The Interclub program is run in a ‘session’ format for field events, with athletes able to pick and choose which event time best works for them. Athletics SA will be trialling restrictions on some event sessions to assist efficient event progression, and officials' management. The disciplines affected by these changes are the Triple Jump and Throws. These adjustments will be reviewed part-way through the season by the track and field committee. 

Exhibition Pole Vault competitions will be running on off weeks on either the back straight or warm-up area. No event registration is required for this competition.

Interclub Premiership Points

Interclub consists of 16 rounds of point-scoring competition, with almost all Track & Field events covered across the timetables. 

This season's Copyworld Toshiba Interclub competitions will be located at the SA Athletics Stadium in Mile End. Athletes aged 10 through to 60+ take part and accumulate Premiership Points for their club, as well as striving for personal bests, national qualifiers and the fun/social aspect that comes with club competition! 

Interclub Premiership Point Scoring

1. Only registered ASA club members competing in their correct age group, with the correct implement for that age group, will be eligible to score points during Interclub competition. 

2. For point scoring in the Over 35 category, throwing implement weights can either be as per the ASA Technical Specifications (see appendix 1) or in line with the World Masters implement weight specifications (https://australianmastersathletics.org.au/about/event-technical-specifications/#throws) for the athletes’ age at 31st December. 

3. There are 12 Age Group Club categories where points can be scored.  

4. Individual event points will be allocated on a sliding scale detailed below and added throughout the day to the overall club points.  All athletes in position 21st or greater will receive 1 point. 

5. Total club points for the day of competition will then be converted into Interclub Table Points.  The points table is detailed below.  

6. Points will be allocated over the 16 Interclub rounds. The Club with the most Interclub Table Points at the end of the season will be deemed the winner.  

7. Para athletes competing in a discipline that is not a pathway event (i.e. is not listed on the baseline scoring template) or competing outside of their classification will still be able to compete, but will only receive one point for their participation. 

Interclub FAQs

1. Some age groups are unable to participate in some disciplines for safety.
2. Your Age category is determined by your age as at, December 31st, year of competition.
3. Track events are 'seeded', so you compete against athletes of similar personal bests.
