INVITATION COMPETITORS POLICY
The following conditions have been determined and endorsed by the Western Zone VSSSA Executive Committee.
Invitations can only be accepted for sports which include an individual competitor component (Athletics, Cross Country,
Golf and Swimming) and then only for possible entry as an individual and only if the inclusion of such competitors does
not disadvantage an individual/s who have qualified through District / Section Championships.
A maximum of two (2) invitation competitors per field event will be accepted.
1.
To compete at Zone level a competitor / team must have competed at District / Section level. Except:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
where a student / team has been involved in "official" school assessment/examination;
where a student / team has not attended the District Championships because they have been
representing Victoria or Australia in sporting competition;
where a student/team has not attended the Zone Championship because of their participation in a
sporting event or competition considered to be of greater status than the Zone Championship;
an "official error" has caused the student / team to either not attend the District Championships or to
miss their event at these championships.
where a student who has qualified for a Zone or State final and changes to another affiliated school
before the event.
where a student is injured or ill at the time of the Zone Championship. The student must provide a
medical certificate indicating the nature of injury/illness and the fitness of the student to compete in
the State Championship.
2.
The level of performance of the individual / team concerned must be able to be verified and be of sufficient
standard to have normally qualified him / her for the Zone Championship.
3.
It must be possible to include invitation competitors / teams without disadvantaging an individual / team who
has qualified through District / Zone competition.
4.
All requests for invitations, except in the case of official error, must reach the District Secretary before District
competition. If the invitation is consistent with the policy, the District Secretary will endorse the request and
forward it to the School Sport Officer immediately. In the case of 1 (d) and (e) at District events, the District
Secretary should contact the School Sport Officer no later than 48 hours after the District Event.
All requests from schools for invitations must be fully detailed as to the reason and recent verifiable
performances.
5.
Requests must be signed by the school Sports Coordinator and either the Principal or Deputy Principal.
Students requesting invitations must provide evidence (results, not just placings, from district competition or
the previous year’s Championship) to show that they would be competitive in the event.
6.
Competitors granted invitations are eligible for awards at Zone level.
7.
The final decision as to whether or not a request is agreed to, will be made by the School Sport Officer after
considering the verifiable performances of the students. The principle to be applied shall be "IS THERE A
HIGH PROBABILITY THAT THE STUDENT WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR ZONE COMPETITION".
In the case of more requests for entry to a particular event than can be accommodated a ranking will
need to be made.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook Page 45
MULTICAMPUS / DUAL CAMPUS POLICY
Recent years have seen several instances of school reorganisation and it is certain that similar situations are going to
occur again.
The policies developed are, of necessity, subject to change and should therefore not be seen as inflexible if a
reorganisation creates a situation that was not anticipated.
The basic aim of the policies are to ensure that competition opportunities for students remain as broad as possible
while remaining consistent with school policies. The Association would not like to see reorganisation used simply as a
chance for a school to have a more powerful team.
1.
Dual (2) campus schools are to be considered as a single entity and must affiliate as such.
2.
Multi (3 or more) campus schools are to be considered on the basis of whether they have students from the
same year level on more than one campus. If they do, they are to be considered as separate campuses for the
purposes of VSSSA competition and must affiliate on a campus basis.
3.
Examples
a.
A school with 3 x 7-10 campuses and 2 x 11-12 campuses is considered as 5 separate campuses for
VSSSA sporting purposes
b.
A school with 1 x 7-8 campus, 1 x 9-10 campus and 1 x 11-12 campus is considered as one school for
VSSSA sporting purposes
c.
A school with 1 x 7-10 campus and 1 x 11-12 campus is considered as one school for VSSSA
sporting purposes.
4.
Provided a schools' total multi-campus population is equal to and less than 1500 students, they could choose
to operate as a single campus school in VSSSA competition. The school must indicate how they are going to
compete at the beginning of the year, and remain in that category for the entire year in all sports.
5.
If approved by the Zone concerned, a school / campus may be reclassified.
6.
At least 3 schools within the same VSSSA District with a combined population of no more than 300 students
may enter District, Zone and State competitions as a combined representative team.
SHARED CLASSES POLICY
Reorganisation of schools has seen the emergence of situations whereby a student regularly attends more than one
school/campus in following their course of study.
For Western Zone and VSSSA sporting purposes, such a student may only represent the school/campus where
enrolled.
PROTESTS AND APPEALS
a.
Protests / disputes at District level to be forwarded to the District Secretary to be dealt with.
b.
