\n\n\n\n
Our Centre Championships are our ‘grand final’ days, and every athlete registered with Algester Little Athletics Centre is encouraged to participate in the Championships, and in all events for their age group. All athletes who compete at the Centre Championships will receive a participation trophy at our Trophy Presentation Day. Trophies are also awarded to Age Champion or Runner Up in each age group (one for boys and one for girls).
\n\n
\n\nIn order for athletes to be eligible for Age Champion or Runner Up in any age group, athletes must have competed in at least 50% of eligible Centre competitions. Additionally, in order to receive points in a particular event, athletes must also have competed in that event at least twice during the season at eligible Centre competitions. It is still possible for an athlete to achieve Age Champion or Runner Up if they have not competed twice in each event, but it may be more difficult to achieve if an athlete does not obtain points in each event in the championships.

\n\n\n\n
Centre days which were cancelled due to rain still count toward the 50% attendance requirement. They are usually entered as a 'participate' in Results HQ.
\n\t\n\n
Attendance at the Algester carnival does not count toward the 50% participation.
\n\t\n\n
Participation in our annual life members pentathlon does count toward the overall 50% participation and toward the number of times an athlete has participated in a particular event.
\n\t\n\n
If an athlete receives 3 fouls or is disqualified during an event on one of our centre days, the event still counts as ‘participation’ in that event – please ensure that athletes are included in the results for that event though. For example, if an athlete does not finish a track event, the athlete must attend the recording table to receive a participated ticket and have their name recorded (DNF).
\n\t\n\n
If an event/s is abandoned due to rain, athletes who attended the centre competition that day will still receive a ‘participate’ in that event.
\n\t\n\n
Attendance at other carnivals or events does not count toward the 50% attendance requirement – the necessary attendance must be at eligible Algester Little Athletics Centre competitions.
