1. The meeting shall be conducted under the competition laws of the Australian Athletic Union, except as hereinafter stated.

2. Member schools may have one entry in each event. Where no name is entered for an event on a school's entry form, then no competitor will be allowed to compete for that school in that event.

3. Competitors may only compete in one age group, however in SATIS carnivals where, and only when, a particular event is not available in any age group, a competitor may compete in the next higher age group where the event occurs without it precluding him/her from competing in other events of their own age group.

4.
a) The resolution of disputes arising from any event will be in the hands of the referee of the day appointed by the organiser.

b) Protests must be lodged with the organising secretary, in writing, by the person-in-charge of a team, within fifteen minutes of the conclusion of the event concerned. The organising secretary shall then refer the protest to the referee.

5. Division and lane allocation for all track events are to be by random draw for the first event followed by a rotation:
There should be a separate random draw for boys and girls events and for track and field.
Times from both divisions will be re-sorted to determine the final placings.

In events where competitors remain in lanes throughout the race,seeding of competitors will occur. The two fastest competitors, North and South will be placed in the fastest race and the remaining competitors will be seeded on the results from their respective carnivals.
The two fastest competitors of the four will be placed in lanes 4 and 5 respectively, then the next two in 3 and 6. The next four competitors, whether from North or South will be placed according to times in this order: 2,7,1,8. This will depend on the number of entries in each race. Where less than 8 competitors are in a race Lane 1 will not be used unless necessary for safety reasons.
Where seeding of races occurs, the athletes recording the fastest times will be placed in the second race.

6. The points for each event shall be:

Individual events - First placed girl gains the same number of points as the number of girls schools competing in the carnival for that shield. The girl who comes second is given one point less than first place and the points are accorded to the other runners on the same basis.

The scores for the other shields are calculated according to this method.

Relay events - Double points.

The same principle shall apply for Boys events.

FIELD EVENTS

STARTING AND FINISHING TIMES:
A field event will start at the listed starting time or as soon after when the event site becomes available.
In the case of the throws and long / triple jumps, the event will be declared to be finished when the last of those present for Round 3 has had his/her throw / jump. In the case of high jump, when the last of those present is eliminated or does not wish to attempt the next height.


REPORTING FOR A FIELD EVENT:
A competitor should report to the field event official prior to the actual commencement of the event. He/she may then go / return to another event. A competitor, who fails to report to an official before the actual commencement of the event, may compete in that event at the round/height occurring at the time of their arrival. Another person may ‘report in’ on behalf of a competitor

7. In High Jumps the following heights shall apply:

BOYS
U13 start at 1.25m then 5 cm to 1.40 m continue by 3 cm rises
U14 start at 1.35m then 5 cm to 1.50 m continue by 3 cm rises
U15 start at 1.40m then 5 cm to 1.55 m continue by 3 cm rises
U16 start at 1.45m then 5 cm to 1.60 m continue by 3 cm rises
Open start at 1.50m then 5 cm to 1.70 m continue by 3 cm rises

GIRLS

U16 start at 1.25m then 5 cm rises to 1.45 m then 3 cm rises.
Open start at 1.25m then 5 cm rises to 1.45 m then 3 cm rises.

In High Jump events, a competitor who is unable to clear the starting height shall be placed last. If a competitor elects to pass the starting height and subsequently fails to register a successful jump, no points shall be allocated. If two competitors fail to clear the starting height then the points for the last two positions shall be added together and shared between the two competitors. This format shall be followed should more than two competitors fail at the starting height.

The raising of the bar to a new height shall not be delayed in order to accommodate an absent athlete. (International Rules relating to ‘passing a height’ or forgoing a second or third attempt at a particular height, in order to attempt a next height, apply).

8. There shall be three attempts in the triple jump, long jump, javelin, discus and shot put. Where a competitor records three fouls they shall be placed last. If more than one competitor is placed last the points shall be shared.


For the throws and long / triple jumps, the order within a round may be altered to accommodate competitors. However, if a competitor misses a round during any of the three rounds, the competitor will not be allowed that throw / jump.

9. Shot put and discus events shall be conducted from a concrete circle where possible.

10. In 800m events, competitors will run the first 100m in lanes where possible.