Protests / disputes at Zone level to be forwarded to the School Sport Officer to be dealt with.
c.
Protests / disputes should be notified to the Convenor on the day and, if possible, the Convener shall resolve
such disputes 'on the spot.'
d.
Appeals against the Convenors decision shall be lodged in writing and endorsed by the Principal within 4
school days of the competition.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook Page 46
INFECTIOUS DISEASES POLICY
It is strongly recommended that all contact sports coaches, mangers, officials, players and their parents be informed of
this policy and its commonsense recommendations.
A number of blood-borne diseases can be transmitted during body contact sports. The more serious include
HEPATITIS and HIV [AIDS] infections. These diseases may be spread by contact between broken skin or mucous
membranes and infected:
- Blood
- Saliva [not for HIV]
- Semen and Vaginal fluids
N.B. There is no evidence that sweat/urine, and tears will transmit Hepatitis B or HIV.
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF TRANSMITTING INFECTIOUS DISEASES
[All open cuts and abrasions must be reported and treated immediately]
PLAYERS
1.
It is every participant's responsibility to maintain strict personal hygiene, as this is the best method of
controlling the spread of these diseases.
2.
It is strongly recommended that all participants involved in contact sport be vaccinated against HEPATITIS B.
3.
All participants with prior evidence of these diseases are strongly advised to obtain confidential advice and
clearance from a doctor prior to competition.
TEAM AREAS
1.
It is each school's responsibility that their dressing rooms are clean and tidy. Particular attention should be
paid to hand-basins, toilets and showers. Adequate soap. paper hand-towels, brooms, refuse disposal bins
and disinfectants must be available at all times.
2.
The practices of spitting and urinating in team areas must not be permitted.
3.
All clothing, equipment and surfaces contaminated by blood must be treated as potentially infectious and
treated accordingly.
4.
Sharing of towels, face washers and drink containers must not occur.
5.
It is strongly recommended that all staff working in contact sport team areas should be vaccinated against
HEPATITIS B.
6.
In all training areas, open cuts and abrasions must be reported to the coach and treated immediately.
REFEREES AND OFFICIALS
1.
It is strongly recommended that those officiating in body contact sports should be vaccinated against
HEPATITIS B.
2.
Officials must report all open cuts and abrasions to team coaches/managers at the first available opportunity.
3.
All contaminated clothing and equipment must be replaced prior to the player being allowed to resume playing.
4.
If bleeding should recur, the above procedures must be repeated.
5.
If bleeding cannot be controlled, or the wound securely covered, the player must not continue playing.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook Page 47
EDUCATION
1.
There is an obligation upon all relevant sports staff to provide suitable information on the associated risk
factors and prevention strategies against these diseases. Additional information may be obtained from doctors
or state Health Departments.
2.
The safe handling of contaminated clothing, equipment and surfaces must be brought the to the attention of all
players and associated staff.
3.
Although Hepatitis B vaccination is usually effective in raising immunity to hepatitis B, it provides no protection
against other blood-borne diseases such as HIV. Vaccinations must not result in any relaxation of hygiene
standards.
SUN PROTECTION POLICY
It is well known that Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world. Levels of ultraviolet radiation are
particularly high in many locations around Australia. Many sporting events organised by the VSSSA and its members
are conducted outdoors and in locations that have been identified as high skin cancers risk areas, particularly at certain
times of the day.
It is therefore incumbent on the VSSSA and its members to protect students and staff to the greatest extent possible,
from the dangers of exposure to the sun.
AIMS
The aims of this policy are to promote:
a)
An awareness of the dangers of exposure to the sun and the need for protective measures.
b)
The need for positive attitudes and responsible behaviors towards skin protection.
c)
Practices which can reduce the incidence of skin cancer.
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
In order to ensure that participants at VSSSA events are afforded the best possible protection from skin damage
caused by the sun, the following implementation strategies are recommended:
1.
Sport Coordinators should ensure that team uniforms are suitable for the locations to be visited and that hats
are included when travelling to high sun risk venues.
2.
Sport Coordinators / Conveners, where possible, should schedule matches outside the identified high risk
times.
3.
Sport Coordinators / Conveners, where possible, should ensure that adequate shade areas are provided at
competition venues.
4.
Sport Coordinators should ensure that team officials provide team members with adequate instruction on sun
sense and protection measures.
5.
Sport Coordinators should ensure that team officials provide modeling behaviors that are appropriate for
protection from the sun.
6.
Sport Coordinators should ensure that team officials encourage personal protection measures for students at
all times, including:
 Encouraging the wearing of hats when in the sun
 Encouraging the use of broad spectrum sunscreen
 Encouraging the use of available shade areas whenever possible
The above are protective measures which the VSSSA encourages all participants to embrace so as to ensure
the appropriate precautions are taken when exposed to the sun.

