There shall be an initial Warning signal indicated by a Yellow shape and sound followed by an initial Preparatory signal indicated by a Blue shape and sound. The first and all subsequent starts will be indicated by a Red shape and sound. The Preparatory signal for each class shall be the Warning signal for the next and the Starting signal for each class shall be the Preparatory signal for the next. Signals will be made at five-minute intervals. Times shall be taken from the visual signals. The failure of a sound signal shall be disregarded.
Each shape will be lowered one minute before the next is displayed.
The Committee will display Class flags at approximately 4 minutes before the class Starting signal, until approximately 1 minute after the class Starting signal. This is not a timed signal.
