The CAAC T&F Championships will be held on Tuesday 3rd Sept @6pm at Saughton Sports Enclosure and it’s open to athletes who train on any night. All club members are encouraged to take part, either by competing or by helping out on the evening! Extra helpers especially welcome!
Entries, Format & Scoring
Entries can be accepted on the evening, but to help us organise things please register by Aug 29th via this link This is a free event, but we would welcome donations of food etc to go to the Community One Stop Shop Broomhouse – more details to come.
The competition consists of three events for each age group, these are:
U9 & U11 (All): 60 m, LJ, Quoit Throw.
FR (All): 100m, 400m, Jump.
U13 Girls: 100m, 800m, SP | U13 Boys: 100m, 800m, LJ
U15 Girls: 100m, 800m, LJ | U15 Boys: 100m, 800m, SP
U17 & U20 (All): 100m, 1 mile, Javelin.
Sen, Masters Men: 100m, 1 mile, SP | Sen, Masters Women – 100m, 1 mile, Javelin.
The scores will be calculated on the position of each athlete in each event. The winner in each age group will be the athlete with the lowest score from all three events. Example: If you finish 1st 3rd and 5th in your events, your score will be (1+3+5) = 9 points.
One penalty point more than the total number of competitors in that competition group will be awarded to athletes who fail any event (e.g. you do not finish in an event, and there were 10 athletes in total, you would have 11 pts). If more than one did not finish that event, each would score 11 points.