HYDRATION GUIDELINES
DRINK WATER - DRINK FLUIDS - DRINK WATER - DRINK FLUIDS
Introduction
The Victorian Secondary Schools Sports Association provides programs that have both sporting and educational
opportunities for students. The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that students become aware of the benefits
of proper hydration practices before, during and after physical activity.
It is essential therefore that adults accompanying teams to VSSSA events ensure that students are not
placed at risk and are properly hydrated before participating in physical activity.
Key Messages
The following messages should be used to help convey the benefits of proper hydration.



THIRST IS A POOR INDICATOR OF FLUID NEED
HYDRATE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PLAY
HYDRATE BEFORE YOU CELEBRATE
Suggested Procedures
The following procedures are suggested for all VSSSA events:

Teachers should ensure that water is available at all times. Other fluids which may be used include diluted
sports drinks, diluted cordial and diluted fruit juices. Carbonated drinks should not be used.

The procedures to be followed for providing fluid to students during competition should be clearly identified prior
to the commencement of competition.

Scheduled breaks in matches should be used to actively promote the benefits of hydration to participants.

Where possible, accompanying teachers should actively promote the use of interchange rules as a tool to
prevent dehydration.

Participating teams may designate their own water carriers. These may be students and/or adults but cannot be
the team coach.

No water carrier is to engage in the coaching of individuals or the team whilst on the field of play.

All teams are provided individual water bottles for every event. During matches, these should be located
immediately next to the playing area to enable players to help themselves (at appropriate times) during
matches.
REMEMBER – DRINK UNTIL YOUR URINE IS CLEAR !!

THE ROLE OF THE SPORTS COORDINATOR
As the work of the Sports Coordinator affects the whole school it is essential that a system of communication
with the administration and staff of the school is established. Make use of staff meetings, assemblies, etc, to
provide details of impending sports activities and provide a calendar of events so that both administration and
staff know in advance when teams are likely to be involved.
DUTIES OF A SPORTS COORDINATOR
General
1.
Establish administrative support within the school.
2.
Develop staff co-operation. Use staff expertise in the:
i.
in the coaching of teams; and
ii.
in duties involving school activities e.g. swimming, athletics.
3.
Give administration adequate notice prior to sporting events. Place all known dates on the school
calendar and alert staff of impending events at staff meetings and/or on Bulletin notices.
4.
Assist in the planning of Inter-form/inter-house activities e.g. plan draws, prepare and make equipment
available.
5.
Establish strict rules with staff and students for the use of sports equipment in general.
6.
Establish an arrangement with the Physical Education faculty within your school regarding the purchase
and shared use of equipment.
7.
Organise for the placement of sports team lists on Notice Boards and ensure that staff are aware of
absentees from their classes.
8.
Establish with the administration a Sports Ethos and offer a wide range of activities. Use school based
activities where possible. Contact with local community venues and near-by schools will widen the range
of choices offered.
9.
Encourage sports staff to coach and select teams and provide a team list of participants.
10.
Liaise with the administration for time-allowance or other assistance so that your duties may be
conducted efficiently.
Specific
1.
Attend all Sports Coordinators meetings called by the School Sport Officer or District Secretary. If
unable to do so, arrange for some other member of staff to do so.
When attending these meetings, you should know your own school program, as far as possible,
so you can avoid unnecessary clashes by knowing dates (i.e. camps, annual large excursion,
VCE, correction days, curriculum days and exams, etc).
2.
Read the Western Zone VSSSA and State VSSSA handbooks and become acquainted with all rules,
regulations, coaching hints, and the CODE OF ETHICS. Pass on this information, and any other
relevant information sent by the School Sport Officer or District Secretary, to the various team coaches.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook 2008 Page 53
DUTIES OF A SPORTS COORDINATOR (CONT'D)
3.
Ensure transport is organised for any teams competing away from school, and that all involved students
have filled out and returned an indemnity form.
When hiring a bus or buses the following procedure is suggested:
a.
Fill in and distribute relevant forms.
b.
Inform the Bursar of the costs quoted by the bus company.
c.
Try to supplement the cost of buses from the sports fund or through some other
arrangement with the school's administrators, then determine what proportion of each
bus cost should be met by the students on the day. It is most advisable to collect all
money before the buses depart.
d.
Ensure that all involved staff and students know the time of their bus departure and
return.
e.
Make sure that the bus drivers know where they are going (it is unadvisable to assume
that they know already).
Also, if the organiser of a sporting event has indicated specific parking areas or drop-off points,
the bus driver will need to be informed accordingly.
4.
Encourage all team coaches to conduct as many practice sessions as possible. Since most schools
have limited facilities and they might be used by more than one sport, the use of these facilities should
probably be timetabled.
5.
Ensure that all coaches compile a list of students competing and assisting in any matches or carnivals.
Copies of team lists, with periods of absence, should be:
a.
b.
c.
posted on Staff Noticeboard;
given to Daily Organiser;
given to Level Coordinator (Staff in charge of Absences).
The School Administration, including the Daily Organiser, should be also informed of staff
members involved in sports. If possible this should be done at least 2 weeks before the event.
Then inform the staff of which classes these students will miss and let the Deputy Principal and
timetabler know of staff members involved. If possible, this should be done at least 2 weeks
before the event.
6.
Make every effort to attend the Western Zone VSSSA Annual General Meeting. At this meeting, an
Annual Report of the years activities and a Financial Report are presented by the School Sport Officer,

