Scheduling notes

Scheduling notes:

The WMA technical delegates shall create a more detailed version of the timetable in cooperation with the LOC, as soon after as all the entries   have been received.

All finals shall be organized on their scheduled dates, even if a qualifying round or semifinals have possibly been left out from the program (due to small amount of entries). In these occasions, the event shall be organized as a so called direct final. (on a scheduled final-day)

When the track events have qualifying rounds marked or the running events are marked with preliminary rounds on the schedule, all confirmed competitors are required to report to these rounds and succeed in them on a prescribed fashion to qualify.
The same rules apply automatically in semifinals of the running events.

All vertical jumps (high jump and pole vault) shall be organized as a direct final only (in one flight).

The horizontal jumps and throws that are marked in the schedule as a direct final, shall be organized so that each competitor first has three attempts. After this the top eight (8) competitors, with a qualified result, shall perform three following attempts in a reversed order. The reversed order will be made from the order that is current after the first three rounds.

The horizontal jumps and throws that are marked in the schedule with qualifying competition will go through in two separate groups. In qualifying competition each competitor has three attempts. At least 12 competitors will go to final. Final will be held in next day of competitions.

Vertical jumps and throwing events marked with qualifying competition shall have qualifying standards. When competitor reaches qualifying standard, he/she can no longer continue qualifying competition.

Results made in qualifying competition are also suitable to be records
