Back by popular demand, Commonwealth Games Scotland is opening a ‘Scotland House’ during the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Scotland House will be hosted at the Mantra on View Hotel, in the heart of the famous Surfers Paradise, just 160m from the beach. The first floor mezzanine level will be transformed into a welcoming home from home, to celebrate Scotland’s sporting success and host a range of events linked to the Commonwealth Games.

Scotland House will also include a private space for Team Scotland athletes and their families and friends to meet and relax before and after competition. The hotel has a tram stop 100m away which goes to the Athletes Village or down to Broadbeach and the Main Press Centre.

Scotland House will open daily from Monday 2 April until Sunday 15 April inclusive and is being run in conjunction with VisitScotland. There will be an information desk open daily from 0800hrs to 0930hrs, with Scotland House being fully open from 1000hrs to 2300hrs and later on some evenings where required.

We look forward to welcoming Gold Coast 2018 accredited media to Scotland House where the majority of Team Scotland press conferences and post competition media activity will be held and to other Team and partner events by invitation.

WELCOME

As Chair of Commonwealth Games Scotland, it is my pleasure to extend our very best wishes to you in your coverage of the

Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Within this comprehensive Team Scotland media guide you will find detailed biographical information on all of our athletes who will represent Scotland with great pride and determination in Australia, as well as a guide to the 18 sports on the Games programme.

The Commonwealth Games is the only multi-sport Games in which Scots get to compete under the Scotland flag, making it extremely special.

It is nearly four years since our home Games in Glasgow and not only was it publicly declared as ‘the best Games ever’, Team Scotland delivered its best performance ever, winning 53 medals and creating numerous memorable moments that will live on in Commonwealth Games history.

As we make our final preparations for Gold Coast, our mission is clear and we head ‘down under’ aiming to win more than the 29 medals we won at Melbourne 2006, which would represent our best overseas Games ever.

Given a number of changes to the sport programme from Glasgow and the fact that for many sports they are competing out of season in the southern hemisphere, this will be no mean feat. However I am confident we have selected a fabulous team that will rise to the challenge and perform with distinction, making the Scottish public very proud.

Our research continues to show how important the success of Team Scotland is to the Scottish public and how they strongly associate with our Team values: Proud, United, Ambitious, Inspirational and Inclusive. I am sure Team Scotland’s performance in Gold Coast, flying the flag for Scotland on the international stage will continue to excite and inspire the nation.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our partners especially the Scottish Government, sportscotland, CGI and Emirates for their magnificent support, helping to ensure we can provide our athletes with the best possible environment to excel at the Games.

I look forward to being in Gold Coast to support our team and share some magical moments that will continue to make Team Scotland the pride of the nation.

WELCOME

Aileen Campbell MSP

I am delighted to have this opportunity to wish all athletes and support staff selected to represent Team Scotland my very best

wishes and good luck for the XXI Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast.

To represent your country is a great honour and you should be very proud of this fantastic achievement. You should take great pride and encouragement knowing that people from all over Scotland will be cheering you on.

In 2014, the eyes of the Commonwealth were on Glasgow which were the “greatest games ever”, and again all eyes will be on Scotland when the Team will be first to enter the opening ceremony.

Your participation will continue to inspire future generations of Scots to perhaps follow in your footsteps, or just encourage everyone in Scotland to have a healthy and active lifestyle. 2018 is the Year of Young People and we are working hard to encourage young people to take up a sport or physical activity by highlighting the physical and mental health benefits this can bring. Your performances at the Games will go a long way in supporting this. Role models are extremely important and I am sure you will all take your responsibilities of being an ambassador for Scotland extremely seriously.

On behalf of the people of Scotland, I would like to wish you all every success.

Aileen Campbell MSPMinister for Public Health and Sport

WELCOME

Mel Young MBE

Is it really four years since the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games?

Time flies when you are having fun and everybody involved in Scottish sport has been busy building on the legacy of those spectacular Games.

Creating a world class sporting system is hard work as well as a lot of fun. It takes dedication, resolve, collaboration and the commitment of a great deal of time.

All of the athletes selected for Team Scotland understand this, because they have found out what it takes to achieve progression on their own individual journeys to Gold Coast. It takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears, a lot of sacrifices – and they will all be worth it when these excellent athletes go out to compete for Team Scotland on the world stage in Australia.

The home Games of 2014 was a once-in-a-generation experience and one of the things that made it so special was the number of medals won by Scottish athletes across so many sports. This did not happen by accident; it was the result of advanced high-performance planning between the respective sports and the sportscotland institute of sport, followed by smooth execution by the athletes and coaches.

We set some high medal targets four years ago – to achieve a best-ever home Games – and Team Scotland surpassed them. The bar will again be set high for Gold Coast 2018, where the target is to achieve the best-ever away Games.

By representing our country on the world stage, the athletes of Team Scotland are inspiring countless people to join a club or get involved in a sport, knowing that dreams can be achieved. I wish them the very best of luck and I know they will do us proud.

Flower of Scotland

O flower of ScotlandWhen will we seeYour like againThat fought and died forYour wee bit hill and glenAnd stood against himProud Edward’s armyAnd sent him homewardTae think again

The hills are bare nowAnd autumn leaves lie thick and stillO’er land that is lost nowWhich those so dearly heldAnd stood against himProud Edward’s armyAnd sent him homewardTae think again

Those days are passed nowAnd in the past they must remainBut we can still rise nowAnd be the nation againThat stood against himProud Edward’s armyAnd sent him homewardTae think again

WELCOME TO THE TEAM

Jon Doig OBE

I am delighted to introduce you to Team Scotland 2018. With over 220 athletes selected, it is the biggest team we have ever sent

to an overseas Games, all ready to fly the flag for Scotland on the international stage.

Gold Coast 2018 is the first Games to host an equal number of medal events for men and women and I am pleased to report that Scotland has selected 93 women, the biggest female contingent to travel away to a Commonwealth Games.

We look forward to participating in all 18 sports and six of the seven Para-Sports on the Games programme and with a number of Olympic, Paralympic, World, Commonwealth and European medallists across the team, we believe we are capable of achieving our target of 29 medals.

58% of the team will be making their Games debut, while seven athletes were on the Team last time we were in Australia for Melbourne 2006. For Bowler Alex Marshall and Shooter Ian Shaw, it will be their sixth Games.

The Commonwealth Youth Games and our Achieve Programme continue to demonstrate their worth with 29 athletes for 2018 having come through these important development initiatives.

We welcome back Basketball to the Team for the first time since 2006 and we are delighted to have two female entries in women’s Boxing for the very first time.

It will also be exciting to see Beach Volleyball make its Games debut and Scotland will be represented in both men’s and women’s pairs on the magnificent Coolangatta Beachfront.

We have always prided ourselves on being the best prepared team possible and this year is no exception. But none of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our sports governing bodies and the sportscotland institute of sport, providing a world class team behind the team.

We are particularly grateful for the sportscotland National Lottery funding to support our Team Camp on the Sunshine Coast, where the majority of sports will either pass through for acclimatisation or to use as a training bases ahead of the Games.

I look forward to seeing many of you on the Gold Coast and sharing some memorable sporting moments.

VenueOptus Aquatic CentreMarine Parade, Southport QLD 4225

Competition FormatAll Aquatics events are conducted according to the rules of the International Aquatic Federation (FINA). A total of 60 gold medals will be contested.

SWIMMING

Swimming is one of the most competitive sports at the Commonwealth Games. Events are held in Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly and Individual Medley with distances ranging from 50m -1500m. Each country can enter a maximum of three athletes per individual event and one team per relay event.

The swimming programme runs over six days with heats (morning) and finals (evening) held for each event. The fastest eight swimmers progress from the heats through to the final. However, for 50m and 100m individual events, the format follows heats (morning) with 16 going through to semi-finals (evening) and then the fastest eight go into the final the following evening.

Para-Sport events will be contested as heats and finals dependant on the number of entries. If relay or Para-Sport events attract eight or fewer entries they will be contested as straight finals.

