City of Ostrava is the third largest city in the Czech Republic. It is a university city with a vibrant cultural life and a rich tradition of coal-mining and steel-making. Four theatres are based permanently in Ostrava, including the highly successful National Moravian-Silesian Theatre, and the city is also home to the internationally renowned Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra. Ostrava hosts a wide variety of sporting and cultural events throughout the year. One of the highlights of the sporting year is the Golden Spike athletics meeting, where Usain Bolt was a regular competitor. Cultural events include the Colours of Ostrava multi-genre music festival, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors, as well as two prestigious classical music festivals – Janáček May and the St Wenceslas Music Festival. The summer Shakespeare Festival is a must for theatre-lovers, and NATO Days is a major military and aviation show held annually at Leoš Janáček International Airport Ostrava.

Ostrava is a great place to visit all year round – and the autumn is no exception. Sample traditional local specialities. Discover Ostrava’s proud industrial history and marvel at the wonders of modern science and technology. Visit the city’s popular zoo, experience the authentic environment of a coal mine at a mining museum, or travel into space at the planetarium. For different perspective, walk up Ostrava’s very own ‘volcano’ – the Ema slag-heap, an artificial hill made of coal-mining waste which is still burning deep beneath the surface, producing clouds of mysterious smoke and steam… For an evening to remember, you can try out Ostrava’s unique beer spa, take in some culture at one of the city’s excellent theatres, or party all night on the legendary Stodolní Street – the street that never sleeps. And if that’s still not quite enough, just thirty minutes’ drive away from Ostrava you’ll find the beautiful Beskydy mountains, a true paradise for lovers of sports.

Please refer to the official website of the Event www.ostrava2018.org for a few top tips for places to visit during your stay in Ostrava.

3. TRAVEL TO CZECH REPUBLIC3.1 Official Airport

Leoš Janáček International Airport Ostrava (OSR) is the only official airport for the Continental Cup.

The LOC will organize transport only from the official airport to the official hotels according to the provided travel details.

Should you choose to use any other airport or train station, you will be required to make your own transport arrangements to reach your hotel and bear any relevant expenses.

A Welcome Desk will be placed in the arrival hall at the airport. Staff will be available to support with any query and the desks will be made identifiable with an IAAF Continental Cup Ostrava 2018 branded backdrop.

Those teams planning to arrive prior Thursday, 6 September and/or leave after Monday, 10 September are advised to contact the LOC well in advance in order to check availability of accommodation and transport arrangements. Arrivals outside of the official period will be met by the welcome team with hand held signs.

VAULTING POLES AND JAVELINSIn the case that the airline fails to confirm poles/javelins transfer during the booking process to the final destination Ostrava, following special arrangements must be applied.

Poles/javelins must be checked-in only to Václav Havel Airport Prague (transit airport). Upon arrival at the airport, poles/javelins will be picked up by airport staff (luggage handling) who will hand them over to LOC staff. There is no need for athlete to leave the transit zone. Poles/javelins collected at Prague Airport will be then transported by van with accompanying LOC Staff directly to the secure storage adjacent to the Ostrava City Stadium Warm-up Area. All poles/javelins bags must be clearly labelled with the athlete’s name, National Federation code (e.g. Great Britain and NI = GBR).

On the way back, poles/javelins will be transported by LOC Staff directly from the Ostrava City Stadium Warm-up Area to the departure airport where they will be collected by the athlete or team official before flight check-in. All other requirements will be handled individually.

As you have been informed, LOC together with Czech Airlines have created special booking code IAAFOSTRAVA2018. This was already communicated to the Area Federations.

For further information and arrangements please contact the LOC Transportation Manager - Vlastimil BIJOTA on [email protected].



3.2 Visa RequirementsCzech Republic is a member state of Schengen area. Detailed entry visa information was circulated to Area Federations in April 2018.

The list of states and their visa obligations is provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. The list is in force since January 2018 and may be a subject to changes by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic.

Please refer to Appendix 12.1, which lists the IAAF Member Federations whose nationals:

• Do not need visa to enter the Czech Republic

• Need visa and have the Embassy of the Czech Republic in their country - in this case, you must contact the Czech Embassy or Consulate before leaving for Ostrava

• Need visa and do not have a Czech Embassy in your country - you will find a representative of the Embassy in your country in Appendix 12.1.

Important NotesVisas should be obtained before leaving your country from Embassy or Consulate well in advance to ensure all the procedures in due time. Participants who require a visa should contact the LOC as soon as possible with their request and LOC will send them a special form to fill in to obtain a special invitation letter and visa application information.

For any visa matters please contact the LOC Visa Operations Manager - Taťána BOHÁČOVÁ on e-mail: [email protected].

Deadline for sending the requested information to LOC in order to receive the invitation letter was 20 July 2018.

3.3 Medical InsuranceWe remind you that all IAAF Member Federations are responsible for subscribing to an insurance policy that covers illness and/or injury to any members of their delegation and/or team travelling to and from IAAF competitions and during the event itself. Furthermore, proof of such insurance is now required in most cases to obtain visas, e.g., in the Schengen area.

3.4 Local TransportTransfers from Leoš Janáček International Airport Ostrava will be by bus according to the arrival and departure information provided in the Final Entries.

A regular shuttle service will be provided between the Park Inn by Radisson Ostrava Hotel and Ostrava City Stadium for training and competition.

There is no shuttle service from the Clarion Congress Hotel Ostrava as it is in walking distance (150 m) from the Stadium.

