Championship Rules
The Championship to decide the various event and age champions will be run
over the whole season
with the exception of those weeks which are designated
as non championship weeks. All athletes
must wear appropriate uniform,
including registration numbers and age patches sewn or pinned onto
the uniform.
Track Events:
All track events will be run under championship conditions.
Starting blocks
may be used in the 50,
70, 100, 200 and 400 metre running and all hurdle events.
Heats should have an even number of children (e.g. if 18 children are competing
then they should be
divided into 3 heats of 6 athletes.
If 14 children are
competing then they should be divided into 2
heats of 5 children and a 3rd heat
with 4 children).
Field Events:
All events will be run under championship conditions.
Children will participate in all field events (such as discus, shotput, javelin,
high jump, long jump and
triple jump) in ascending registration number order.
One throw or jump shall be taken at a time and not three in a row.
Unless
a foul, no jump/throw
occurs, each jump/throw will be measured.
At the
completion of a field event the Age Managers
will be responsible for the
determination of each child’s place in that event e.g. first, second, third etc.
If a child is late for their event they can only enter at their next turn, i.e. if a
child misses the first 2
throws/jumps they will only have one opportunity to
record a distance dependant upon the time of
their arrival.
If an athlete is
late for the high jump they will only be allowed to attempt the height
the bar
is set at when their turn is due.
