There is one point about the entry system we wish to clarify – to avoid confusion: The entry system shows a selection box for each event option. You tick the box for the events you wish to enter. However, the box also has a place for entering a qualifying time/distance/height. Note: Wellington Championships DO NOT require qualifying standards. The box has been set as not mandatory for entrants to fill in, but unfortunately, it cannot be removed. We ask parents to ignore the qualification standard box for each event option and move on with selecting the events they want. We will not use any qualifying standard information added into these boxes.