In the event of an equal time being registered for eighth (final) and sixteenth (semi-final) place, there shall be a swim-off to determine which swimmer shall advance to the appropriate finals, with the swim-off held after all involved swimmers have completed their heats.

Aquatics consists of the disciplines of Swimming and Diving which have both been contested in every Games since they began in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. Swimming and Para-Swimming are core disciplines at the Commonwealth Games while Diving is an optional discipline and is included on the Gold Coast 2018 programme.

Since 2002 Para-Sport events for elite athletes with a disability have also been included on the Aquatics programme with the events and classifications included varying from Games to Games.

Para-Sport Swimming ClassificationsThe classes are prefixed with “S” for Freestyle, Butterfly and Backstroke events, “SB” for Breaststroke and “SM” for Individual Medley events. Swimmers with physical disabilities are divided into ten classes based on their degree of functional impairment. Sport classes S11-13 are for athletes with a visual impairment and S14 for athletes with an intellectual impairment.• S7/SM7: For athletes with one leg and one

arm amputation on opposite sides, double leg amputations or a paralysis of one arm and one leg on the same side. Moreover, swimmers with full control over arms and trunk and some leg function can compete in this class.

• S8/SM8: Swimmers who have lost either both hands or one arm are eligible to compete in this sport class. Also, athletes with severe restrictions in the joints of the lower limbs could compete in this sport class.

• S9/SB8/SM9: Athletes in this sport class swim with joint restrictions in one leg, double below-the-knee amputations or an amputation of one leg.

• SB9/SM10: This class describes the minimal impairments of eligible swimmers with physical impairment. Eligible impairments would be the loss of a hand or both feet and a significantly limited function of one hip joint.

• S14: Swimmers with intellectual impairment who also meet the sport-specific criteria compete in this sport class.

LONG COURSE: A swimming competition which takes place in a 50m pool as opposed to a short course pool which is 25m long.

MEDLEY: A combination event in which a swimmer swims separate legs of all four strokes - butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. In the medley relay the sequence of strokes is backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle.

NEGATIVE SPLIT: When a swimmer swims the second half of the race faster than the first.

TAPERING: Reduction of workload during a period of training immediately prior to a major competition.

TUMBLE TURN: An underwater roll at the end of a length, which allows the swimmer to push off from the end of the pool with their feet and maintain momentum.

DIVINGTo date Diving has also featured on the programme of every Commonwealth Games.

Styles of dives include front, back, reverse, inward, twist and armstand, with points awarded according to technique and grace.Divers submit the dives they will perform in advance of the competition. The more difficult the dive, the higher points it can score if executed well. Judges marks are multiplied by the dive’s difficulty tariff, of which there are five levels.

In Synchronised Diving events, pairs of athletes dive in tandem and are assessed for their execution and synchronisation by a separate group of judges.

Countries may enter a maximum of three athletes for each individual event and two pairs for each synchronised event.

Medal EventsThere are five events for both men and women which will be held over four days of competition.

Men Women1m Springboard 1m Springboard3m Springboard 3m Springboard10m Platform 10m PlatformSynchronised 3m Springboard Synchronised 3m SpringboardSynchronised 10m Platform Synchronised 10m Platform

The competition format consists of preliminaries and finals for individual events with the top 12 divers (including all tied for 12th place) progressing through to finals. Synchronised events will be straight finals.

Men perform six rounds of dives per competition and women perform five rounds of dives per competition. The scores from the preliminary rounds will contribute towards qualification for the finals, where each diver’s total score returns to zero at the beginning of the final.

RIP ENTRY: The entry into the water during a dive with little or no splash.

TWIST: A twist during a dive occurs when the diver rotates around an axis that runs from their head to their toes.

ARMSTAND: A platform dive that begins from the hands.

TUCK: The tuck position resembles a ball with the knees bent and pulled up as close to the body as possible.

PIKE: A diving position where the diver bends the body at the hips but keeps their legs straight.

Field EventsField events are grouped as jumping and throwing events.

The finals of both jumping and throwing events take place with a maximum of 12 athletes. To reduce the participating number, these events follow the format of A and B Qualifying Pools with the top 12 progressing to the final.

JumpsHigh Jump, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Pole Vault

High JumpCompetitors attempt to clear the bar taking off from one foot. The athlete is excluded from the contest after three successive failed attempts at any height.

Long JumpDuring the final of this event all competitors will be given three jumps, after which the top eight competitors are given a further three attempts, where they jump in reverse ranking order.

Triple Jump During the final of this event all competitors will be given three jumps, after which the top eight competitors are given a further three attempts, where they jump in reverse ranking order.

Pole VaultCompetitors use a long, flexible pole in an attempt to clear a high bar. Athletes are excluded from the competition after three consecutive failures, regardless of the height that any such failure occurs.

ThrowsDiscus, Hammer, Javelin, Shot Put

DiscusThe body of the discus is made of wood or other suitable material with a metal rim, the edge of which is circular. The discus is thrown from a concrete throwing circle of 2.5 diameter. To avoid risk to other competitors and the spectators the circle is surrounded in a U-shape by a netting cage to a height of at least 7m. The men’s disc weighs 2kg and 1.5kg for Para-Sport athletes and the women’s weighs 1kg.

During the final of this event all competitors will be given three throws, after which the top eight competitors are given a further three attempts, where they throw in reverse ranking order.

The hammer is thrown from a concrete throwing circle of 2.13m in diameter. As in the discus, spectators are protected by a netting cage. The men’s hammer weighs 7.26kg and the women’s weighs 4kg.


JavelinThe javelin is carried along a runway 30 to 36.5m long and 4m wide, at the end of which there is an arc-shaped line to define the throwing line. The men’s javelin weighs 800g and the women’s weighs 600g.


Shot PutThe shot, a metal ball, is thrown from a cement throwing circle of 2.13m diameter. The men’s shot weighs 7.26kg and the women’s shot weighs 4kg.

Track/RoadMen Women100m T11/T12 –100m T37/T38 100m T37/T38100m T45/T46/T47 100m T351500m T53/T54 1500m T53/T54Marathon T53/T54 Marathon T53/T54

FieldMen WomenMen Shot Put F37/F38 – Women Javelin F45/F46 Women Long Jump T37/38

Para-Athletics ClassificationsIn Athletics, the sport class consists of a prefix ‘T’ for Track and Jumps and ‘F’ for Field and indicates for which events the sport class applies.

T12 (T11 as eligible class)For athletes with varying degrees of visual

impairment. T11 includes athletes with the lowest vision and will run blindfolded with a guide runner. T12 athletes may choose to run with a guide, however, it is uncommon.

T35, T37, T38The 30s sport classes are allocated to athletes with athetosis, ataxia and/or hypertonia. The impairments typically affect the ability to control legs, trunk, arms and hands. T37 and T38 athletes show a better function in their legs and better trunk control and therefore compete standing.

T45-47 and F45/F46 These track or field events are for athletes with limb loss or deficiency in the arms to varying degrees e.g. double or single above-elbow amputation or a single limb deficiency/ amputation below the elbow or an equivalent muscle or joint impairment. T54 (T53 as eligible class)Athletes competing in wheelchair racing events for T53–54 sport classes differ in regards to their trunk, arm and shoulder functions, which are pertinent for pushing a wheelchair. T54 athletes have partial trunk and leg function, whilst T53 athletes have little or no trunk or leg power.

COUNTBACK: The process used to determine the winner of a high jump or pole vault competition in which two or more athletes are tied for the best jump. The athlete with the fewest attempts finishes highest.

WIND ASSISTANCE: The legal tailwind assistance for the 100m, 200m, long jump, triple jump and sprint hurdles is two metres per second or approximately 4.5 mph.

CAGE: The area from which competitors throw a discus or hammer.

SPORT JARGON

Doubles contests; only the line marks differ. The court is divided into two equal parts by a net attached to the posts at a height of 1.55m.