distributed at this meeting. This information is most helpful for your school to have when considering
programs for the next school year.
7.
Keep a financial record of money spent on anything to do with sport.
8.
When using private/staff cars ensure that indemnity forms stating the type of transport that will be used
are distributed to participating students. (Staff cars must carry comprehensive insurance, which also
identifies the car.)
9.
When distributing forms clearly state the departure time and the expected time of return.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook 2008 Page 54
GUIDELINES FOR TEACHERS / COACHES
1.
Bring the draw, rules and team sheet to the competition. The official Team Sheet - duly signed by the
Principal/Sports Coordinator on the day of Zone Competition must be submitted prior to commencement
of play. If this is not done the team will be ineligible to progress to Finals.
Note the Starting Time is the starting time of the first game not arrival time or warm up time.
2.
On the day, Coaches should meet with the Convenor and the umpire(s)/referee(s) prior to
commencement of play and reach a consensus of agreement on the rules, time limits and conditions of
play. Once agreed upon, these rulings must be strictly adhered to. Examples: Change of match
duration due to buses, weather, late withdrawal of teams.
3.
Both coaches and umpire(s) / referee(s) together are to present any modifications to the rules to both
participating teams.
4.
All teams must be supervised by a teacher who is prepared to umpire if asked to do so by the Convenor.
5.
All teams must supply their own equipment - both sport and first aid.
6.
Make sure that your team members are in uniform and not casual sports gear. Some sports require that
players have numbers displayed.
7.
Ensure that the students behave in an acceptable manner. Convenors and umpires shouldn't have to
remove players from a game because of misconduct.
*
Team coaches should undertake this responsibility as a matter of course.
*
Encourage students to shake hands with their opponents at the completion of the match. This
can be initiated by both coaches doing this, and also congratulating the umpire(s) / referee(s).
8.
Arrange that scorers sit together throughout the match - away from the teams, and coaches confer on
scores during any breaks (i.e. quarter time, half time, etc).
9.
Teachers in charge of school teams may delegate coaching or umpiring duties (parents, students, ex
students etc). These people must be aware of the 'Code of Ethics' and all guidelines set down by the
Western Zone VSSSA Executive. They must also realise that the teacher is the person in charge of the
students not the delegated coach or umpire. The teacher is responsible for all behaviours by both
students and assistants.
10.
If spectators are in attendance at any Western Zone VSSSA fixture they must be adequately
supervised.
11.
Follow correct procedure for protests and appeals (using the correct protest form).
12.
Check with Convenor or Sports Coordinators before you decide to leave a venue earlier than expected.
13.
Adequately supervise your students. You are responsible for them and their behaviour on the arena.
Conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times, both on and off the field, and act quickly to
diffuse any potentially harmful situation.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook 2008 Page 55
GUIDELINES FOR CONVENORS
A Convenor is appointed to each sport (nb. in many cases this may be the coach of one of the competing teams)
with the power to alter conditions of play at Zone level to ensure smooth running of the event and to enforce the
Western Zone Send Off rule, if necessary. CONVENORS NEED TO BE AWARE THAT THE SPIRIT OF THE
COMPETITION IS TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION.
A.
B.
BEFORE THE FINALS
1.
Book an appropriate venue for the final. Consideration needs to be given to the use of changing
rooms, showering facilities, undercover area and canteen facilities, if required.
2.
Contact the School Sport Officer and confirm all details of the competition including which teams will
be competing.
3.

Guidelines for Students With a Disability (SWD)
Competition in Swimming, Cross-country and Track and Field.
All students with a disability must be classified if they wish to participate in competitive school sport, at their school,
club, State or at a National level. Once officially classified, swimmers must obtain an ID Card from Australian
Swimming Inc (ASI) and show this card to the referee prior to the commencement of every swim meet. Track/field
and cross-country athletes will be given temporary classes and will not be issued cards.
In swimming, all students must be able to swim 50m competently, cross-country athletes must be able to do the
required distance, track/field athletes must be competent in their chosen event.
A key has been devised to distinguish between the events. S refers to swimming; T/F refers to track and field and
cross-country.
All meets are conducted under the ASI/IAAF/IPC/SCHOOL SPORT guidelines.
Classification has five areas or categories.
If students do not fall into one of the following categories, then they may not be able to be classified. If students
cannot be classified, they are ineligible to compete as an SWD and must therefore compete as able-bodied.
To organise classification or to check eligibility, please call School Sport Victoria
Functional (S1 – S10) (T/F32-58)
(Locomotor disability eg. amputee, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, achondroplasia, etc)
Visually Impaired (S11 – S13) (T/F11-13)
(Poor light acuity to total blindness)
Intellectual (S14) (T/F20)
(An IQ of less than 70 and must have signed verification from the school principal for confirmation, addressed to
School Sport Victoria prior to the event).
Please note: Autism Spectrum Disorder students, ADD/ADHD and other behavioural disabilities must have an IQ of 70
and below, to be eligible. Severe Language Disorder students have an IQ of above 85, and are therefore ineligible to
compete in the disability classes.
Deaf (S15) (T/F01)
(At least 55db in the better ear as assessed by an audiologist or audiometrist)
Transplant (S16) (T/F60)
(Organ or bone marrow)
Temporary Classification
A temporary classification may be issued in each area for the purpose of a school meet only; valid for a maximum of
30 days.
All temporary classifications must be arranged at least 14 days prior to the school competition – contact School
Sport Victoria for details.
Temporary classification is not available for School Sport Australia Championships/Exchanges.
Only authorized IPC classifiers may issue classifications.

