Throwing
This event will be an open session, meaning that each competitor may come as he/she has the opportunity. This helps to afford the participants the opportunity to compete in other events without fear of missing an event. There will be 6 areas (3 on the men’s side and 3 on the women’s side) to throw. The starting line official will ensure the participant has the shot-put or discus and is ready to throw. The officials who mark the distance thrown will then measure the distance and give the results to the chairperson. The return will return the objects thrown to the starting line. The chairperson will have the final decision in any dispute in scoring and play.
