one team. Also if teams enter relay events with more than 1 entry then this must be declared and a
number given to each entry.
Any age/grade except for cadets i.e. there is only one grade – Open.
Clubs are encouraged to enter as many teams as they like.
For the purpose of drawing for heats, it will be assumed that the club’s “A” team is their best team. This is to
try and avoid a clash of top teams in the heats.
Each club is required to submit the number of teams they will have competing at 9 am at the managers
meeting.
There will be no substituting of team members once the teams have been declared at the Manager’s
Meeting. The only way a person can be replaced in a team during the event is through injury. This must be
approved by the Event Manager, and they can only be replaced by a person not currently in a team.
Masters races – These will be mixed races (so one race) with a handicap format. The oldest
competitor goes on go and then 10 sec intervals for every decade to the youngest. E.g. 70-80 on Go,
60-70 on 10sec, 50-60 on 20sec, 40-50 on 30 sec and 30-40 on 40 sec. In the interest of political
correctness and gender equality the Women will leave the same time as the men.Event Time Date Name Address Phone Number