Western Zone VSSSA Handbook 2008 Page 79
ATHLETICS (AND SWIMMING) CARNIVALS
1.
Consult with the Physical Education Faculty (Personal Development Faculty) and request that, if possible, the
fundamentals of these sports be taught in physical education classes prior to any school competitions taking
place. Hurdling, Walk and Butterfly events will be conducted at Zone level only.
2.
Arrange an intra-form or intra-house carnival. The following procedure is one way to organise these carnivals:
3.
4.
a.
Consult the Deputy Principal regarding a suitable time.
b.
Draw up a program of events, sticking as closely as possible to the interschool program, but use form
groups instead of age groups. Add some novelty events so students with lesser ability will be
encouraged to participate (e.g. tug-of-war, tunnel ball, kickboard races, cork scrambles, three-legged
races, etc).
c.
Distribute program to class teachers,, and conduct a class assembly where class teachers place their
students into the various events. Given bonus points to classes which have all their students in at least
one event. This encourages maximum participation and is the main reason for the novelty events.
d.
Book the track (or pool) as early as possible, or, if using the school oval ensure that it is marked
appropriately.
e.
Ask staff members if they have any preference for duties on the day, and allocate duties accordingly.
Try to get experienced people for the recording and determining of results.
f.
Organise ribbons to be presented to all place-getters and either a trophy or pennant for the winning
house or form.
Use the carnival results to draw up the interschool team, ensuring that all students are placed in the proper
age group. In doing so, keep in mind the following:
a.
In all athletic (and swimming) events at country/section carnivals, there is only one competitor or relay
team allowed per school, except in field events where two competitors are allowed, in 800 metre up to
two competitors, and in 1500 metre and 3000 metre track and walk events, up to three competitors
per school may participate.
b.
ELIGIBILITY RULES: AGES are calculated as at 30th April in the year of competition.
*
Competitors may compete in only one age group for which they are eligible, except that they
may also compete in an event in the next highest age group IF THERE IS NO IDENTICAL
EVENT IN THEIR OWN AGE GROUP. Identical is defined as events of the same style over
the shortest distance.
*
Competitors are limited to five individual events excluding relays.
In consultation with the Deputy Principal and possibly other staff members, complete the athletics/swimming
return, and list staff members for athletics (swimming) to act as Officials at the sectional carnivals, and list staff
members to officiate at the Zone Championships. Send this return to both the district and School Sport Officer
as promptly as possible. Numbers of staff required will be given to Sports Coordinators at preliminary
meetings.
When choosing these officials you should select staff who have an interest in the sport and have indicated a
willingness to do the job. Try to avoid the situation where it is left to the timetabler to select staff for officiating,
as quite often these people do not necessarily want to be officials and it affects their performance of the job in
a negative manner.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook 2008 Page 80
DUTIES OF OFFICIALS AT AN ATHLETICS MEETING
All officials are to report to the Convenor as soon as they arrive at the ground to collect all relevant materials.
STARTER
Is responsible for firing the gun at the start of each event.
MARSHALS
Check competitor names on the Marshalling Cards. Tick those present and indicate with a dash (-) those absent. The
Marshalling Cards are to be relayed to the Chief Judge prior to the start of the event. If substitutions are to be made,
then the Marshall must receive substitution sheet six events ahead.
Place the competitors in their designated lanes.
Remind competitors in 100m, 200m, Hurdles and 400m events that they must start from a crouched position.
Remind competitors to move to the judges' stand immediately their race finishes, without interfering with other runners.
Marshals must be aware of changes in marshalling areas for various events.
If a competitor does not marshal for a particular track event, then the lane that competitor would have occupied is left
vacant.
For Relay events, Marshals check off the first runners only. Relay Stewards will place the other team members in their
correct lanes.
Check that competitors are suitably attired i.e. no tracksuit pants.
MARSHAL'S ASSISTANT
Conveys the checked Marshalling Cards to the Recording Table.
TIMEKEEPERS
The time shall be taken from the smoking of the pistol to the moment which any part of the body of the competitor (i.e.
torso, as distinguished from the arms, legs or head) crosses the finishing line.
Use the index finger and not the thumb to start and stop the watch.
One Timekeeper will time each placing. The Chief Timekeeper will also time first place. The slower time for first place
will be taken as the official time.
The Chief Timekeeper will complete the time slip and dispatch it to the Recording Table.
Times are to be recorded to one-hundredth of a second. If a one-hundredth-of-a-second watch is used, all times not
ending in zero in the third decimal shall be rounded to the next larger one-hundredth of a second; i.e. 10.125 shall be
read as 10.13.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook 2008 Page 81
DUTIES OF OFFICIALS AT AN ATHLETICS MEETING (CONT'D)
JUDGES
A runner shall be considered to have finished when the leading edge of her or his torso (i.e. the body and neck, but not
the arms, legs or head) crosses the line.
Each Judge will be responsible for determining one placing.
Try to encourage runners to come across to the judges' stand immediately a race finishes.
Each Judge will record the placing on slips of paper, which are then given to the Chief Judge.
CHIEF JUDGE
Is responsible for collating placing slips from the Judges and determining the official placings. Is responsible for
sending the completed Marshalling Cards to the Recording Table. The Chief Judge must signal that both Judges and
Timekeepers are ready for the next event.
CHIEF JUDGE AND CHIEF TIMEKEEPER'S ASSISTANT
Conveys the Marshalling Cards and the Timekeeper's Card to the Recording Table. Directs the three placegetters to
the presentation area.
RELAY CHANGEOVER STEWARDS
Ensure all competitors are in their correct lanes before the start of the event. Indicate to the Starter (white flag) that
your changeover point is ready.
A team may be disqualified for any of the following offences:
*
Running in the wrong lane, if any interference occurs or moving into a lane towards the inside of the track;
*
Throwing, rather than handing a baton to a team-mate;
*
Causing interference by crossing over after handing on the baton;
*
Having anyone other than the person responsible retrieve a dropped baton;
*
Not completing the changeover in the marked takeover zone. Runners about to take over must not start
running more than 10 metres before the takeover zone.
If a disqualification has occurred, a red flag should be raised and the lane number sent immediately to the Chief Judge.
In cases where there is an element of doubt, no disqualification should be made.
If all is clear, then raise a white flag.