The ContestAn umpire, aided by a service judge and line judges, presides over a Badminton contest. Before the beginning of the contest, the umpire flips a coin. The winning athlete or pair can choose to serve or receive first or choose its side of the court.

To score a point, athletes have to hit the shuttlecock over the net with their rackets so that it lands on the opponent’s side. An athlete or pair loses the point if the shuttlecock hits the net, lands outside the court or if he or she commits a fault. The most common faults occur when:• The shuttlecock hits the athlete• The athlete’s racket or body touches the net• The shuttlecock hits the ground before

passing over the net• The shuttlecock is hit twice.

Serving• Serves must be diagonal• The server’s feet must be touching the

ground• The serve must be made from below the

waist• Players change ends after each gameand

in the third game when a side first scores 11 points

• During service in doubles, the partners can take up any position on their respective courts which do not unsight the opposing server or receiver

• During service in singles, the players serve from and receive in their respective right service courts when the server has not scored or has scored an even number of points in that game. Players serve from and receive in their respective left service courts when the server has scored an odd number of points in that game.

Scoring• A match is the best of three games• The winner of each game is the first

player(s) to reach 21, by two clear points

• At 20-all, the side which scores two consecutive points shall win that game

• At 29-all, the side scoring the 30th point shall win that game

• A point is scored by winning a rally. Points are scored regardless of who is serving and the side who wins the point serves the next point

• The side winning a game serves first in the next game.

EquipmentRacketA racket has the following parts: handle (known as the grip), shaft, throat and head, which is the stringed area. It weighs between 85g and 100g. Its length and width must not exceed 68cm and 23cm respectively.

ShuttlecockThe shuttlecock is made of a semi-spherical piece of cork coated with leather. On it are attached 16 goose feathers forming a cone. A shuttlecock must weigh between 4.74g and 5.5g.

(Day 11)

Venues• Preliminary rounds and a qualifying final:

Cairns Convention Centre, Sheridan Street and Wharf Street, Cairns City QLD and Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre, Entertainment Drive, Townsville QLD

• Finals: Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, 2684 – 2690 Gold Coast Highway, Broadbeach QLD.

Competition FormatCommonwealth Games Basketball competition is run under the rules of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).

Two medal events will be contested for the men’s team event and the women’s team event. The competition will include eight teams in each event consisting of 12 athletes.

In Commonwealth competition, both the men and the women share the same competition format and rules, initially beginning with a pool stage which forms the preliminary rounds of the competition.

The eight teams are divided into two Pools of four teams with the top four ranked teams placed in Pool A. At the conclusion of the Pool stage, the top two teams from Pool A will proceed to the semi-finals, whilst the bottom two teams from Pool A will play the top two teams from Pool B in the qualifying finals. The remaining two Pool B teams are eliminated. The winner of the qualifying finals will then proceed to compete in the semi-finals.

At the end of the preliminary round, after all the teams have played one game against every team in the group, teams shall be classified according to their win-loss record, namely 2 points for each game won, 1 point for each game lost (including lost by default) and 0 points for a game lost by forfeit.

If two or more teams have the same win-loss record of all games in the group, the game(s) between these two or more teams shall decide on the classification. If the two or more teams have the same win-loss record of the games between them, further criteria will be applied in the following order:• higher goal difference of the games between

them• higher number of goals scored in the games

between them• higher goal difference of all games in the

group• higher number of goals scored in all games

in the group.

Basketball is an optional sport in the Commonwealth Games and made its only previous appearance at Melbourne 2006. The sport makes its return for the Gold Coast 2018 Games.

RulesFIBA games last 40 minutes and are divided into four periods (‘quarters’) of 10 minutes each. The aim of each team is to score in the opponents’ basket and to prevent the opposing team from scoring. The team with the highest score at the end of the fourth period wins the game. If the score is tied at the end of the fourth period, the game will continue into overtime with as many extra periods of five minutes as is necessary to break the tie. In between each extra time period there is a break of two minutes.

Each team can have five players on the court and up to seven substitutes. Substitutions are rolling and can be made during a break in play.

Three referees decide whether infringements of the rules have been committed, with the assistance of four score bench officials: an official scorer and an assistant scorer, responsible for keeping the score; and a timekeeper and an operator of the 24-second clock.

Each team may hold possession of the ball for 24 seconds maximum before making a shot attempt. If this period expires before an attempt is made, the ball is tuned over to the opposing team.

ScoringPoints are scored when the ball is thrown completely through the ring. A successful field goal attempt from the area on or inside the three-point field goal line counts for two points. A successful attempt from outside the three-point field goal line (6.25m) counts for three. A successful free throw (as penalty for a foul or technical foul) counts for one.

FoulsAny action such as pushing, holding or hitting and opponent, as described by the rules, constitutes a foul. A violation with no intent to claim the ball but simply to stop the opposing player is classified as an unsportsmanlike foul, the penalty for which is two free throws and possession of the ball to the attaching team. ‘Technical fouls’ are all fouls not involving body contact with an opposing player.

A player who has committed five fouls, personal or technical, must automatically leave the game and be replaced within 30 seconds.

EquipmentField of PlayThe playing court for Basketball games is generally a sprung wooden court measuring 28 metres long and 15 metres wide.

UniformUniform shirt and shorts are worn. Teams must have two kits available, one dark-coloured and one light-coloured (normally white), so as to wear the one appropriate depending on the opponents colours. The player’s number and team (and, optionally, their name) are marked on the shirt.

BallThe ball for official games consists of leather and is pumped with air. It is 75 to 78cm in circumference and weighs 600 to 650g. The referee tests the ball for suitability before the start of the game.

111

BASKETBALL

SHOT CLOCK: A timer measuring the length of time since the last shot. If the ball doesn’t touch the rim or pass through the net within 24 seconds, possession passes to the opposition.

ASSIST: A pass that leads directly to a basket scored by a teammate.

TIME-OUT: If a coach wants to speak to the team he makes a T-sign with his hands and play is stopped for one minute.

DUNK: A one or two-handed slam directly into the net.

BEACH VOLLEYBALL

Competition Dates• Friday 6 April (Day 2) to Thursday 12 April

(Day 8)

Venue• Coolangatta Beachfront, Queen Elizabeth

Park, Coolangatta, QLD.

Competition FormatCommonwealth Games Beach Volleyball competition is run under the rules of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).

The Commonwealth Games competition will comprise two medal events featuring the Men’s and Women’s Team events. There will be 12 men’s teams and 12 women’s teams, with each team made up of two players.

Each gender is seeded into three pools, with the top teams advancing to the knockout phase of quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals.

The ranking of teams within their pools will be determined by the total number of match points, with the following points awarded per match to each team:

• Match won = 2 points• Match lost = 1 point• Match forfeited = 0 points

The top two teams in each pool along with the two best third ranked teams will progress to a single elimination phase. Note: that in the quarterfinals of the single elimination phase, no team can play a team from their same pool from the preliminary phase.

The winners of the semi-final matches will play for the gold and silver medals in the Gold Medal Match. The unsuccessful semi-finalists will then play for the bronze medal in the Bronze Medal Match.

RulesBeach Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams of two players on a sand court divided by a net. The sport may be played in any weather, except thunder and lightning.

As in indoor volleyball the object of the game is to send the ball over the net and to ground it on the opponent’s court, and to prevent the same effort by the opponent. A team is allowed up to three touches to return the ball across the net. The ball is put in play with a serve — a hit by the server from behind the rear court boundary over the net to the opponents. The rally continues until the ball is grounded on the playing court, goes “out”, or is not returned properly.

The team winning a rally scores a point (rally-point system) and serves to start the following rally. The four players serve in the same sequence throughout the match, changing server each time a rally is won by the receiving team.

Beach Volleyball is an optional sport in the Commonwealth Games and will make its debut at the Gold Cost 2018 Games in Australia, although it was held at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games in the Bahamas.



A new sport to the Games, Beach Volleyball will make its Youth Games and Commonwealth Games debuts just nine months apart. Bahamas 2017 and Gold Coast 2018.

