NEMAA TRACK & FIELD INTER-CLUB LEAGUE SERIES 2024 - RULES AND INFORMATION (2025 updates to be confirmed shortly)
The first Group A throw event will start at 6.00pm (warm ups at 5.30pm). The first Group B throw event will start at 6 pm. All "second group" events scheduled after 6pm will be on a follow-on basis, e.g. Javelin B will follow on once Javelin A is completed. This will also apply to the triple jump and the weight events. Track events at 6.30pm, apart from 2km walks which start at 6.00pm (warm ups at 5.30pm). Please register and warm up early for first events, remembering to adhere to health and safety rules and Covid regulations (long throws must only be made under supervision of an official).
IMPORTANT CHANGES
The four main throwing events will be divided into two sections – Group A & Group B.
The three Jump Events will also be divided into two sections - Group A & Group B
Competitors in the High Jump will be allowed a maximum of seven jumps.
Group A Throws will be limited to no more than 15 competitors who have reached their NEMAA age group standard . If more than 15 athletes have reached this standard, the group will be limited to the first 15 athletes entered who have attained their age group standard.
Competitors who have not attained their age group standard will compete in Group B

Age group standards can be viewed HERE
Group B will be for competitors who have not reached their age group standard. (This new rule is due to the very large number of competitors). The first Group B throwing event will start at 6.00pm. Group B throwers will be asked to take their warm up throw (if they request one) immediately prior to their two consecutive trials - this will speed up the event and allow competitors to move to their next track or field event more quickly. The first throw will be marked with a peg but not measured at that point. The second throw will be measured if it exceeds the peg distance - if not, the first throw will then be measured by using the peg marker.
Throws that do not reach the grass area in front of the cage will not be measured.
Throwers will compete in the order in which they arrive at each event.
