ENTRY RULES

  • Only athletes aged 16 or 17 on 31 December in the year of the competition (born in 1994 or 1995) may compete.
     
  • A maximum of two athletes from any one Member can compete in each event (with exception of the Relays).
     
  • Three athletes can initially be entered per event, provided each has achieved the Entry Standard, but only two will be allowed to compete.
  • The maximun number of events that an athlete can compete in is two individual events plus the Relays. If the two individual events are Track Events, only one of these two individual races may be longer then 200m.
  • Every Member may enter one team for each relay race, composed by a maximun of six athletes. Any four athletes among those entered for the competition, whether for the relay or for any other event, may then be used in the composition of the team for the first round.
  • Unqualified athletes:
  • Members who have no male and/or female qualified athletes whom they wish to enter may enter one unqualified male athlete and/or one unqualified female athlete in one event of the Championships (except the Combined Events).
  • Member Federations who have no male and/or no female qualified athlete but whose best athlete excels in a field event, may submit to the IAAF, by the time of the Preliminary Entry deadline, the name(s) of their athlete(s) plus performance(s) they would like to enter in the fields events. The Technical Delegates will make the final decision and, to do so, may seek the opinion of the relevant Area Association.
  • Entries for unqualified athletes must be submitted by 31 May 2011. If another athlete then achives the entry standard before the end of the qualification period, it will be possible to change the entry accordingly.
  • If the host country of the World Youth Championships does not have an athlete qualified in a event, it may enter one athlete in these events regardless of any entry standard.