Scotland’s Lynne Beattie captained Team GB’s Indoor Volleyball squad at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

BEACH VOLLEYBALL

Whenever a team fails to execute a legal service or to return the ball, or commits any other fault, the opposing team wins the rally, scores a point, and serves to start the next rally.

ScoringA match is the best of three sets and a set (except the deciding third set) is won by the team which first scores 21 points with a minimum lead of two points. In the case of a 20-20 tie, play is continued until a two-point lead is achieved.

In the case of a 1-1 tie, the deciding third set is played to 15 points with a minimum lead of two points.

To ensure that no team receives an advantage from the prevailing weather conditions, teams switch ends of the court after every seven points in sets one and two and every five points in set three. When the total points are 21 (adding the score of both teams) there is a technical time out.

FaultsThe ball may touch any part of the body (except during the serve, when only the hand or arm may make contact), but must be hit, not caught or thrown. During a hit, a player may only make contact with the ball once.

When receiving a ball from a hit that is not hard driven, the ball must be contacted ‘cleanly’. When receiving an opponent’s hard-driven attack, a double contact (provided both contacts occur in a single action) and/or a slight lift of the ball is allowed.

The differences between the rules of indoor volleyball and beach volleyball strongly affect tactics and techniques.

Block SignalsBeach volleyball players use hand signals (behind the back to hide them from the opposing team) to indicate the type of block they intend to make. They are usually given by the serving player’s partner prior to the serve.

A player may also ‘wiggle’ or ‘flash’ one block signal to indicate which opponent to serve to.If the server is the designated blocker, he or she may run up to the net to block after serving.Otherwise, the signaling player will perform the block.

Block signals may also be given during a rally while the opposing team is preparing their attack.

EquipmentField of PlayThe playing court is a rectangle measuring 16 x 8m, divided by a net and surrounded by a free zone. For official competitions, the free zone is a minimum of 5m and a maximum of 6m from the end lines/side lines. The free playing space shall measure a minimum of 12.5m in height from the playing surface.

The net is 8.5m long and 1 m (+/- 3cm) deep when it is hung taut, placed vertically over the middle of the court. The top of the net is set at a height of 2.43m for men and 2.24m for women and is made of 10cm square mesh.

The surface must be composed of levelled sand, as flat and uniform as possible, free of rocks, shells etc. and at least 40cm deep and composed of loosely compacted grains

Two side lines and two end lines mark the playing court. There is no centre line. Both side and end lines are placed inside the dimensions of the playing court.

Court lines should be 5cm wide ribbons of a contrasting colour to the sand and made of a resistant material, and any exposed anchors should be of a soft, flexible material.

BallThe ball should be spherical, made of a flexible material (leather, synthetic leather, or similar) which does not absorb moisture. It should be of a light uniform colour or a combination of colours, with a circumference: 66 - 68cm and weighing 260 - 280g. All three balls used in a match must be the same.

121

BEACH VOLLEYBALL

ACE: When a serve hits the sand without the opponent touching it.

BLOCK: When the player at the net jumps high in line with the opponents spike and plays or ‘blocks’ the ball directly back towards their opponents feet.

DIG: Using the forearms to pass the ball making a sturdy platform from which the ball rebounds. The dig is usually the first contact by a team when receiving serve and it is also used in defence.

SPIKE: This is the action that usually follows the ‘set’ when the ball is hit over the net.

SPORT JARGONUniformA player’s equipment consists of shorts or a bathing suit with a jersey or “tank-top”. Players may wear a hat/head covering and sunglasses.

Both players on a team must wear uniforms of the same colour and style and must play barefoot.

Players’ jerseys must be numbered 1 and 2 on the chest (or on the front of the shorts).The number must be of a contrasting colour to the jersey and a minimum of 10cm in height.

There is a random draw for all boxers into the preliminary round. The Commonwealth Games competition is a straight knockout format, with the winner of each bout proceeding to the next round. There is no repechage system. Bronze medals are awarded to the losers of both semi-final bouts, whilst the winners contest for gold and silver.

RulesBouts shall consist of three rounds of three minutes each for both men and women with a one-minute rest period between the rounds.

At the start of a match, athletes are called upon by the referee to the centre of the ring, where they shake hands, then return to their respective corners until the bell is rung to signal commencement of the bout.

A bout can be won by a win on points, if a contest is abandoned, the Referee stops the contest, a boxer is disqualified, by walkover and by knockout.

The scoring system used is based on a “Ten Point Must-System”. At the end of each round, each judge must determine the winning boxer of that round by awarding a score of

Boxing is a core sport in the Commonwealth Games and has been included in every Games since their inception in 1930. Scotland has won at least one medal at every Games and it is the only sport to have this impressive record.

BOXING

ten (10) points and awarding nine (9) or less points – down to seven (7) to the losing boxer, depending on the judgement as to the degree to which the opponent lost every round. Every round must have a declared winner.

Judges must press their scoring pad within fifteen (15) seconds. These scores will be transmitted directly to a computer system managed by the supervisor, and no alterations or additions will be made to these scores after the initial transmission. The announcement of the scores by the announcer and on live TV/Streams will be made immediately at the end of the bout, after the approval of the scores by the supervisor.

In the case where the total scores awarded by each judge (including any deductions) are equal at the end of the bout (a Tiebreak), judges will be requested to nominate which boxer is the winner of the bout in the following cases:

One judge has even scores and the total scores of the other four judges are evenly split, or;two judges have even scores and the other three judges do not score unanimously, or; three or more judges have even scores.

Judges consider the number of quality blows on the target area, domination of the bout by technical and tactical superiority and competitiveness.

In the case of a knockout, the athlete who achieves it must withdraw to the neutral corner, while the referee starts counting up to ten. If the athlete fails to get up, then the opponent is proclaimed winner of the bout.

If a boxer is knocked to the ground and gets up they will receive a mandatory eight second count during which the referee decides if the fighter is fit to continue. If the referee decides it is too dangerous for a boxer to continue, the bout shall be stopped and his opponent declared the winner. The referee will then classify the fight RSC – referee stopped contest.

Boxers who do not comply with the regulations and the instructions of the referee can be subjected to a warning. Three warnings lead to a disqualification.

Fouls may include:• Hitting below the belt• Holding the opponent• Hitting the back of the opponent’s head• Hitting with the use of the head or any other

part of the hand apart from the fist• Hitting the opponent when he is down or

during the break• Insulting behaviour towards the opponent or

referee• Speaking, ducking, faking, simulation.

EquipmentRingThe ring is an elevated square construction measuring 7.8m squared at a height of 1m, which is enclosed by four rows of ropes and covered by a special flooring. The top rope is 1.3m from the floor of the ring. Two corners, one blue and one red, correspond to the ‘position’ taken by each of the contestants, who wear clothing equivalent to their corner.

UniformEach boxer must wear the same coloured clothing and boxing gloves as their allocated corner, which must conform with the regulations of AIBA.

The gloves must be made of leather and weigh between 284g to 340g. Protective bandages are placed on the hands and wrists, followed by the placement of the gloves. This is a procedure which is officially supervised at all international tournaments so as to avoid injuries due to unsuitable glove material or the illegal use of other objects inside them.

Male boxers no longer wear head guards, however women must wear head guards at all times. Boxers must also wear a gum shield and men must wear a cup protector over the groin.

Competition FormatAll Cycling events are conducted according to the rules of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

CYCLING - TRACK

In Gold Coast 2018, Track Cycling will feature 20 medal events including four Para-Sport medal events. It is the first time there will be an equal number of medal events for men and women.

Track events can be split into two main types: sprint events, which generally last for less than two minutes and endurance events which can be up to 40km in length.

The track, referred to as a velodrome, is a wooden oval consisting of two straights and two bends. At the bends, the track slopes at an angle of 43.9 degrees.

