| 6 | Athletes may compete in 3 events – i.e. 2 track and 1 field or 1 track and 2 field events plus a relay. |
| 7 | If an athlete exceeds this amount of events, the Penalty = 20 points + points from the last event. |
| 8 | Field events (excluding High Jump). Officials are asked to allow all competitors three trials even though a competitor may have missed a round, provided they return before the competition has been completed. |
| 9 | High Jump – Starting Heights to be – Under 11 – 80cm; Under 13 – 90cm; Under 15 – 1metre. Heights to progress by 10cm to 1 metre, then 5cm thereafter. When there are only three athletes left the height increase will be decided/agreed by the remaining athletes. |

This means that team managers don’t need to change an athlete’s number for a field event e.g. Athlete competes in B-string for 100m. Same athlete competes in the long jump wearing B-string number but has better jump than club’s athlete wearing A-string number. Athlete wearing B-string number will receive the A-string points. |
