Conditions of Entry

• All athletes must be registered with Little Athletics Tasmania to be eligible to compete.
• The Combined Event Championships are for registered Under 9 – Under 15 athletes. Both individual and team Combined Event Championships will be offered for these age groups.
• Details of online entries will be sent to all eligible athletes in December 2024. Entry cost will be available soon.

• Failure to have correct uniform may lead to disqualification of athlete.
• Centre/Club uniform MUST be worn.
• Medals will be awarded to the first three place getters in each age group/gender in both the individual and team events.

Dual Registered Athletes

This event will be run in conjunction with the Athletics Tasmania State Combined Event Championships. Dual-registered athletes will have the choice of which event they wish to compete in, either LATas or AT. In many cases it is only a slight variance, the one difference between these offerings will be the type of hurdles used (collapsable or standard hurdles).

• In the case of the AT U16 Women/LATas U15 Girls Combined Event, athletes will be able to elect to pay both entry fees, to compete once for two different Championships with no additional or different events (and two medals).
• LATas U14 athletes can elect to compete in AT U16 Championships and will not compromise their potential selection at LAA National Camp.
• LATas U15 Boys can elect to compete in AT U16 Championships and will not have their selection for ALAC compromised.
• LATas athletes electing to compete in AT Championships will be required to compete with standard non-collapsable hurdles.
• AT and LATas athletes will compete together where their events match.
• AT and LATas athletes will compete at the same/similar time in different events when events do not match. (i.e. Shot Put/Discus)
• Start time and timetable for Saturday 18th January is TBA.

Combined Event Scoring System

All combined events are currently calculated through ResultsHQ and are based on the athletes best trial for each event using a formula (not a points table).

Under 9 – Under 12 Athletes

• Since 2022-23 with the introduction of ResultsHQ for State events, Under 9 – Under 12 age groups have used the Little Athletics NSW formulas.
• These formulas are scaled by age and gender for State championships and may not be suitable for Centre Combined Events due to minimum standards which results in “0” points.
• There are no minimum points for an event.
• The NSW formulas are similar, but not exactly the same as points scored for events prior to season 2022-23 which used a points table system.

Under 13 – Under 15 Athletes

• These age groups use the standard IAAF formulas for Combined Events, these are the same formulas as used for men and women in World Athletics.
• LATas has used this calculation method for several years for these age groups for State championships.