Tandem Class B – Blind or Visual Impaired (VI) is the Para-Sport classification included on the Commonwealth Games Track Cycling programme. Athletes will have no light perception in either eye up to visual acuity of 6/60 and/or visual field of less than 20 degrees. Classification is assessed in the best eye with the best correction.

Road cycling is a core sport on the Commonwealth Games programme, whilst Track, Track-Para and Mountain Bike are optional disciplines which may be selected by the host city.

Cycling was first introduced into the sports programme in 1934. It has featured in every Commonwealth Games since, making many people think it is a core sport. Road, Track and Mountain Bike are all included for Gold Coast 2018.

Para-Sport Track Cycling made its Games debut at Glasgow 2014 with four medal events and will feature again in Gold Coast 2018.



Scotland had to wait until 1970 for its first Commonwealth Games Cycling medal when Brian Temple won silver in the 10 mile Scratch Race.

Team Scotland won medals in all four Para-Sport Cycling events at Glasgow 2014, taking two gold and two silver.

Craig MacLean is Scotland’s most successful Commonwealth Games cyclist with three gold and one bronze medal.

CYCLING

Individual Sprint/Para-Sport Tandem SprintThe Sprint race is conducted over three laps of the track. The Tandem Sprint is conducted over five laps. First the riders will complete a 200m qualifying time trial. The riders will then be seeded into heats of two riders, with the winners of each race progressing to the next round of the competition.

From the quarterfinals onwards the winner is determined from the best of three heats. Lots are drawn to determine the start position. The rider drawing the inside starting position must lead the first half lap of the race. It is a tactical race in which the riders may use the whole track to manoeuvre into position, until the final burst of speed, when they must ride a straight line to the finish line.

Team SprintMen’s teams are made up of three riders, who race over three laps of the track. Each team member leads for one complete lap of the track. After the first lap, the first rider peels off and plays no further part in the race. After the second lap the second rider also peels off, leaving the third rider to complete the event and record the team’s time. In the women’s event there are only two riders.

The team is awarded the time recorded as the third rider crosses the finish line. The four fastest teams from the qualifying round will contest the final. The teams with the third and fourth fastest times compete for the bronze medal and the teams with the first and second fastest times compete for the gold and silver medals.

Time TrialThe rider is alone on the track racing against the clock. The rider with the fastest time is declared the winner. The men’s race is 1000m; the women’s race is 500m.

Para-Sport Time Trial B TandemEach Tandem team rides alone on the track racing against the clock. The team with the fastest time is declared the winner. Both events (men’s and women’s) are 1000m.

KeirinThe Keirin (Japanese for “fight”) is a race in which riders sprint for the line after completing a series of laps behind a single motorbike pacer (derny). The pacer gradually builds up to a speed of 50kmph, with riders jockeying for position behind. Riders must not pass the derny until it pulls off the track with three laps to go. From then on it’s a free-for-all to the line. Tactical and often very physical, it’s a great spectator event. Riders go through a series of qualifying rounds to progress to the final which is contested by the top six riders.

Individual PursuitRiders start on opposite sides of the track in a race against each other and the clock. In the first rounds of the competition the four fastest riders from the first round qualify for the final. The riders with third and fourth fastest times compete for the bronze medal, and the riders with the first and second fastest times compete for the gold and silver medals. The men’s race is 4000m; the women’s race is 3000m.

Team PursuitEach team is made up of four riders and the race distance is 4000m. In the qualifying round each heat shall contain 2 teams. The time of the team is taken on the third rider of the team. A major difference to the individual version is that the four riders share the workload, with the lead rider staying at the front for only a lap or so before swinging up the track (right) and re-joining the four man line at the back. A technical event, team-mates often ride only centimetres apart to maximise slipstreaming effects.

The four fastest teams from the qualifying round will contest the final. The teams with third and fourth fastest times compete for the bronze medal and the teams with the first and second fastest times compete for the gold and silver medals. In the finals, the first team to cross the finish line wins. Alternatively the race is over if one team is deemed to have caught the other i.e. when they are within one metre of that team.

Scratch RaceThe race is a mass start event over 15km for

139

CYCLING

men, 10km for women, with the first over the line the winner. Tactical moves include lapping the field. Riders with endurance but poor sprinting abilities will favour this tactic, whilst riders with a powerful sprint will favour saving their efforts to the very end. If one or more riders lap the field the race will continue and the final placings are determined at the crossing of the finish line after the full distance has been completed. Riders lapped more than twice will be eliminated by the race officials.

Points RaceA bunch race (20-30 riders) over 40km (men) and 25km (women). The object of the event is to accumulate points over the course of the race. Sprints for points take place every 10 laps with first place receiving five points, second place three points, third place two points and fourth place one point. Riders who lap the field will be awarded 20 points. Riders who lose a lap will be deducted 20 points. Double points are awarded in the final sprint. It is a very tactical event, with alliances being formed and broken and dramatic attacks being chased down by the field.

Requires speed, stamina, the ability to sprint quickly to grab points and a cool head. The race winner is the rider with the most points.

CYCLING - ROAD

Gold Coast 2018 will host Road Cycling with four medal events – men’s and women’s time trials and road races.

Road RaceA mass start event, this is a race coupling endurance with technique and tactics. The riders in each class start together and the first person to finish wins. Competitors are permitted to consume food and liquids during the race: these are supplied at specific points on the course at the so-called ‘team boxes’. In the event of a mechanical problem there are similar provisions for technical help to the riders, in addition to neutral service and team support vehicles which follow them on the course. Although the Road Race is an individual event, riders work as a team to gain the best result.

This often means that some members of the team will sacrifice themselves in order to assist one person to try and win the race. In Gold Coast 2018 the Road Race will be multiple laps of an 18.7km circuit, the women’s race distance totalling112km and the men’s 168km.

Individual Time TrialThe men’s individual time trial covers 38.5km; the women’s race covers 25.5km. Riders start one-by-one, setting off at 1 minute intervals in a race against the clock, the winner being the competitor with the best time. Riders are not permitted to assist each other or take assistance. In this discipline weather conditions (wind volume and direction, temperature, humidity etc.) play an important part.

CYCLING - MOUNTAIN BIKE

Cross-countryThere are medal events for both men and women in the Mountain Bike Cross-country.

The cross-country event is contested on an undulating circuit of approximately 4.5km which has been designed to produce a specific winning time, not a specific distance. After a mass start, the competitors will complete a specified number of laps of the course which will involve a variety of terrains such as fire trail sections, forest tracks, rocky sections and single track. All terrains involve significant amounts of climbing and descending.

Competitors compete in a finals only phase with the first competitor to cross the finish line declared the winner.

DERNY: The pacing motorcycle used in Keirin races.

PELOTON: The main group of riders.

SNAKEBITE: The most common type of flat tyre in mountain biking, caused by hitting an obstacle so hard the inner tube is pinched against the rim.

GYMNASTICS

Individual All-Around FinalsThe top 18 gymnasts from the Team Competitions who competed on all apparatus qualify for each of the men’s and women’s Individual All-Around Finals, with a maximum of two per country.

Finalists perform on each piece of apparatus again, with only final round scores counting. The combined scores of all pieces of apparatus determine the final ranking.

Apparatus FinalsThe top eight highest ranked athletes on each piece of apparatus from the Qualification/Team competition will qualify for the Individual Apparatus Finals with a maximum of two per country.

Men’s ApparatusFloor Floor exercises are executed on a 12 x 12m sprung floor surrounded by a one metre safety border. The surface lies on a special wooden underlay, which provides both spring and absorption for the athletes’ take-offs and landings. Athletes have 70 seconds to execute a routine composed predominantly of acrobatic elements combined with other gymnastic elements such as strength and balance parts, elements of flexibility, handstands, and choreographic combinations, performed utilizing the entire floor exercise area. A noise sounds after 60 seconds, indicating there is only 10 seconds left to complete the routine.

