THE LEAGUE TIMETABLE OF EVENTS IS HERE
The 2019 Rules replace all previous versions
Please note the principal rules changes are as follows:
U15 steeplechase for Boys & Girls is non-scoring by agreement with UKA for the 2019 season only. This will be at the U17W/SW height & 1500m distance
Standards are issued as guidelines for U17's/U20/Seniors. Clubs must not knowingly include any athletes unlikely to achieve the standards & if abused will be asked not to include the athlete in future matches Note: this does not apply to athletes completing a race after falling or injury caused during the competition.
Athletes may move up to an older age group (subject to restrictions under UKA Rules) but must stay in that age group for the whole of the competition, including relays, on that date. He/she will still wear the same number but must be 'declared' to the scoring team prior to the first event of the day. This does not preclude the athlete from competing in their own age group at subsequent matches. In the case of U17M, they may compete as U20M or Senior (but not on the same day - except as allowed in the Rules for Relays)
Number of field trials. Each competitor shall have four trials, except Under 13's who will have three trials only.
The number of entrants per event per club in the SWAL Cup be limited to a maximum of three dependant on the number of clubs entering.
