After their birthday they will score points in the older age group in the league competition. In the individual competition they can either continue to score points in the younger age group or start from scratch in the older age group. NB: Moving to an older age group may involve different standards and weight implements. Entries for the first event at each fixture will close 15 minutes before the starting time and entries for later events will be accepted up to 15 minutes before their start times. Competitors who are taking part in both the first field and track event must make their preparations and practice trials- and if necessary-take their first trial in the field event before going to the start of the track event. In track events, the order of age groups will be –slower seeded races first. Once again as in 2016 - field events will be seeded into two groups -A & B based on the estimate distance given by members at registration. In field events (not the High Jump) competitors will be allowed three trials, with the best here competitors in each group being allowed a further three trials if the field event standard is attained.
