The object of these Rules shall be to set down the requirements for Competition for all meetings conducted by the Association, or on behalf of the Association. All such meetings are to be conducted under the rules as set down in the I.A.A.F. Handbook, or as otherwise stated in this Yearbook.
REPORTING FOR EVENTS:
Athletes are required to be at the field Fifteen (15) minutes prior to start of weekly competition for assembly and are generally required thirty (30) minutes prior to the start of Championships.

All registered Athletes with the Association competing at Centre, other Centre and Association meetings must be and shall compete in Centre Approved Uniform Only as notified to the Association each year.
Athletes are expected to be in uniform within 2 weeks of registration unless uniform supplies are not available.
Singlets must be tucked inside Running Shorts, Bloomers, and Bicycle Pants etc. only if your age patch cannot be seen when on the area of competition.
REGISTERED NUMBERS:
Mount Druitt Centre Number (119) must be firmly fixed to the rear of the garment top.
Large Registration Number shall be firmly fixed to the front of the athletes' top with the border clearly shown and to be clearly visible at all times.
Small Age Patch Number must be placed on the left leg of shorts/bike pants, Bloomers etc.
IGA Patch must be placed on the right top corner of the garment top.
Unless these patches are not attached as stated, competition will not be permitted. These numbers are also required to be worn at all Association Carnivals/Gala Days as well and including, Zone, Region, State, State Multi and State Relays etc.
If any Patch is lost, please notify the Centre Registrar or Any Centre Committee Person. It is the parents' responsibility to have these patches replaced (Additional age patches will be available at a cost of $0.50c. Replacement of lost numbers cost $5) in accordance with the Association's rules, with no exceptions.
FOOTWEAR:
Spiked shoes shall not be worn by any athlete competing in Tiny Tots, U/6, U/7 & U/88 age groups. Ages U/9 to U/12 may wear spikes in events which are run entirely in lanes only and all field events except Discus and Shot Put.
U/13 to U/17 age groups are now permitted to wear spikes in all events except Shot, Discus and Walk.
Running shoes may be worn by athletes as purchased off the shelf. Spiked shoes shall not be worn in the 4 x 400m relay, or in races with a Pack Start excluding U/13-17. The maximum size of spikes at this Centre is 12mm.
Shoes MUST be worn at all times at competition & training in this Centre & at all Association conducted events. Competing in bare feet is no longer allowed.
STARTING BLOCKS:
Starting Blocks may be used at the discretion of the competitors.
ENTRIES FOR ZONE CHAMPIONSHIPS:
An entry Fee for Zone and Region is paid by the Centre. This season it is again included in the registration fee, and therefore no additional fees are payable.
Age Managers will distribute entry Forms. These must be returned via the Age Manager or the Championships Officer by the close date noted on the entry form. No late entries will be accepted.
In Zone, Region and State Championships, each competitor shall be allowed to enter no more than four (4) events, except U/13-U/17 who can enter up to 6 events. Each centre is only allowed to submit 4 athletes in the one event e.g. if we have x5 U/7 Boys entered in the 100m we must then ask the athlete with the slowest time to change his event or opt to compete in 3 events only. For U/13-U/17 this rule does not apply.
Once acceptance of Zone Championships has been received, athletes must be prepared to also compete at Region and State, as eligible. Athletes must also have parents arrange transport and be in attendance to help on a roster system with events and report to the Team Manager, failure to report and assist will jeopardise your child’s nomination for Junior, Intermediate and Senior Championship nominations.
CENTRE CHAMPIONSHIPS:
Are held on the 2nd week of December and are open to all Registered Athletes who satisfy participation of the events they have chosen e.g. an athlete that has only competed 1 or 2 times in the 3000m would not qualify this is at the advice from the Officer for Records and Rankings. Each athlete is permitted to enter Six (6) events, with the exception of the U/6, U/7 & U/8's who are permitted to enter Four (4) events. Tiny Tots will continue with play training activities.
Entry forms for Centre Championships will be handed out in Mid October and must be lodged by the due date noted on the entry form. No Late entries will be accepted. In the event of Rain and the event is postponed to another date, still no late entries are accepted due to ordering of medals and program printing etc. ENTRY FEE $10 per Family.
Families who will be away prior to the closing date will need to submit an early entry to avoid disappointment.
