OFFICIALS
WPA technical officials oversee the running of all WPA events. All officials have passed qualification courses. They ensure that events are of a high technical standard. They enforce rules, judge placings, record times, check equipment, and generally see that organisational standards are met. Team and age category rule clarifications.
Team Prizes
Only athletes in club colours count for team prizes.
Licences
Temp license runners count for team prizes if they are wearing club colours. Athletes with license numbers from another province do NOT count for local teams, even if they are wearing the local club colours (they must buy a local license or else they only count for the individual prizes).
Athletes
- Foreign athletes do not count for team prizes, even if they are wearing local club colours. ASA rules put the onus on the club to inform the officials if a certain athlete is not eligible for the team.
- Athletes that move from another province must get clearance from their old Province before a local club may accept them. Athletes that move between local clubs must have clearance from the old club before they may join a new club.
Open vs Senior Age Category
The prizes for the overall winners of the race must always be OPEN (i.e. anyone can win). A few races also offer Senior prizes. It is NOT necessary to wear age category tags for Senior competition. ANYONE not wearing an age tag is deemed to be in the Senior category if there is one, or only counts for the Open prizes.
