Which officials must I appoint?

• Technical delegate: for an event to be eligible, the provincial athletics body appoints a technical delegate from its list of eligible national and provincial technical officials. The delegate checks that the event meets minimum standards, including licensing and numbering, and must report violations. Budget for this official (ASA Rules 17 and 26.2). In road and off-road races, if the budget can't support a separate delegate, one of the appointed referees may also act as technical delegate.
• Eligible technical officials: you must use eligible ASA technical officials to regulate the event (Rule 13.1.8). Officials may not compete in events where they're on duty.
• Medical delegate: a qualified doctor or registered medical services provider (Rule 18).
• Safety officer: a qualified safety officer must be appointed (Rule 13.1.12).
• Back-up timekeepers when chip timing is used (Rule 21.3.4.3).

The organiser must have a mandate from a club, province or associate member to organise an event on the ASA national or provincial fixtures list.