DISCUS
The discus is thrown from a circle and must land within the marked sector (45 degrees from centre of circle).
The winner is the competitor with the best distance after three trials. A tie for first place is decided by the
competitor's second best throws.
The competitor must begin his/her throw from a stationary position. He/She may hold the discus as he/she
wishes and use any throwing technique. His/Her throw is a foul if, after commencing his/her action, he/she
touches with any part of his/her body either the top of the ring bounding the circle or the ground beyond it. This
rule remains in force while the discus is in flight. At the end of the throw the competitor must, from a standing
position, leave the circle from behind the dividing line.
Provided there has been no infringement, a competitor is permitted one interruption for each trial. When
interrupting a trial, the competitor must lay down his/her discus. He/She must then recommence his/her action
from a stationary position.
Throws are measured from the nearest mark made by the discus to the inner edge of the ring bounding the
circle. Measurement is along a line from the mark and through the centre of the circle. Distances are recorded
to the nearest 2.0 cm below the distance put.

HIGH JUMP
The high jump is made over a crossbar between rigid uprights. The cross bar is raised after each round and
competitors remain in the competition until eliminated by three consecutive failures. The bar will not be lowered
to accommodate athletes returning from other events.
When one competitor remains, they may select the increase in height. Length of run-up is unlimited. Two (2)
marks may be placed for run-up and take-off but may not be placed in the landing area. A handkerchief or
similar marker may be placed on the bar for sighting purposes. Competitors may not use weights or grips.
Competitors may start jumping when they wish and choose whether to attempt any subsequent jump.
A jump is counted a failure if the competitor takes off from two feet, touches the ground or landing area beyond
the uprights without first clearing the bar (whether or not he/she makes a jump), knocks the bar off the support
even if he/she has landed before the bar falls.
The uprights may be moved only if the take-off or landing area has become unstable, and then only with the
judges agreement and at the end of a round. The crossbar must always be replaced with the same surface
facing upward and forward.
Resolving ties:
a.
The competitor with the lowest number of jumps at the height at which the tie occurs shall be awarded
the higher place.
b.
If the tie still remains, the competitor with the lowest total of failures throughout the competition up to and
including the height last cleared shall be awarded the higher place.
Example: (O = cleared the height; X = failed; P = passed)

their third attempt, D is declared the winner. C has more failures than A or B and is therefore awarded fourth
place. A and B remain tied and, as this does not concern first place, they share second place.

JAVELIN
The Javelin is thrown from behind an arc and must land within the marked sector (29 degrees). The winner is
the competitor with the best distance after three trials. A tie for first place is decided by the competitor's second
best throws.
The javelin must be held at the grip. It must be thrown over the shoulder or the upper part of the throwing arm.
It must be neither slung nor hurled. The competitor is not permitted to turn his/her back to the arc after preparing
to throw and before discharging the javelin. A throw is a foul if the competitor touches with any part of his/her
body the arc or scratch lines on the ground beyond him/her. The parallel lines may be crossed during the runup but the competitor must be between them when the javelin is released. The competitor must not leave the
delivery area until the javelin has landed when he/she must leave from behind the arc and scratch lines.
The javelin must land tip first but it need not mark or stick in the ground. If the javelin breaks in the air, a trial is
not counted provided the throw was made in accordance with the rules.
Throws are measured from the nearest mark made by the head of the javelin to the inner edge of the
circumference of the arc. Measurement is along a line from the mark and through the centre of the radius of the
arc. Distances are recorded to the nearest even unit of 2.0cm below the distance thrown.

