► ITTs
(Individual Time Trials)
Location: Bill Armstrong Stadium
Check-In: Bill Armstrong Stadium Bike Shop
Description: Riders are individually timed as
each member of a team completes four laps around the
track with three riders from different teams. The four
riders on the track at the same time start from
different turns. Each team's total time is used to
determine its poll (starting) position for the race.
IU-EMS' Role: IU-EMS personnel will be stationed at
a table in the infield, next to the start/finish line,
where teams exchange their bicycles from one rider
to the next. A tent will be available for use during
poor weather conditions. Since riders crash often, we will not
respond to every crash, but will watch for
riders who need assistance. We will also treat any rider that
approaches us.
Typical Patient Conditions: Abrasions,
Lacerations, Joint Sprains, Arm, Collarbone, and Rib
Fractures, Concussions, Spinal Fracture Precautions

Staffing: 2 EMTs,

► Miss-N-Out
Location: Bill Armstrong Stadium
Check-In: Bill Armstrong Stadium Bike Shop
Description: Riders participate in a
round-by-round, tournament-style competition. Each round
consists of enough trials to allow each remaining team to participate in
that round. Each trial consists
of six to ten riders, each from a different team. For each trial, the
riders race from the start/finish line.
The last rider to cross the start/finish line after each lap will be eliminated,
until only two riders remain,
who will advance to the next round. The competition continues in this manner
until the final round,
during which an overall winner will be determined.

► Practices
Location: Bill Armstrong Stadium
Check-In: Bill Armstrong Stadium Bike Shop
Description: Shifts are assigned on a weekly basis,
and IU-EMS personnel work the same shift every
week. Men and women riders hold separate practices,
referred to as early and late practices, and
alternate daily. The first week of practices is Rookie
Week, during which first-year riders are instructed
on race procedures. Early in the practice season, riders ride
more slowly and practice exchanging the
bicycle. Later in the season, riders ride at full speed
and practice under race conditions.

Check-In: Bill Armstrong Stadium Bike

Description: The women's race is 100 laps (25
miles), and draws a reasonable crowd, while the men's
race is 200 laps (50 miles),
and draws a larger crowd. Riders ride at full speed and in a competitive
nature
during both races.
IU-EMS' Role: An IU-EMS EMT will be stationed in
the infield at each turn, and will be accompanied by
a paramedic from BHAS (Bloomington Hospital Ambulance
Service). Each pair will be equipped with
a paramedic jump bag and disposable backboards. They will
respond to any rider on the track who
has crashed and appears to need assistance. The majority of IU-EMS personnel will be responsible
for treating spectators and race staff. Each
EMT will be
paired with a First Aider and assigned a
quadrant of the stadium. They will be
responsible for roaming the stands, walkways, and restrooms,
and treating any spectators or
race staff who need assistance or who approaches them.
Supervisors
will be located in or above the press box, as well
as on the ground, and will coordinate response to
calls for assistance. BHAS paramedics and EMTs will also be roaming
the stands, will respond to
many of the same patients we do, and will have an ambulance located within
the stadium. IUPD
(Indiana University Police Department) officers will also be
roaming the stadium and will assist us if
the situation warrants it.
