Masters athletes who are not currently registered also with Athletics Tasmania will need to first “register” with AT in the masters championship category first before being able to enter the event via this portal:

Late Entries are now available except in events that are already cancelled - the list of events already cancelled is shown  in Session 10 of the above Final Timetable. See also point 4 below.

Late entries (in accordance with the principles in the applicable Technical Regulations) will not be offered on-line. Contact must be made directly with the AT office in person or by phone or email.

If possible please complete your entry on line. If this is not possible for you, please contact the AT office and provide the relevant information and arrange to pay the applicable entry fees. There is no paper entry form. Contact details are as follows: info@tasathetics.org.au or phone 62349551

If you are experiencing problems completing this on-line entry form contact info@tasathletics.org.au or brian.roe@earthling.net with full details of your issue and a telephone number for contact.

1. All events shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of World Athletics, Athletics Australia and Athletics Tasmania and for masters events where applicable, those of TMA, AMA and WMA.
2. Please enter for each event by indicating in the event box and placing your best performance since 1.10.22.
3. Entries will close at 10.00pm on Tuesday 14 March 2023. Entry fees for open and under age events should be paid on line. The cost is $13.00 per junior (under age) and open event and $7.00 per event for masters’ events. Please note - refunds will not be given under any circumstances.
4. Late entries will be accepted up to 12 noon on Friday 17 March 2023 under the AT Policy guidelines. An additional Late Entry Fee of $13.00 per event will apply to ALL entries received after the initial closing date.
5. Entries on the day of competition will be considered in accordance with the Technical Regulations. Late entries will only be accepted where acceptance does not require the conduct of an additional round in the event or the re-instatement of a cancelled event (and there is a place available in the event) or the Competition Director deems there has been a procedural error.
6. Athletes must be All Competition Registered members of Athletics Tasmania (or another Member Association of Athletics Australia or any other World Athletics Member Federation) and be age eligible - see below. Athletes competing in masters’ events must be a member of Tasmanian Masters or the equivalent masters association in another state or territory.
7. Age Qualification – For junior (under age) events all competitors must be under the relevant age as at 31 December 2023. In masters events athletes will compete together although where necessary more than one race may be conducted in track events. Medals will be awarded according the standard masters age classifications.

8. Athletes with a para-athlete classification and wishing to compete with such classification must indicate their existing or expected classification in the relevant box on the entry form. Para-athletes will in general where circumstances permit compete simultaneously with other athletes in each event entered.

9. MULTIPLE ENTRIES: Provided they are age eligible, athletes may enter in the same or a similar individual event in no more than two age groups. If an athlete enters the same or a similar individual event in a second age group, one age group must be that relating to their year of birth. For the avoidance of doubt “the same or a similar individual event” means events in the same column in Appendix A. The only exception will be the U15 (born 2009) and U16 (born 2008) age groups since athletes are not permitted to enter both these age groups. If entering in either of these age groups, the athlete must enter that which applies specifically to their year of birth. If they wish to enter a further age group (subject to regulation 26) it would be U18, U20 or open in both cases. To be clear an U14 (born 2010 or 2011) athlete may enter (subject to regulation 27.3) an event only in their own age group (U14). An athlete may not enter two age groups of the same or a similar individual event when according to the published draft timetable they are scheduled to be held simultaneously. No restrictions will apply age-wise to relay events but clubs are expected to exercise care and responsibility in allocating athletes to multiple relay events. Similarly when an athlete enters a higher age group than their own, the athlete, parent and coach are expected to make responsible decisions in this relation to both that and the athlete’s total entry list workload over the championships.

10. RESTRICTIONS ON EVENT ENTRIES: The following age limitations set out in Technical Regulation 27 will apply for Tasmanian track and field championships:

11. 27.1 an athlete must turn 14 years of age in the year of competition to compete in steeplechase or events of a distance in excess of 3000m subject to 27.4;