CONDITIONS:
1.
See General Conditions of Competition. An up to date team sheet must be handed to the Convenor on the
day of competition. This team sheet must include player’s uniform numbers where applicable.
2.
Matches to be played under the Laws of Cricket unless otherwise stated.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook Page 111
CRICKET (continued)
3.
Play from 10.00-2.30 (Lunch 12.00-12.30). Should it be necessary to change times, each team should still
have a batting period of two hours. Lunch taken immediately if first side dismissed before 12.00.
4.
All matches are on a one-day basis.
a.
b.
c.
d.
Team batting first shall bat for two hours, 35 overs, or until dismissed, whichever comes first.
Team batting second shall be entitled to receive as many legal balls as the team batting first.
Should the team batting first be dismissed before the scheduled completion of its innings, including
dismissal on the last scheduled delivery, then the team batting second shall receive 35 overs.
Should it be necessary to reduce playing time due to a delayed start or adverse weather conditions,
then the number of overs shall be reduced at the rate of 1 over for every three minutes lost (see also
#7).
5.
The team making the greater number of runs, regardless of wickets loss, shall be the winner (see also #6).
6.
If runs are tied, a result shall be determined by calculating Scoring Rate (runs scored divided by legal balls
bowled). Higher Scoring Rate wins. (See also NOTE below.) If equal, calculate Wicket Average (runs scored
divided by wickets lost). Higher Wicket Average wins. If still equal an extra 6 overs per side is played. The
side who lost the toss in the original match has the choice of batting or bowling first. If the extra play results in
a tie, then calculate Wicket Average as above. If still equal the match is replayed.
NOTE: Scoring Rate will be calculated on the maximum number of balls that a team could have faced if that team is
dismissed. Normally, this will be 210 balls.
7.
Special rules relating to matches affected by adverse weather.
a.
The Convenor must do all that is possible to determine a result. He/she has the power to order play
during the scheduled lunch break and to extend play for up to 30 minutes beyond the scheduled
finishing time.
b.
If bad weather affects the start of a play or the innings of the side batting first, the Convenor has the
power to alter the playing conditions and times so as to enable the first innings to reach 20 overs. The
side batting second is then entitled to bat for the same number of overs as the side batting first. In the
case of the side batting first being dismissed before its full entitlement of overs has been bowled, the
principles of #4 above shall apply. In the case of a tie, see #6 above.
c.
If bad weather prevents the completion of the innings of the side batting second, a result shall be
determined provided that at least 15 overs have been bowled. If 15 overs have not been completed
the match shall be replayed. In determining the result the principles of #6 above shall apply.
*
*
*
At the end of 2 hours Side A has scored 5/180 from 30 overs. Side B is after 3/80 after 12
overs when play is abandoned. The match is drawn because Side B has not received 15
overs.
At the end of 2 hours Side A has scored 5/180 after 30 overs. Side B is 6/140 after 20 overs
when play is abandoned. Side B wins due to higher scoring rate.
At the end of 2 hours Side A has scored 5/180 after 30 overs. Side B is 6/120 after 20 overs
when play is abandoned. Side A wins due to higher wicket average.
8.
Pitches may be matting, synthetic surfaces or turf.
9.
Competing schools to provide: All playing equipment including helmets, a full set of stumps and bails,
boundary markers, a new ball of the correct weight, a competent scorer and score book.
10.
Players must be correctly attired and should not wear coloured jumpers. Girls teams may wear school sports
uniform.
11.
No bowler will be permitted to bowl more than 7 overs in a match.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook Page 112
CRICKET (continued)
12.
No player will be permitted to field within 9m of the batsman in the area in front of point on the off side, or within
9m of the batsman on the leg side. The distance is measured from the centre stump at the batting end and
applies at the instant of the bowlers delivery. Where the ground is not suitably marked the umpires shall
determine the restricted area.
13.
Schools SHALL BE DISQUALIFIED if they do not provide suitable helmets for batters. The wearing of
helmets with a face grid is compulsory. It is highly recommended that wicketkeepers keeping up to
the stumps wear a protective helmet with a face grid.
14.
For Senior, Inter and Year 8 Boys matches the ball shall weigh between 150 and 165 gm. Year 7 Boys and all
Girls shall use a ball weighing between 140 and 150 gm.
15.
The Laws of Cricket as they apply to the calling of wides, no-balls and overs shall apply except that a delivery
which, in the opinion of the umpire, either passes or would have passed higher than the shoulder of the
batsman in his normal stance shall be called a no-ball.
In order to assist umpires in determining whether a delivery should be called a wide, the following
interpretations are suggested. Umpires should adopt a fair and consistent attitude. A delivery pitched outside
the leg stump and which goes further away to a leg shall be called a wide. A delivery pitched outside the off
stump, which does not give the batsman a reasonable change to score from it, as distinct from hitting it, shall
be called a wide.
16.
Umpires will be provided where possible but schools should be prepared to supply a competent umpire if
required.
NOTE: In restricted over games, bowlers are permitted to bowl no more than 5 overs and batters are to retire
after 30 runs, being able to return in the side should be out.
17.
Teams must supply all of their own first aid equipment including ice or disposable instant ice packs.

