Competition Rules
Competition:
1) 5 boys and 5 girls compete as a team over the four events added together to give the team score.
2) More than one team can be entered from each school.
3) The four events take place in a rotational sequence.
Events:
1) All athletes compete in all the events listed below:
i) 75 metre Sprint:
· Athletes take their marks behind the start line.
· The Starter will give them the instructions “On your marks, Set, Go”. “Go” can be a clacker, a whistle, starting pistol or arm dropped.
· It is a false start if one or more of the athletes start to run before the Starter says “Go”. If that happens all the athletes in the race are recalled and the race is started again.
ii) 600 metre run:
· The Starter will give them the instructions “On your marks, Go”. “Go” can be a clacker, whistle, starting pistol or arm dropped.
· It is a false start if one or more of the athletes start to run before the Starter says “Go”. If that happens all the athletes in the race are recalled and the race is started again.
· Athletes do not run in lanes but run as close as they can to the inside of the track or marked lap. They must not bump or push each other.
iii) Vortex Howler Throw
· The athlete can throw the Vortex Howler from a standing position or run up and throw it.
· The athlete must not step onto or cross the marked throwing line.
· Each athlete gets three consecutive throws.
· The athlete’s foot must not touch or cross the marked throwing line nor can the Vortex Howler land outside the javelin section or marked throwing area, if either of these things happen it is a “no throw” and will not be measured.
iv) Standing Long Jump:
· The athlete jumps from a designated take off point:
· If using a conventional long jump pit this could be either the usual take off board or the edge of the pit itself; it is the line marked on a standing long jump mat; and
· The athlete does a 2 – footed jump from a standing start.
· The athlete must not step on or cross the designated take off point, if this happens the jump is a “no jump” and will not be measured.
· Each athlete has 3 jumps, they are not consecutive, all 1st round jumps are taken, followed by all 2nd round jumps, followed by all 3rd round jumps.
