World Athletics Permit Meets

AV Thowers meets listed with the World Athletics Permit logo above will be ratified by World Athletics and Athletics Australia, in the listed races/field sheets only. Athletes competing in these races/field sheets can qualify for international and national competition, accumulate World Athletics ranking points, break Athletics Victoria and Athletics Australian records, and have their performances added to World Athletics top lists. These will be ratified as ‘F’ Permit Meets.

All other events will be ratified as a State permit, allowing athletes to qualify for the National Championships. 

Field Size Restrictions

As per previous years, each of the field events will have restricted fields.

We will look to accept the top six athletes eligible for World Athletics Results for both Male and Female applicants into the final field. In order to compete in these specialized throwers meets, you must have reached an entry standard to ensure the meet is targeted toward elite throwing athletes which differentiates the event for any AVSL round. To help determine which athletes make up the field, there will be a Category A and Category B entry requirement that an athlete can attain, this will determine their likelihood of being chosen to compete in the event.

Where time permits additional athletes will be accepted, but as these are World Athletics Sanctioned Meets, and those athletes eligible to obtain World Athletics Results will be prioritised.

Entry Standards.

Category A:

Open and Under 20 athletes who have thrown a national qualifier. If there are more than 6 open athletes who have thrown a national qualifying standard, seasons bests (from 01/01/2024) will determine who makes the start list.

Category B:

In the regular case in which a field is not filled through the Category A requirements, the Category B standard is put in place to decide which athletes make up the field. This will be based on the % of the seasons best (from 01/01/2024) when compared to the national qualifying standard for their age group. If an athlete has not reached at least 75% of the national qualifying standard for an event, they will be ineligible to compete during these throwers’ competitions.

2024/25 Athletics Australia National Entry Standards

Para Athletes:

We will accept Para entries on a case-by-case scenario, again prioritizing Under 20 and Open athletes eligible for Wolrd Athletics competition.
