5 RULES Overview The West Yorkshire Primary Final will feature teams from each area of the county competing. Teams Eligibility any child on the SEN register (other than Emotional and Behavioural) includes Deaf and Autistic children. Structure Teams should consist of 5-8 young people aged 5 to 11 yrs. (6-8 is the ideal number in a team). School teams will stay together throughout all the activity rotations and collect team points. Once the rotations have been complete and after a short lunch break, non-scoring relay races will take place, followed by team presentations. Details Primary Panathlon runs on a rotational system whereby competitors get to take part in each of the activities (number of activities depending upon final entries) for approx. 7 minutes. At the beginning of each rotation the officials will demonstrate and explain the activity. A whistle will then start the activity and after 7 minutes a whistle will stop the activity. After fa set number of rotations there is a scheduled snack and water break (approx mins), followed by the final set of rotations. There will be a 20-minute lunch break. If time permits, Competitors then have an opportunity to take part in non-scoring fun races before the medal ceremony. Every competitor will receive a medal and certificate. Each team is ranked on their performance at each activity with a sliding scale of points. Scores from each rotation are then added to arrive at an overall team total. 5

ACTIVITIES (Eight activities are outlined, however, more or less may be offered dependent on entries). Each team is encouraged to have as many attempts as possible within the 7 minutes.

6 ACTIVITIES (Eight activities are outlined, however, more or less may be offered dependent on entries). Each team is encouraged to have as many attempts as possible within the 7 minutes. Teachers and adults are not able to assist. Flight Path One competitor throws at a time and the rotational order must be the same throughout the activity. Competitors throw Velcro balls from different distances marked by a line. (See diagram yellow, blue, red, green). Wheelchair uses can throw from the first line. Throwers need to hit the same target colour as the corresponding line. (Throw from blue line = aim at blue target area) 4 throws each (one throw from each line) then the next competitor throws Points are awarded every time the ball hits or sticks to the correct target colour. 4 points for yellow, 3 points blue, 2 points red, 1 point for green. Individual points are added together for a team score. In the event of a tie at the end of the competition- the number of bullseyes (yellow colour) will break the tie. 6

Parachute Popcorn Competitors stand spread out around the outside of the parachute lifting the parachute up which contain six blue, red, yellow and green playballs 24 in total When the parachute is

they are placed in the corresponding coloured collector. The stopwatch will stop when all the balls have been collected.

7 Parachute Popcorn Competitors stand spread out around the outside of the parachute lifting the parachute up which contain six blue, red, yellow and green playballs 24 in total When the parachute is shaken the balls fly off the parachute, the official will collect the parachute in, then say GO which starts the stopwatch indicating for the competitors to start collecting the balls ensuring that they are placed in the corresponding coloured collector. The stopwatch will stop when all the balls have been collected. Competitors are only allowed to pick up one ball at a time to take it to the collector. The teams time is recorded when 24 balls are placed in the correct coloured collectors e.g. 6 red/6 blue/6 yellow/6 green. Teams may have as many attempts within the 7 minutes, to achieve their best time. The best time is then recorded. (A minimum of 2 timed results must be recorded). In the event of a tie after all the rounds the second-best time will break the tie. Boccia Blast All competitors must be sat on chairs (8 in total) in a line with the boccia balls on the floor in front of each player (8 balls) Team players take it in turns (seated) to throw a boccia ball at a ball in a hoop, target area or skittles to score. The referee will indicate whose turn it is by using a paddle. (Blue/Red) Scoring 1 point if the ball is knocked out of the near hoop. 2 points if boccia ball lands and remains in a hoop further from the throw line. 3 points if a skittle is knocked over. Note this is not replaced until all the players have thrown in the end. 7

The targets are set up in the shape of a triangle- 1 hoop at the front with the ball (1 point) 2 hoops in the middle (2 points) 2 skittles at the back (3 points).

