Area 5 Team Selection Policies
- Tetrathlon Championships Area 5 Teams Selection Policy
From the Area 5 competitors who qualify to compete at the Tetrathlon Championships but are not part of any branch team, the Area 5 Tetrathlon committee can select one Open team, one Intermediate team and one Junior team. All teams contain 3 or 4 people and can be any mix of boys and girls.
The selection will be made by three members of the Area 5 Tetrathlon Committee who have no direct interest in any of the competitors as parents or coaches.
The Selection Committee will select the teams which are likely to score the most points based on performance at the Area 5 Tetrathlon Qualifier where possible.
If any competitors have applied out of area they must inform the Area 5 Tetrathlon Committee before 15 June then provide a copy of the permission and details of their scores as soon as possible.
The Selection Committee will consider any differences in competition conditions when comparing out of area scores to those at the Area 5 Qualifier and reserve the right to give priority to those who competed at the Area 5 Qualifier if results are similar. 4 June 2024