Pommel Horse The pommel horse is 1.6m long, 1.15m tall and carries two pommels (handles). The distance can be adjusted to between the pommels is 40cm to 45cm. Athletes execute a elements including single leg work, travels, turns, swings to handstand as well as a dismount together in a routine with continuous flow and interchange of movements and grip positions along the width of the horse and on the handles.

RingsThe apparatus consists of two circular rings, made of wood or synthetic material, attached to

cables and suspended on a frame, 2.8m above the floor. Athletes perform a series of swings, strength and hold parts in approximately equal portions in their routine, finishing with an impressive dismount.

Vault After gaining speed from an approach run of 25m (maximum), the gymnasts take off from a spring board, push from the vault table with their hands then perform somersaults with twists attempting to finish with a controlled and steady landing. To qualify and in competing in the apparatus final gymnasts are required to perform two separate vaults from different vault groups: for example different direction, different position or a minimum of a ½ turn difference.

Parallel BarsParallel bars are two 3.5m-long wooden bars that stand on a metal base 2m above the ground. Athletes perform routines combining an interchange of handstands, swinging movements and somersaults both above and below the bars, culminating in a dismount comprising of multiple somersaults with or without multiple twists.

Horizontal BarThis high apparatus is a steel bar (2.8cm in diameter, 2.4m in length) which rests on two metal bases 2.8m above the ground. The routine must be a dynamic presentation with the fluid connection of swinging, turning, and flight elements, alternating between elements performed near to and far from the bar in a variety of hand grips so as to demonstrate the full potential of the apparatus. The routine culminates in an explosive dismount aiming to perform a perfect landing.

Women’s ApparatusVault From a 25m running start, the gymnasts take off from a spring board, push from the vault table with their hands then perform somersaults with twists, attempting to finish with a controlled and steady landing. To qualify for the apparatus final, gymnasts are required to perform two separate vaults from different vault groups.

GYMNASTICS

Uneven Bars Uneven Bars consists of two bars. The high bar is 2.5m above the floor and the low bar 1.7m. Gymnasts swing in both directions and from bar to bar, performing release and turning movements through and into handstand, above and below the bars. They aim to finish the routine with a spectacular controlled dismount.

Beam The Balance Beam is 5m long and 1.25m above the ground and only 10cm wide. Gymnasts have up to 90 seconds to perform a combination of acrobatic skills, jumps, turns and dance movements. Judges look at the artistic performance, composition and choreography as well as the rhythm and tempo in a gymnast’s routine. A noise sounds after 1 minute and 20 seconds indicating they only have 10 seconds left to complete their routine.

FloorFloor exercises are executed on a 12m x 12m sprung floor. The surface lies on a special wooden underlay, which provides both spring and absorption for take-offs and landings. Female gymnasts present their routine to music, combining dance with acrobatic skills, using the entire floor area. Judges look for good interpretation to the music and artistry with personal flair.

Rules The Competition AreaAt international standard events 80cm to 110cm-high podium is used for artistic gymnastics events. The apparatus are placed on this podium and stabilised on the suitable sockets, in specific distances between them and with a safety margin from the end of the podium, in accordance with the Technical Regulations of FIG.

Judging / Scoring A panel of eight judges plus a supervisor will preside over each routine in the Qualification phase and the All-Around Finals while a panel of nine judges plus a supervisor will evaluate routines in the apparatus Finals.

Qualification and Team Finals:4 x Execution, 2 x Difficulty, 2 x Reference judges

All-Around Finals: 4 x Execution, 2 x Difficulty, 2 x Reference judges

Apparatus Finals:5 x Execution, 2 x Difficulty, 2 x Reference judges

The Difficulty panel, made up of two judges, calculates the ‘D’ score, which is based on the content of the routine.

The Execution panel, made up of four or five judges, is responsible for the ‘E’ score, which is determined by the gymnast’s execution of the routine. The ‘E’ score is calculated by dropping the highest and lowest E judges’ score and averaging the two or three remaining scores.

The other two members of the judging panel are Reference judges – part of the Reference judges’ System that has been introduced to establish an automatic correction system in case of any problems with ‘E’ scores.

EquipmentUniformMen wear a sleeveless gymnastics leotard and shorts for floor and vault, and long gymnastics stirrups with a leotard for the remaining four apparatus. Women must always wear a leotard or unitard.

Hand GuardsOn some apparatus, (Horizontal Bars, Uneven Bars or Rings) gymnasts wear special leather hand guards to enhance their grip and protect their skin.

Chalk Athletes use powdered magnesium carbonate (chalk) in order to keep their hands and feet dry to maintain a good grip on the apparatus.

Competition Dates• Thursday 5 April (Day 1) to Saturday 14 April

(Day 10)

Venue• Gold Coast Hockey Centre, Keith Hunt

Park, 125 Musgrave Avenue, Labrador QLD

Competition FormatThe Hockey competitions are run according to the rules of the International Hockey Federation (FIH).

In the Commonwealth Games Hockey competition each squad is allowed to have 18 athletes, with 11 players per team allowed on the pitch at any one time. Played on a synthetic water based pitch, a game is divided into two 35 minute periods, with a ten minute interval in between.

Both the men’s and women’s competition format starts with a pool stage. The ten teams are divided into two pools of five and teams play each other in a round-robin tournament.

Ranking in a pool at the end of the preliminary round will be determined by the total of points earned, based on 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss.

At the end of the pool stage, if any teams finish on equal points, teams are ranked on the following criteria in order:• matches won• goal difference• goals scored• result against one another• if still tied, through a shoot-out competition.

Men’s Pool A Men’s Pool BAustralia IndiaNew Zealand EnglandCanada MalaysiaSouth Africa PakistanScotland Wales

Women’s Pool A Women’s Pool BEngland AustraliaIndia New ZealandSouth Africa ScotlandMalaysia CanadaWales Ghana

On completion of the pool fixtures, the top team in each pool plays the team second in the other pool with the winners contesting the final and the losers contesting the bronze medal. Third, fourth and fifth etc. in each pool play one another to determine their respective final classifications. If scores are tied in the classification matches, a shoot-out is held.

Hockey is a core sport in the Commonwealth Games and has been included in every Games since its debut at Kuala Lumpur 1998. Competitions are held in both men’s and women’s hockey.

TEAM SCOTLAND MEDALS – HOCKEY


Australia’s men have dominated the sport, winning gold at every Games to date. Their women have won gold on all but one occasion – taking a bronze medal in 2002.

HOCKEY

RulesEssential skills for playing hockey are the ability to control, pass, push, stop and hit the ball. Stick work is impressive to watch, as players with good stick skills can maintain control of the ball while sprinting the length of the field, weaving through the sticks and legs of defending players to create space. Athletes can only play the ball with the flat face or the edge of the stick. Athletes are not allowed to use their feet or any other part of the body: only the goalkeepers are allowed to use their stick, hands, feet, legs and body to stop the ball when defending their own circle.

If a player violates a rule they may receive a:• Verbal caution• Green card: temporary suspension of two

minutes• Yellow card: temporary suspension (a

minimum of five minutes)• Red card: permanent suspension.

Player PositionsEvery team consists of ten field players, who are classified as attackers, midfielders, defenders and a goalkeeper who remains in his or her team’s shooting circle.

Field of PlayA hockey pitch, is a rectangular area measuring 91.4m in length by 55m wide. The long sides are the ‘side lines’ and the shorter sides are the ‘back lines’. The ‘goal lines’ are the parts of the ‘back lines’ between the goal-posts. Goal-posts are placed at either end of the field in the middle of the back line. Almost semi-circular lines run from the back line and mark out the area of the shooting circle, the area in which goals are scored. Penalty spots are 15cm in diameter and positioned 6.475m from the outer edge of the goal-line.

Starting and restarting the matchA coin is tossed and the winning team decides which goal to attack in the first half or to start the match with a centre pass.

The two teams line up on their respective sides of the field, with the ball in one player’s possession at the centre of the field. Defenders must be five yards away from the ball and when the whistle blows, the player is permitted to hit the ball in any direction. After a goal, the match is restarted in the same way.

