Event Rules:

Backward overhead shot put throw 

Athletes will get 3 attempts each. Furthest throw wins over the 4 rounds 

Throw technique 

Athletes begin with Shot Put in both hands while stand on the stop board, back facing the landing area. 

The athlete then proceeds to launch the shot put backwards. The athlete is allowed to leave the stop board they are standing on and can “fall” into the landing zone during the throw. This WILL NOT result in a foul. 

The throw will be measure from the closest edge of the stop board to the landing area and from the area where the Shot Put first impacted the ground. 

Normal Shot put sector areas will be in play and any shot put landing outside this area will result in a foul. 

Aggregate Long Jump 

This Long Jump Competition will be performed over 4 rounds, with the total distance over the 4 rounds from each athlete added together to give a total distance. This is how the final results will be compiled. 

Each round will be a little different, as each round will have a specific starting point. The 4 starting points are as follows: 

Round 1: Standing long jump 

Athletes will start from the point where the run up meets the sand pit and perform a 2 legged jump into the pit. No more than 50% of the athlete’s foot will be allowed to hang over the edge of the runway. The jump will be measured from the edge of the runway to the next closest from where the athlete lands. 

Round 2: 5m run up 

Athletes will all start from the same run up point which will be measured and marked with tape across the runway prior to the commencement of the competition. This distance will be measured from the edge of the pit backwards up the runway. 

As this competition does not have a specific board to jump off, each athletes jump will be measured from where they take off. There will be an official stationed near whose sole purpose is to find the exact take off point from each athlete so the jump can be measure. The athletes jump will be measure from the point where they take off, to the point where they land in the pit as per normal long jump rules. The official stationed on take-off duty will have final say on the take off point from the athlete. A sand area will be used to assist the jumps official to the exact spot where the athlete has jumped from 

Round 3: 10m run up 

Round 4: 20m run up 

The competition will end after all athletes have completed their 4 rounds. Once all rounds have been completed, the officials will add together each athlete’s attempts to find the final result. 

A foul will only be given when an athlete takes off from the sand in any of the rounds. All attempts must be taken from the runway.
