ENTRY REGULATIONS

An athlete may compete in the Pentathlon and the Relay, but not in both.

Schools may enter three Pentathletes in each age group.

Each school may enter two Relay teams per age group. At this stage, schools only need to tick the appropriate box if they wish to enter a Relay Team. Names and dates of birth will be asked for on the day of the Championships. If you do not have four runners in an age group, then schools may run one competitor per relay from the age group below. Athletes may obviously only compete in ONE relay. This is a new rule.

Entry fees for each Relay Team are £8.00. Entry fees for each Pentathlete are £5.00. Please make cheques payable to "The Scottish Schools' Athletic Association" or "SSAA".

All competing schools are asked to provide a member of staff who is willing to officiate. All schools must name the accompanying adult, who WILL BE ASKED TO OFFICIATE IF NECESSARY.
