From World Athletics

• ,
  • • “Members who have no male and/or female qualified athletes whom they wish to enter in any Championships event, may enter one unqualified male athlete OR one unqualified female athlete in one event of the Championships (except the Field Events (see below), Combined Events, 5000m and 3000m Steeplechase).

• Members who have no male and/or no female qualified athlete but whose best athlete excels in a Field Event, may submit to World Athletics, by the time of the Preliminary Entry deadline, the name of their athlete plus performance they would like to enter in the Field Event. The Technical Delegates will make the final decision and, to do so, may seek the opinion of the relevant Area Association.”

Singapore Athletics universality criteria conditions:

• • The athlete, whose performance in the qualification period is closest to the qualification standard in terms of percentage off the qualifying mark, might be nominated to represent Singapore.

Athletes’ performances under the qualification period will be ranked using percentile under WA’s scoring table.

For example:

100m Women 11.90s Qualification time & Athlete SB is 12.01s
[(Qualification time - Season best) / Qualification time] x 100%
[(1011 - 990) / 1011] * 100%
= 2.1% off qualification time

• Any form of appeals must be submitted within seven (7) calendar days of the date of announcement of the selection, to the

Honorary Secretary
