and pass skittle over first boy's head, under second boy's legs, over third
boy, under 4th boy to 5th boy who runs to the front and starts again, over
then under. Keep repeating until first boy is back at the front of the line.
(Teams with <5 boys will have to get boys from front to run to the back to
make up the numbers each time. Just remember that you will probably get
confused when the game is finished - game is finished when a 5th boy runs to
the front!).
- Loaded: First boy runs from start marker,
around top marker where he picks up one item, back to finish marker and gives
it to second boy. Second boy takes this item back to top marker where he picks
up a second item and takes that back to the next boy. This boy carries both
items to marker and picks up a third item and so on. Fifth boy brings all five
items to finish marker, team sits down.

football from start marker, around markers to top marker and back to finish
marker to the next boy.

different boy stand out for each game.
- Teams with <4 boys will have to get boys to run
twice to make up to 4 boys.
- Companies are encouraged to enter more than one team.
Please make sure the boys know which Company they belong to (would be helpful
if they could wear a Company name sticker / ID)
- Every team's score counts. The winning Company will be
the single team with the highest score.
- Total number of teams entering will be divided randomly
into two groups by the organiser before the competition. Each event will be
played twice, teams in Group A playing first, followed by Group B. Where
possible Groups will be arranged so Companies entering more than one team will
be represented in both Group A and Group B.
- As soon as each your team finishes they must sit down.
The teams will be awarded positions only once sitting.
- The first four teams to finish and be sitting down
after each event will be given points. 1st = 8 points, 2nd = 6 points, 3rd = 4
points, 4th = 2 points.
- Four judges will be appointed (volunteers required
please) to decide on finishing positions.
- After every event boys finishing in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
position will be given card to give to Head Judge who will record result on
master scoreboard.
- Event will be outside. Should there be very heavy rain
we will be in the Hall.
- Games may be omitted depending on time (and if inside).
JS Triathlon Rules
Companies may enter as many teams of 3 boys as they like.
Teams of less than 3 boys will be at a severe disadvantage, but are still
welcome to take part, or form mixed teams where numbers permit.
Please advise Andrew
Burchell of the number of boys that you expect to
be entering.
- The competiton consists of three events; skill, mental
& stamina.
- For each event the teams will be ranked in order (so
the 1st placed team gets 1 point, 2nd placed team gets 2 points and so on).
- The scores for each event are then added up to find out
which team wins the overall event.
Skills
- Teams will demonstrate their skills at a variety of
challenges, e.g. dribbling, shooting, throwing
- Details will be given out on the day
- All boys in a team do each activity & score points
in accordance with the score card for the event
Mental
- Teams will be given a mental challenge involving
words
Stamina
- All boys take part in a run around a marked course (the
run will take between 5 & 10 minutes if you run all of the way). At the
end of the race boys will be handed a position card. This must then be taken
to the scorer who will allocate the appropriate points to the teams. All
finishing places will contribute to the scores. Any boys who fail to complete
the course will come in joint last place. If a team has less than 3 boys, the
"missing" boys will score as if they came in joint last place.
Company
Assuming it's the same as last year, as nobody has told me
otherwise...
The Pentathlon events are:
- 100m
- 400m
- Long jump
- Discus
- Throwing the welly
2 boys from each company may enter each discipline, but
you may have 2 different boys for each discipline! Events will be
staggered across the time allowed so if you only have 5 boys they will be able
to do all 5 disciplines.
Senior Tennis
Provisional rules are below and may be subject to revision before or during
the event at the discretion of the organiser.
- Boys enter as individuals.
- A league will be set up so boys will play a random selection from the
competition.
- Matches will consist of up to 6 games. Matches will stop if one player
wins 4 games, so possible scores are 4-0, 4-1, 4-2 or 3-3.
- Games will follow normal tennis rules.
- In the league, boys score 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw. "Game
Difference" will work in the same way as goal differemce, e.g. if a boy wins a
match 4-1, he will have a Game Difference of +3.
- The number of rounds in the league will be determined by how quickly the
matches last.
- Boys must provide their own raquets.
Boys must be registered by Friday evening so Steve has a chance to set up the
league.
Each match will need a referee, so companies taking part will need to provide
a referee if at all possible. The number of available referees may well limit
the number of matches that can be played simultaneously, and hence the number of
rounds in the league.
