The Committee desire to point out that the Army Championships
are considered to be closed events and the A.A.A. Rules for
Competitions do not always apply.

to deposit the sum of £1. In the event of the protest being
upheld, the deposit will be refunded. If the protest is not upheld,
the deposit will be forfeited.
5. The decision of the Judges shall be final.
6. All questions as to the starting of a race shall be in the
absolute discretion of the starter, whose decision shall be final.

the regulations, it shall be decided by the Committee. The
decision of this Committee shall be final.
S. Two Miles, One Mile, and 440 Yards Relays.
—The
handing-
over will be by Baton.
All races round the track will be run left-handed—i.e., counter-
clockwise.
At each hand-over place :—
A line will be drawn 10 yards each side and parallel to the
starting or handing-over line. The hand-over must be carried
out between these two lines.
Lines will be drawn parallel to the side of the track to
denote stations. Each team will retain its station for taking-
over and handing-over throughout the race.
It must be noted that, except in the
440
Yards Relay, this
does not affect running
between
the handing-over places,
where any competitor may take the inside berth, provided he
does not foul or impede another runner.
The 440 Yards Relay will be run in lanes.
The start and hand-overs will be staggered as necessary.
9. " Up and Down " Relays.
(a) 880 Yards Relay.
—This event will be run " up and
down " on the tangent track in double width strings or
lanes.

Two lines of hurdles will be allotted to each team.
Orderlies will be posted to put up hurdles immediately
they may be knocked down.
In the event of a competitor knocking down three or
more hurdles, thus disqualifying his team, the team
shall receive :—
(i) If in the Preliminary Heats, 2 points.
(ii) If in the Final Heats, the lowest number of
points in the heat in which the team takes part.
