Important - Please Read
In the triple jump and long jump, each athlete will be given four attempts.
There will be no finals - only four attempts.
Therefore, when an athlete’s flight is over, they are finished with that event.
If an athlete must leave a field event to run or go to another event, they must return before all the athletes competing in their flight have made their attempts.
When the last athlete present has made their last attempt in that flight, the flight is over and the athlete that left will forfeit any remaining attempts if they have not returned before that final flight attempt.
We will not allow that athlete to compete in the next flight if there is one.
We will not make calls for absent athletes.
If an athlete leaves the high jump, they will lose any attempts at the height they left if they don’t return before the last jump has been made at that height.
They may, however, carry any remaining attempts over to the next height and continue to jump.
All events will be sections on time except for the 100m, 110m Hurdles, 100m hurdles. We will take the top 8 times to the finals in those events only.
The winners will be the top three performances in timed sections or the finals of the 100m, 110m Hurdles and 100m Hurdles.
The fastest will compete against the fastest in time sections. We will snake the prelims of the 100m, 110m Hurdles, and 100m Hurdles. We will run the fastest sections first in timed section events.
