How do the Leagues work?
You do not have to pre-register for the competition - simply turn up at least 1 hour before your first event and register with our club official (at the DSD flag) to receive your Age Label.
Once you’ve registered and received your Age Label - you can compete in any or all of the events scheduled for your age group.
Points are awarded to the top 6 athletes in each event and the top 6 athletes in each age group with the most accumulated points over the 4 Leagues are awarded a trophy – so obviously the more events you enter, the more chances you have of accumulating points.
1st 7 points
2nd 5 points
3rd 4 points
4th 3 points
5th 2 points
6th 1 point
The Leagues are a great opportunity to try new events and to get some competition practice before the upcoming Dublin T&F Championships.
Please arrive at least 1 hour before your scheduled event, remember times are approximate and event can start up to 45 minutes earlier than scheduled.
Please see attached for League 1 schedule.
Note: without volunteers and officials these competitions cannot take place - please let us know if you are available to volunteer on the day. As always we endeavour to minimise time officiating by spreading the work among many – it is much appreciated if you could make yourself available if asked to help on the day.
Notes:
Club singlets must be worn (singlets will NOT be on sale on the day)
Be prepared for all types of weather
Bring water/food as delays can happen
All clubs are required to provide officials to help at these events - it will be much appreciated if you make yourself available to help when asked

Parents and supporters are not permitted on the track or infield areas.
Please cooperate with, abide by and respect the decisions of the voluntary officials and organisers of the competitions
Everyone in attendance should help keep the facilities we use clear of rubbish Please use rubbish bins where they are provided or bring your rubbish with you when leaving!
