From Dustine Ware Sports Administrator ALTERNATES = FREE ENTRY
I was recently made aware that during the transition into my hire with the OHSAA, there was an ‘oversite’ regarding the decision to allow alternates FREE ENTRY into the Regional & State Meets. This has since been brought to the attention of the Executive Director’s Office. Therefore, the decision has been made to ALLOW alternate athletes FREE ENTRY into the Regional & State Meets. Please communicate with your event staff & participating schools that these alternate athletes ARE PERMITTED FREE ENTRY into the Regional & State Meet. Lastly, please remind the coaches that the FREE ENTRY of alternate athletes DOES NOT impact the number of coaches passes a team will receive. (Example. A school has a total of 7 total qualified athletes & 2 alternates…the school should still only receive 2 coaches passes, not 3)
