How it works
The Australian Teams Championship is for Under 13 athletes. All events
are offered, with two boys and girls able to compete in each event. The
team size is limited to 22, so athletes who are able to do more than one
event have a distinct advantage.
The Multi-Event Championships are for Under 15 athletes. Two boys and
two girls are selected for the multi-event competition.
As the ATC's is a team competition, athletes are selected on their
ability to score points for the team. An athlete who has good performances
in two or three events can be more valuable to the team than an athlete
who can only score in one. A maximum of 22 athletes can be selected.
The Multi Event program is a fixed five event program. All athletes who
nominate for the multi event must complete all five events. Two boys and two girls will be selected.
