• Divisional: Host Schools to supply 3 Staff, all other Schools to supply 2 Staff

• In track events, marshalling occurs up to 10mins before the event. Track events are marshalled near the start line of each event. There is no central marshalling for relays, competitors are to go directly to their change-over point.
• When competing in both Track and Field Events, marshal at both events, in person or by proxy, and complete as much of the Field event as possible before returning to the Track. Inform the Field Event official that you have a clash of events.

• Competitors can marshal (in person or by proxy) any time before the event commences.
• Where a competitor fails to marshal prior to the commencement of any field event, they will not be disqualified from that event but will forfeit any jumps or throws missed and will not be permitted to have any practice throws or jumps.
• When a competitor has marshalled prior to an event but is unable to be at the commencement of the event because of a clash, they will be permitted to have one practice jump/throw and then have a full quota of jumps/throws.
• Competitors must return before the start of the next field event to complete their attempts.
• If a competitor has a clash of field and track events, they will be permitted to take their three attempts before departing to the track event.
• In the High Jump, if the athlete is not present when called to jump, they will be considered to have ‘passed’ at that height. The bar is never to be made lower during an event.

• Competitors can marshal (in person or by proxy) any time before the event commences. If there is a known clash, marshal once you arrive at the stadium.
• A student MUST be marshalled at least 5 minutes prior to the commencement of the event.
• If the student fails to marshal in the allocated time, their position is offered to the next best alternate. Once allocated, this alternate will not be removed.  Failure to marshal prior to an event commencing is an automatic disqualification.
• Proxies may be appointed to hold a Competitor’s place.  The Proxy will be given a green vest to wear to ensure that their purpose is visible and the spot is not allocated to an Alternate.

• A competitor may compete in a maximum of five individual events and a relay.
• All competitors required to wear the ‘School approved’ Athletics Uniform or be disqualified.
• The Shot Put, Discus and Warm Up Track is supervised from 9.00am-2.00pm only. After that time, no students in those areas unless directly supervised by School Staff.
• Head of Sport from each school, or proxy, to assist with relay changeover at Divisional carnivals from 2.00pm.
• The cooperation of coaches/managers is required at the athletics venue to ensure that the program runs smoothly by:

1. providing student assistance to move hurdles between events (athletics)
2. directing students (especially Year 7) to events as required
3. not using the track for relay warm-up when other track events are in progress
4. keeping students in school areas whenever possible
5. checking students’ uniform prior to events
6. treating minor injuries in school areas
7. ensuring no footballs or other sporting equipment is brought to the venue
