Long Jump handicap guidelines
Each competitor will be allocated a handicap based on how far they are from achieving an 8 metre jump, based around their personal bests and recent performances. E.g. athlete A has a recent PB of 6.40m, therefore their handicap will be 1.6m.
Handicaps will be in 10cm increments and the maximum handicaps to be given will be 2.5m for men (5.50m equivalent jump) and 3.5m for women (4.50m equivalent jump).
Handicaps are subject to adjustment for the following carnival/s if personal bests are achieved.
