This does not apply to C & D division 100m which will be run as separate events and DO NOT count to Individual Age Championship points. A school must fill A division before C & D division.

5 There are two venues for each field event, one for Boys and one for Girls. If a clash occurs between a track event and a field event, it is the responsibility of the competitor to report personally first to the field event (prior to the completion of Round 1) to have their name registered with the official. After the completion of their track event commitment, they must return immediately to the field event venue at which time they will be entitled to their full quota of attempts. High Jump competitors will join the event at the current height set.

6 Competitors are to report to the marshalling area as soon as their event is called.

7 Canteen facilities for students will be available throughout the day. Refreshments and lunch will be provided for officials by the convening school. IAAF Rules will apply - except in field events, whereby a competitor will be permitted to compete out of order.
