Additional Notes

2 Boys and 2 Girls qualify from County to National; there are no Regionals in this event.

  1. The runway will be marked by two parallel lines 4m apart with a 90-degree sector where possible emanating from the corner points. The throw will be made from behind an arc which joins the two parallel lines, derived from a point 2m back. All measurements will be taken as follows: the tape will be pulled through the centre point of the arc and measured at the dissection of the arc.
  2. The competitor may throw the ball from a standing position or use the run-up technique.
  3. The competitor must throw the ball overarm.
  4. If a competitor touches any part of the scratch line or ground beyond with any part of his body, it is deemed a foul.
  5. A valid throw is signaled by a white flag being raised in the throwing area, and the throw shall be measured. If a red flag is raised, this signals a foul, and the throw is not measured.
  6. A throw is complete when the ball stops rolling and must be measured at that point.
