(Applies to all Cross Country and Track & Field Championship Entries.)
Entries will only be accepted online
Payment must be made at time of entry
Online entries will close 2 weeks prior to the event
No entries will be accepted after the deadline for entry
If individuals experience difficulties with the online system, then the Athletics NI office must be contacted by phone or email BEFORE the deadline to explain the difficulty. Staff may then accept entries if the online system is at fault
If the deadline happens to fall on a public holiday when the ANI office is closed then the relevant deadline will advance to the next day when the ANI office is open, unless advertised otherwise
It is agreed that no late entries will be accepted for inclusion in the event unless a mistake has been made in the Athletics NI office or if the online system has demonstrably malfunctioned.
Athletes who arrive on the day of the event will not be added to the start list in any event (Track & Field or Cross Country) unless it can be shown that an administrative error has occurred in the entry process
If an athlete presents at an event seeking to be added to the start list, they must be immediately referred to the Event Manager. Under no circumstances should officials add an athlete to the list or allow them to compete as a “guest” or non-scoring athlete. Only the Event Manager can permit late additions to the start lists
Clubs have a responsibility to ensure that all athletes wishing to compete under their club’s name in NI & Ulster Championships are aware of these conditions and abide by them
If an athlete does manage to compete unentered they will be disqualified from all following events of that Championship, even if entered legitimately, and the individual and their club will be referred to the ANI/UAC liaison committee who will decide if further action needs to be taken
All officials will be made aware of these regulations as part of the pre-event briefing.