ORGANISING A CROSS-COUNTRY MEETING
1.
Set the date for the Championships.
2.
Order pennants for team events and medallions or ribbons for individual competitors.
3.
Select venue and check for suitability. Suitability involves:
a.
if the venue is available for large groups at that time;
b.
if the venue has an adequate area to enable an interesting and challenging course. Repetitious laps
or a very flat area are not conducive to a good event;
c.
if the venue has an open area of at least 400 metres for the start. Large numbers being confined to a
track in a small space can lead to injuries;
d.
if venue is suitable during winter months - avoid very swampy areas; and
e.
if venue is safe for Cross Country running.
4.
Book venue through appropriate body; e.g. MMBW or local council, stating times of arrival and departure,
numbers attending, facilities required, probable course to be used and transport being used by those
attending.
5.
At least four weeks prior to the event, walk over the route selected. Measure distance and check for:
a.
possible dangers to runners - holes, logs, rocks, etc;
b.
possible points where runners could take the wrong course or a short-cut;
c.
points where checks on runners would be required if the event involves more than one lap of the
course; and
d.
point where a car and first-aid equipment may be placed to assist runners on the course, if required.
6.
Draw up a diagram of the course for own use showing where officials and flags are required. Divert the course
around any dangerous obstacles.
7.
Draw up a diagram of the course for the schools involved and send out with information sheet. Information to
teams should include:
8.
a.
a map of the course;
b.
number of competitors per age group;
c.
instructions to competitors - type of surface over which course is run, starting and finishing
procedures, facilities available;
f.
staff and student officials' requirements; and
e.
awards to be made.
Send out competitor's name-tags with information that is required on the day: Name, House / School / District /
Zone, Age Section.
Western Zone VSSSA Handbook Page 119

loud hailer, starting pistol, caps, earguards, stopwatches;
g.
extra name tags and elastic bands, safety pins;
h.
spike or wire to collect name-tags at end of event (a wire coathanger with the hook removed is
effective). Tags may be slipped on one and taken off the other for recording purposes; and
i.
refreshment facilities, if required.
Arrange for officials:
a.
students at strategic positions where flags are not adequate;
b.
staff at points where first-aid assistance may be required, or where check-points are required, if
course involves more than one lap. At least six students are required at check-points so that runners
are not slowed down while name-tags are checked; and
c.
first-aid personnel.
CROSS COUNTRY
1.
Organise the school cross-country team in one of the three ways:
a.
b.
c.
Just advertise for interested students and then set up a training program for them.
Ask the physical education teachers to conduct trials in their classes and select a team from those
results.
Conduct a school 'FUN RUN' where all students are expected to participate and select a team from
the results.
2.
Note that age group eligibility is determined the same as for swimming and athletics.
3.
Be sure that every competitor from your school in the District and Zone Championships has an appropriate
name tag.
4.
Be sure that your school provides at least one competent official for your District Carnival and one for the Zone
Championships.
5.
Note that the five members of the 1st placed and 2nd placed teams at each age level, plus the next sixteen
highest finishers progress to the Zone Championships.
6.
From the Zone Championships, the same rule applies for progression to the VSSSA State Finals.

also times that lane, therefore being two times taken of the event winner.
6.
As the competitors touch the finishing line, each judge, including the Chief Judge, jots down the lane order of
finish as he sees it. The Chief Judge collates his results with the other judges, decides on an official result and
writes this on the judges' slip. He then hands first, second and third place cards to the judges assistants and
instructs them as to which lanes to award these cards to.
7.
On instruction from the referee, the swimmers leave the pool, the three placegetters proceeding directly to the
victory dais to await presentations.
8.
The chief timekeeper, on completion of the timekeeping slip, hands this to the runner, who goes to the judges
stand, collects the judges slip for that event from the chief judge and takes these two sheets to the race
recorder at the announcing table.
9.
The race recorder writes the placings and running time on the appropriate result slip circling the time if it
becomes a Zone record and hands this to the announcer.
10.
Just after completion of the following event, the announcer reads out the race result, indicating if a record has
been broken. As he announces the name of each placegetter, that swimmer steps up on the victory dais to
receive their place ribbons from the school principal.
11.
The announcer passes the result slip on to the recorders who credit the appropriate points scored to the
competing schools.
12.
The recorders pass the result slip on to the typists, who type the names of the three placegetters, their schools
and the winning time, indicating a Zone record if one has in fact been set.
