4. EVENTS
The
events held at the SWOSSAA meet will be the same as those held at the OFSAA
meet.
5. PLAYING RULES
a)
In order to clarify rules of competition, the following order of interpretation
will be used: (l) OFSAA rules (2) IAAF Handbook
b) A competitor may enter any three individual events
in the same age class or open class. In addition, a competitor may enter one
open relay and one age class relay provided he/she is not overage for the age
class relay in which he/she is competing.
c) Athletes who scratch from a final event after qualifying from a heat will be
ineligible to compete for the remainder of the day in any other events
including relays.
d) All competitors must wear a proper track or school gym uniform in order to
compete. Relay teams must wear identical tops.
e) No sport club or insignia on uniforms or coaches clothing shall be
permitted. A sport club is defined as a community, provincially or nationally
based organization whose primary purpose is participation in organized
competition in single or multi-sport programs. This criteria must be met both
on and in the immediate vicinity of the competitive area and during the awards
ceremony. Failure to comply will be subject to association sanctions.
f) Athlete names are permitted on the back of the jersey provided they are
consistent- first name only, surname only, first and last name. No nick names
will be permitted. This would NOT make the jerseys unacceptable for relays.
g) The convenor's handbook outlines the placing of contestants in heats,
qualifications for track finals and throwing and jumping order for field
events.
h) Unsportsmanlike conduct by any competitor or coach shall result in
disqualification of the competitor (e.g. throwing a baton, abusive language).
6. SCORING
Points
shall be awarded to eight places in all events as follows: 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3,
2, 1. Only the top three finishers in an individual event can score points for
their school. Points scored in Open events will count towards a school's total
in the Senior division. Points scored by Para student athletes will count
towards a school's overall total.
7. OFFICIALS
Each
member association shall supply qualified officials. Each member association
shall be responsible for assigning those officials in co-operation with the
SWOSSAA convenor. Each member association shall be responsible for assigning
one (1) officials to each exchange zone of the 4x100 relay. The Jury of Appeal
shall consist of three (3) members, one from a school in LKSSAA, and two from
schools in WECSSAA (one from a member school in the GECDSB and one from a
school that is not in the GECDSB). If a school appeals the decision of a
Referee to the Jury of Appeal and the Jury denies the appeal, then the school’s
member Association will be charged fifty (50) dollars.