8 The targets are set up in the shape of a triangle- 1 hoop at the front with the ball (1 point) 2 hoops in the middle (2 points) 2 skittles at the back (3 points). Once the end has finished (all the players have thrown their ball) the team players retrieve the team s boccia balls and the referee will start the game (end) again. The team s best end score is taken as their final score. In the event of a tie at the end of the competition, the team s second-best score will break the tie. New Age Kurling One competitor delivers at a time and the rotational order must be the same throughout the activity Each competitor has three stones to score as many points as they can - competitors slide kurling stones onto the scoring target. Competitors slide the stones from a marked area which is 2m away from the target area. This can be varied, depending upon floor surface. A different coloured stone is placed at the right corner of the mat. If this is hit and the stone comes to rest on a scoring area the points are doubled. A competitor s score is taken after the third delivery by calculating the points of the stones on the scoring areas The team s score is calculated by adding the lowest score and the highest score together. In the event of a tie and the end of the competition the next highest and lowest scores (added) will break the tie. 8

9 Table Cricket Involves 2 competitors at a time, 1 batter and 1 bowler. The rotational order must be the same throughout the activity. Other team members stand around the outside of the table and rotate clockwise around the table, in turn, becoming batter and bowler. Each student has 4 bats (or 4 bowls) before rotating around the table. Bowler rolls the ball down the ramp and then batter hits the ball against the side of the table aiming for the scoring targets 6, 4 and 2, accumulating runs. If a player misses the ball they score 0 If ball is hit off the table there is a 5 run penalty (-5). If they hit the ball to a fielder tab they score 0 runs. The team s score is calculated by adding the lowest score and the highest score. In the event of a tie and the end of the competition the next highest and lowest scores (added) will break the tie. Precision Beanbag 1 player is seated in a chair at the edge of the mat. The rotational order must be the same throughout the activity. 9

Scoring in 7 areas (12,10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1) 5 beanbags to throw. To score, each beanbag must finish in a different target area e.g. (if 2 beanbags are thrown into the same box, only one counts) The score is taken from where the beanbag first lands not its finishing position.

10 Scoring in 7 areas (12,10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1) 5 beanbags to throw. To score, each beanbag must finish in a different target area e.g. (if 2 beanbags are thrown into the same box, only one counts) The score is taken from where the beanbag first lands not its finishing position. Unless it finishes out of the scoring box then the score will be 0. e.g. (bean bag hits 12 then slides off the mat-score=0) The team s score is calculated by adding the lowest score and the highest score. In the event of a tie and the end of the competition the next highest and lowest scores (added) will break the tie. Ten Pin Topple The objective is to knock down as many pins (skittles) as possible in the 7 minutes. The 10 pins (skittles) are placed in a straight-line formation, parallel to the delivery line. 3 metres Collection area Safe area The rotational order must be the same throughout the activity. Competitors are placed in a safe area in a single line. Player 1 bowls the ball underarm from behind the delivery line. If one of the pins is hit (only one can be picked up per go) they collect it from the official and place it in the pin collection area before returning to the back of the queue. Player 2 etc Once all the pins have been knocked down the pin formation is replaced. A large cone is placed in the collection area to signify a score of ten. The team s score is calculated by adding the number of large cones (which equals 10 per cone) plus the number of additional pins left in the collection area after 7 minutes. 10

11 Harlem Hoops The rotational order must be the same throughout the activity. Competitors are placed behind a single line. Player 1 initially shoots the ball from line 1 and has a total of 3 shots. Scoring A basket scored from the first line scores 1 point. A basket scored from the second line scores 2 points. A basket scored from the third line scores 3 points If a basket is scored from line 1 move back to the next line (line 2) if the shot is missed remain at line 1. If the shot from line 2 is made move to line 3. If the shot is missed stay at line 2. After three shots, the next player has their go. The team s total score is the number of points scored after 7 minutes. In the event of a tie at the end of the competition the deciding factor will be the number of 3 points scored, followed by the number of 2 points if required. 11