The previous bully method, where two opposite players used their hockey sticks to compete for the ball, is no longer used to start matches. A bully is only used to re-start a match when time or play has been stopped for an injury or for any other reason when no penalty has been awarded.

Free hitA free hit is awarded for offences between the 23m areas or for offences by attackers within the opposing 23m area or unintentional offences by defenders outside their circle, but inside their 23m area. Free hits are taken close to where the offence occurred, with the ball stationary and opponents 5m from the ball.

Penalty CornerThis is one of the most exciting parts of the game. If a defending team breaks a rule within their own circle, like preventing a goal from being scored with one’s body, a penalty corner may be awarded. A penalty corner is executed as follows: an attacker stands with the ball on a designated spot along the back line and pushes it out to a player waiting outside the circle. At the same time, the Goal Keeper and four defenders, wait behind the back line and start running towards the attacker who is about to attempt a goal. The ball must be stopped by an attacking player outside the circle before players can shoot for a goal.

UmpiresTwo umpires control hockey matches. In international matches, umpires appointed to games are from neutral countries. Their role is to ensure fair play and adjudicate on the rules. Each umpire covers roughly half the pitch, though they work together around mid-field. Signals are used to communicate decisions.

HOCKEY

SHOOTING CIRCLE: An arc in front of each goal. Goals can only be scored from within the shooting circle.

HIT: Striking or ‘slapping’ the ball using a swinging movement of the stick towards the ball.

PUSH: Moving the ball along the ground using a pushing movement of the stick. When a push is made, both the ball and the head of the stick are in contact with the ground.

FLICK: Pushing the ball so that it is raised off the ground.

SCOOP: Raising the ball off the ground by placing the head of the stick under the ball and using a lifting movement.

PENALTY STROKE: A penalty shot on goal where an attacking player is awarded one shot against only the goalie after an offence by a defender in the circle which prevents the probable scoring of a goal.

SHOOT-OUT: The method used to decide which team progresses to the next stage of a tournament (or wins the tournament) following a tied game.

SPORT JARGONEquipment

The BallOften made of Teflon, but can be any material, the ball is white and hard, with a smooth surface, though indentations are permitted. It weighs between 156g and 163g and its circumference varies between 224mm and 235mm.

The StickThe stick is smooth and straight with one curved end, which is slightly wider. All its edges are rounded, while the inner side is flat. You can only use the flat part of the stick to hit the ball and the stick must be small enough to pass through a 5.1cm diameter ring. All sticks are FIH checked and officially tagged before each FIH level competition.

UniformField players are permitted to wear gloves for protection as long as they do not increase the natural size of their hands significantly. Field players are also recommended to wear shin, ankle and mouth protectors. Players are permitted to wear a face mask when defending a penalty corner or penalty stroke for the duration of that stroke and when inside the circle defending. Otherwise, face masks and eye protection are only permitted for medical reasons.

The goalkeeper must wear, over any upper body protectors, a shirt of a different colour than the ones worn by his or her team mates and the opposite team’s players. The goalkeeper’s body protectors consist of the secured protective headgear, leg guards, kickers and hand protectors, all of which must have no rough edges or protrusions. The equipment of the goalkeeper must comply with the rules and regulations of the International Hockey Federation, so the gear will not artificially increase the size of the goalkeeper’s body or the area that he or she is capable of protecting.

LAWN BOWLS

Competition DatesThursday 5 April (Day 1) – Friday 13 April (Day 9)

VenueBroadbeach Bowls Club,169 Surf Parade, Broadbeach QLD

Competition FormatCommonwealth Games Lawn Bowls competition is held in accordance with the World Bowls (WB) and International Bowls for the Disabled (IBD) Laws and Regulations.

The GC2018 Lawn Bowls competition consists of a total of 10 medal events including two Para-Sport medal events in B2/B3 Mixed Pairs and B6/B7/B8 Open Triples.

Men’s and Women’s Singles, Pairs, Triples and Fours events (excluding Para-Sport)Each nation can have a maximum of five players nominated and athletes are permitted to enter a maximum of two medal events. The Singles and Fours events will be conducted concurrently, as will the Pairs and Triples. Therefore, an athlete cannot compete in both the Singles and Fours, nor both the Pairs and Triples.

Singles:Each athlete will use four bowls, and the player first to score 21 shots will be deemed the winner.

Pairs:Each athlete will use three bowls with the games being 18 ends (3x3).

Triples:Each athlete will use two bowls with the games being 18 ends.

Fours:Each athlete will use two bowls with the games being 15 ends.

All Lawn Bowls events will follow the same general competition format, beginning with a group stage called sectional play. Upon the completion of sectional play, a certain number of players/teams from each section (group) will advance to the knockout stage.

Lawn Bowls is a core sport in the Commonwealth Games for men and women and has been included in every Games programme with the exception of Kingston, Jamaica in 1966. Para-Bowls is now also a core discipline and featured at the 1994, 2002 and 2014 Games.



Alex Marshall is Scotland’s most successful bowler in Commonwealth Games history with four gold medals. He was declared Athlete of the Games for Glasgow 2014 and was Closing Ceremony flag bearer.

Scotland is the third most successful nation in Commonwealth Games Lawn Bowls, behind England and South Africa.

Bowler Willie Wood represented Scotland at a record eight Games between 1974 and 2010, winning two gold, one silver and one bronze medal. He was 72 years of age at his final Games in Delhi.

DID YOU KNOW?

184

LAWN BOWLS

From quarterfinal games onwards if Pairs, Triples or Fours game scores are equal after the prescribed number of ends, an extra end will be played to determine the winner as specified in Law 28.

During sectional play, matches must be played to the completion of the required number of ends or the time limit.

During knockout stages, once a winner is determined (that is, it is mathematically impossible for the opponent to win or draw the match), the match will finish regardless of the number of ends played.

The winner of each match advances to the next round. The only time a losing player or team will contest another match is when losing semifinalists meet in the Bronze medal match.

Para-Sport eventsFor the Para-Sport events, the mixed pairs must include one male and one female athlete. The combination can be either two B2 bowlers, two B3 bowlers, or one B2 and one B3 bowler. Each athlete will be accompanied by an athlete director as per the CGF regulations.

B2 Bowlers with a visual impairment (VI). They can recognise hand movements and have a visual acuity of 2/60. B3 Bowlers have a visual acuity of more than 2/60 and up to 6/60.

B2/B3 Mixed Pairs: Each athlete will use three bowls with the games being 15 ends.With regards to the B6/B7/B8 Open Triples event, the team must include at least one B6 player.

B6 Bowlers with balance difficulties rated as a loss of 5 points or more. Athletes may be ambulant (walking) or use a wheelchair.

B7 Bowlers with minor difficulties with balance, rated as a loss of less than 5 points. Athletes may be ambulant or use a wheelchair.

B8 Bowlers with no noticeable impairment of function but have a permanent impairment.

They are rated as having lost 10 points on the bench test. Athletes are ambulant.

B6/B7/B8 Open Triples: Each athlete will use two bowls with the games being 15 ends.

Sectional play - The competition will begin with sectional play where the teams will play in groups in which all players/teams in the group play each other. A final ranking order for each group will be calculated and the top four ranked teams will advance to the semifinal.

Knock-out stage - The winner of each semifinal advances to the Gold medal round, and the losing semifinalists meet in the Bronze medal match.

RulesThe aim of Lawn Bowls is to get your bowls as close as possible to a small white ball called the ‘jack’. After a coin toss, the first bowler (the lead) places the mat and rolls the jack to the other end of the green as a target. The jack must travel at least 23m and, when it comes to rest, it is moved across to the centre of the rink. The players then take turns to bowl.

An “end” of bowls comprises the placing of the mat, the delivery of the jack and the delivery of all the bowls of all of the players in one direction on the rink.

When all the bowls have been played, a competitor or team gets one point for each of their bowls that is closer to the jack than the opponent’s closest bowl. Aiming for the opponents’ bowls and knocking them out of the way is an integral part of the game. Aiming to move the jack into a more favourable position is also permitted.

