Information About Masters Records
RECORDS: World, Australian and Queensland Records for Sprints up to and including 400 metres, are not allowed unless Electronic Timing is used. For all events longer than 1500 metres, the Competitor is required to have a Lap Scorer for a Record. Lap scoring sheets are to be handed in.
Hand Timing: Competitors who think they may break a track record in events longer than 400 Metres, should ask the Head Timekeeper to have three watches on their Run or Walk. The three times are to be noted on the Result Sheets with the middle time rounded up to a tenth of a second and listed as the result.
Three watches are not required for Electronically Timed Events. (Except as back-up watches in case of a malfunction) For Sprints and Jumps, a Wind Gauge is required. For Throws and Jumps, a Steel Tape for World and Australian Records is required.
Queensland, Australian and World Records set in QMA Competition or any other Official Competition which is attended by the Statistician will be noted and recorded. A Member may set a Masters Record (consistent with the above conditions), during any other Recognised Competition such as QA Interclub or Country Events or any Competition where the Statistician is not in attendance, which is conducted by Registered Officials.
If there is a possibility of a Queensland, Australian or World Record being broken, ask the
Statistician for the Official Forms to keep on hand.