7. COMPETITION FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT AND IMPLEMENTS

7.1 Ostrava City Stadium(see maps in Appendix 12.3)

The IAAF Continental Cup will take place in the “Ostrava City Stadium”. Inaugurated in the summer of 1938 has since been the heart of local athletics. The stadium went under a major renovation in 2010. Well known event held here continuously from 1961 is the IAAF World Challenge Zlatá Tretra Ostrava (Golden Spike) meeting. In 2007 it also hosted successfully the IAAF World Youth Championships and in 2011 European Athletics Under 23 Championships.

The stadium has a capacity of 15,000 spectators. A 400m warm-up track, with a separate area for long throws is adjacent to the stadium and will also serve as the training area.

The track surface for the stadium and warm-up track is a CONIPUR R.

7.2 Warm-up Area (and Training Venue)A 400m (six lanes) warm-up track, with a separate area for Long Throws, is adjacent to the main stadium and will also serve as training area.

LOC personnel will be available at the site to assist. Athletes are advised to follow the instructions given by these personnel and to pay particular attention to safety rules during the training sessions.

Implements, equipment (hurdles, starting blocks) and relay batons will be available to athletes and coaches. These can be obtained from the equipment store and athletes / coaches using the equipment will be asked to leave their Accreditation Card with the LOC personnel in charge.

Special tents for physiotherapy, massage and physical therapy will be offered to all teams. The spaces will be shared so we ask the teams to be considerate of the other teams setting up physiotherapy spaces and not to monopolize the entire area.

The Warm-up Area will, in principle, open starting on 4 September according to the following schedule:

• 4-7 September 08:00 – 20:00

Except for the 3000m and 3000m Steeplechase, Track Events are conducted according to IAAF rules.

In the 3000m and 3000m SC, the athlete reaching the finish line in the last position after the third (with 4 laps to go), fourth (with 3 laps to go), fifth (with 2 laps to go) and sixth (with 1 lap to go) full lap, respectively, is eliminated and shall not complete the race, with only the remaining four athletes competing in the last lap.

If the number of athletes at any elimination point is less than the required (that is, 8, 7, 6, 5), no elimination will take place at that point. Officials will indicate the elimination to the athlete.

502.3.2 Field EventsHigh Jump and Pole Vault are conducted according to IAAF rules.

Long Jump, Triple Jump, Shot Put, Discus Throw, Hammer Throw and Javelin Throw (“Horizontal Field Events”) will have two phases.

In the first phase (Qualification), all athletes have three trials after which they are ranked. The highest ranked athlete from each team (i.e. a total of four athletes) proceed to Round 4. All other athletes are eliminated and ranked from fifth to eighth according to their best performance after three rounds of trials.

Round 4 (Semi-Final) and Round 5 (Final) is the second phase of the competition. In Round 4, the two lowest ranked athletes are ranked third and fourth according to their performance in this round and are eliminated.

The two best ranked athletes in Round 4 proceed to Round 5, which is the final round. In Round 5, the better ranked athlete in this round wins the competition, the other is second.

The competing order in all the five rounds will be the initial draw order.

If all the four athletes fail in Round 4, the two best ranked athletes after the first 3 rounds will go to Round 5. If in Round 4 only one athlete has a valid performance, the second athlete to progress to Round 5 will be the athlete (from a different team) with the best valid performance after the first 3 rounds.

If in Round 5 both athletes fail, the winner is the athlete with the better performance in Round 4. If in Round 4 those athletes failed, the winner is the athlete with the better performance after the first 3 rounds and the other is second.

502.3.3 4 x 400m Mixed RelayIn the 4 x 400m Mixed Relay, each team is composed of two Men and two Women. The running order is free. The composition of the team and the order of running shall be officially declared at the time of the Final Declaration, however, the order, other than the first-leg runner, may be changed at the time of the race.

502.4 Scoring 502.4.1 General

Athletes are ranked according to their finishing positions in the event and are given individual points (8 to 1) accordingly. A team ranking is then determined by adding the individual points of each athlete in each team. Team points are awarded according to the team ranking. The first team scores 8 points, the second scores 6 points, the third scores 4 points and the fourth scores 2 points.

502.4.2 3000m and 3000m SteeplechaseIn the 3000m and 3000m Steeplechase, all athletes are awarded points regardless if they are eliminated or not.

Eliminated athletes who do not stop after receiving the indication will be disqualified from the event.

502.4.3 Relay EventsIn the Relay Events, the scoring is as follows:

1st – 8 points, 2nd – 6 points, 3rd – 4 points, 4th – 2 points.

502.4.4 Invalid ResultsIf an athlete does not start (DNS) or does not finish (DNF), has no mark (NM) in Field Events) or is disqualified (DQ), the team will receive no points for that athlete but the remaining athletes will receive the same number of points as if all athletes had completed the event.

In the case of disqualification in the 3000m and 3000m Steeplechase event under point 502.4.2 or from any event under IAAF Rule 125.5 or 145.2 (acting in an unsporting or improper manner), the team of the disqualified athlete will not receive any points for that event.

502.4.5 Joker Events Each team will have two “Jokers” to be used each day (one for a Men’s event and one for a Women’s event). The Team Captain shall indicate before each session the events for which the Jokers are to be used. If the team wins the event in which the Joker is used, double points are awarded to that team.

502.4.6 Overall Team ScoresPoints achieved by Men and Women are combined, and the overall winner of the IAAF Continental Cup is the team with the most combined points.

502.4.7 Ties If there is a tie in the final scoring of an event, the combined points of the teams tying shall be divided.

If two or more teams achieve an equal number of points in the overall team score for any place, the procedure to determine whether there has been a tie is the following:

• The team which, in the greater number of events, has achieved more first places, shall be awarded the higher place.

• If the teams are still equal following the application of the above, the team with the greater number of second places, etc., shall be given the higher place.

• If the teams are still equal following the application of the above, it shall be determined to be a tie.
