ENTRY INFORMATION

The Region 3 Country Trials is a new initiative designed to offer an additional qualifying opportunity for regional athletes, particularly those who may be unable to attend their designated Zone Championships within Region 3

Key Highlights:

• For the first time, athletes aged 8 to 11 years will have the opportunity to gain a Region qualifying performance (time, height, or distance) outside the traditional Zone Championship pathway.
• The Zone Championship process remains unchanged, with the top 6 finishers in each event qualifying, as outlined in the Rules of Competition (ROC).
• However, the additional four qualifying positions in each event will now be open to performances achieved at the Region 3 Country Trials

Inclusivity & Access for All Ages:

• Athletes aged 12 to U20 have traditionally had other qualifying avenues such as the Treloar Shield, Country Championships, and various open events.
  Recognising that access to these events can be limited for athletes in remote areas, the Region 3 Country Trials will now be open to all age groups, providing a fully inclusive competition opportunity.
• Tiny Tots will have their own dedicated events on Saturday morning, ensuring a welcoming and fun introduction to athletics.
• The 6s age group will be offered the same events typically provided to the 7s, giving younger athletes broader experience and exposure.
• The Trials will also include Multi-Class and Para classification events, promoting inclusive competition for all athletes.

Qualification Pathways

• Automatic Qualification: The first six (6) placegetters in each event at the Western Plains Zone and the Western Ranges Zone Championships will automatically qualify for the Region 3 Championships.

• Additional Qualification: Results from the Region 3 Country Trials will be combined with results from both Zone Championships to determine the next best four (4) performances in each event (time, distance, and/or height).

• Eligibility: Only athletes registered within Region 3 are eligible to compete at the Country Trials.

Important Notes

• Athletes are not required to compete at their Zone Carnival in order to be considered for progression.

• Performances achieved at the Region 3 Country Trials will carry equal weight to those achieved at the Zone Championships for the purpose of determining the next best qualifiers.
