To enter an event at the State Individual Championships, athletes must have recorded a valid performance in the nominated events within the Qualification Period. The Qualification Period is from September 1 of the season until 12 days before the event.
Athlete nominations for events will occur in three rounds, based on performance and standards achieved.
Round 1: Top Ranked Athletes
The top athletes in the ranking for each event are eligible to nominate.
Round 2: Gold Standard Athletes
Remaining Quota: If there are remaining places after Round 1, athletes who have achieved a Gold Standard can nominate for the events where they achieved it. If more athletes nominate than the available places, the best performances within the nominated athletes for this round will be selected. Athletes who are not selected will receive a refund.
Round 3: Silver Standard Athletes
Remaining Quota: If there are still places available after Round 2, athletes who have achieved at least a Silver Standard can nominate for the events where they achieved it. If more athletes nominate than the available places, the best performances within the nominated athletes for this round will be selected. Athletes who are not selected will receive a refund.
Rankings are available on the Little Athletics Tasmania website.
There are no minimum entry standards or rankings for Multi-Class athletes. Multi-Class athletes wishing to compete in AWD events at State Individual Championships must have at least a provisional classification provided by either Athletics Australia or the relevant organisation relating to their disability.
There is no quota for Under 14 and Under 15 events; however, minimum standards apply to some events.