After all the bowls have been delivered, the direction of play is reversed.

Bowls are considered dead if they:• travel less than 14m from the mat• come to rest outside the rink

185

LAWN BOWLS

BIAS: Refers to the shape of the bowl and its effect whereby the bowl will curve in its path to the side of the bowl’s bias.

WEIGHT: the amount of force applied to the bowl when delivered.

DRAW SHOT: the standard shot where players aim to deliver their bow as close as possible to the jack or a designated position.

HEAD: the group of bowls, including the jack that has come to rest within the boundary of the rink.

SPORT JARGON

• go into the ditch without touching the jack (bowls that hit the jack on their initial roll are called touchers; they may remain potential scorers wherever they land) within the confines of the rink.

The number of bowls per player and number of ends played varies across events.

A time limit of two hours and 15 minutes (not including trial ends) applies to all sectional matches for all disciplines. Time limits do not apply to knockout finals matches; but slow play rules still apply.

EquipmentField of playBowling greens are normally square and must be 34-40m long. They are normally divided into six rinks, 5.4m to 6.3m wide, allowing six matches to be played at once. The green is surrounded by a ditch 20-38cm wide and 5-20cm deep, enclosed by a sloping bank.

BowlsAlthough bowls are also known as ‘woods’, they can actually be made from rubber, wood or a combination of the two. They can be of any colour and carry a player’s individual emblem, logo or engraving inside the smallest grooved ring on both sides of each bowl.

Bowls weigh up to 1.59kg and measure 116mm to 134mm in diameter. Bowls have a weight ‘bias’ created through the shape of the bowl and are designed to travel a curved path. A small dimple or symbol indicates the bias direction.

JackWhite or yellow in colour, the jack is ball-shaped and measures 630mm in diameter, weighing between 225g to 285g.

MatThe mat is 600mm long and 360mm wide.

UniformTo avoid damage to the greens, flat heel-less footwear is mandatory in Bowls. Clothing should be comfortable and relaxed.

(Day 11)

Venues• Preliminary and classification matches:

Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, 2684 – 2690 Gold Coast Highway, Broadbeach QLD

• Semifinals and medal matches: Coomera Indoor Sports Centre, Beattie Road, Coomera QLD

Competition FormatNetball follows the rules and regulations of the International Netball Federation (INF) and one medal event will be contested.

The Netball competition at the Commonwealth Games is based on two pools of six teams, with selection based on world rankings.

Pool A Pool BAustralia New ZealandJamaica EnglandSouth Africa MalawiBarbados WalesFiji ScotlandNorthern Ireland Uganda

Each pool plays five preliminary round matches against the other teams in their pool, receiving two points for a win, one point for a draw and zero for a loss. The top two teams in each pool qualify for the semifinals.

As well as the gold/silver final and the bronze medal play-off, there are play-offs to determine each team’s final placing.

Within the preliminary rounds matches may end in a draw, however, in the medal and placing matches, a result must be determined. These matches may go into two periods of extra time to determine a winner, as per INF rules.

RulesEach team must field a squad of a minimum of 10 and maximum of 12 athletes with seven players on court at any one time. There are seven playing positions: Goal Shooter (GS), Goal Attack (GA), Wing Attack (WA), Centre (C), Wing Defence (WD), Goal Defence (GD) and Goal Keeper (GK).

Each position has an allocated playing area on the court. The only players allowed to score

Netball is a Commonwealth Games core sport for women only and one of three team sports introduced in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1998.

New Zealand and Australia have monopolised the gold and silver medals, with the latter winning gold on three occasions. At Glasgow 2014, Scotland fielded a netball team for the first time ever, having climbed steadily up the rankings over the previous four years.

NETBALL

are the Goal Shooter and Goal Attack – they are also the only two players allowed inside the attacking Goal Circle. The Centre can move across all areas of the court, except for the attacking and defending Goal Circles.

Unlimited substitutions and positional changes are allowed at an interval or to replace someone injured or ill. A maximum of five team officials are allowed on the bench.

A netball match lasts 60 minutes consisting of four 15 minute quarters, with an interval of four minutes between the first and second then third and fourth quarters. Half-time lasts 12 minutes. Teams change ends each quarter. For extra-time where a winner is required, two halves of seven minutes are played, with a one minute half-time interval.

Players can catch the ball with one or both hands and must then either pass or shoot for goal within three seconds. They cannot strike the ball with a fist or fall on the ball to gain possession.

FootworkPlayers can receive the ball with one foot grounded or jump to catch the ball and land on one foot. They can then step with the other foot in any direction, known as a pivot. The pivoting foot may be lifted, but the player must throw or shoot before re-grounding either foot. Players cannot drag or slide the landing foot; hop on either foot or jump from both feet and land on both feet, unless the ball has been released before landing. ScoringA goal is scored when the ball is thrown completely through the ring by the Goal Shooter or Goal Attack, from any point within the Goal Circle, including on the lines. If a defending player deflects a shot through the ring, a goal is scored. No goal is scored if the ball passes through the ring after the whistle is blown.

PenaltiesPenalties are awarded for a range of infringements, including contact, obstruction and intimidation. Penalties range from: free pass to a penalty pass, penalty shot, throw in or toss-up. Penalties may be taken by any member of the team allowed in the area.

Penalty shots are awarded for obstruction, contact and when a defending player causes the Goal Post to move so as to interfere with the shot at goal.

OfficialsEach match has two umpires, with a reserve seated beside the official bench. The two umpires have control and give decisions in one half of the court. Two scorers and two timekeepers complete the officiating team.

EquipmentField of PlayA netball court is 30.5m long by 15.25m wide. The longer sides are called side lines and the shorter sides goal lines. The court is divided into three equal parts: a Centre Third and two Goal Thirds. Two Goal Circles - semi-circles with a radius of 4.9m – are in each Goal Third.

GoalpostsGoalposts are 3.05m high and comprise a metal ring/hoop with a 380mm diameter fitted with a net, which is usually white. The goalposts are covered by padded post protectors up to 50mm thick.

BallA netball is between 690mm to 710 mm in circumference and weighs 400g to 450g, made of leather, rubber or similar synthetic material.

The pitch is marked with a series of lines: the half way line; two 10-metre lines denoting 10 metres

either side of the half way line; two 22-metre lines denoting 22-metres from the goal line; two goal lines denoting the try line and two dead ball lines to mark the end of the in-goal area. Each in-goal does not exceed 22m in length and 70m in width. There should be a 5m perimeter around the entire playing surface for athlete safety. The distance between the two goal posts is 5.6m. The crossbar is placed between the two goal posts so that its top edge is 3m from the ground. The minimum height for the goal posts is 3.4m.

Foul PlayFoul play is anything a person does within the playing enclosure that is against the letter and spirit of the Laws of the Game. It includes obstruction, unfair play, repeated infringements, dangerous play and misconduct that is prejudicial to the game. A player who breaks the laws of the game could be penalised by awarding the opposite team a penalty kick or a free kick, thereby losing possession of the ball, being temporarily suspended or sent off. When a player has been cautioned and temporarily suspended in an International match the referee will show the player a yellow card. The period of suspension is two minutes. When a player has been sent off in an International match, the referee will show the player a red card. A player who is sent off does not participate in the remainder of the match and is subject to a disciplinary hearing which will determine any prolonged playing sanction.

Match OfficialsEvery match is under the control of the Match Officials who consist of the Referee and two touch judges or assistant referees plus two in-goal judges.

Points At the pool stage, a match win is worth 3 points; a draw 2 points and a loss is 1 point.Within each match, points are awarded as follows:

Try: 5 pointsWhen the attacking player is the first to ground the ball in the opponents’ in-goal a try is scored.

RUGBY SEVENS

KNOCK-ON: A knock-on occurs when a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forwards

SCRUM: A dead-ball situation where three players from each side lock together and, using their feet, attempt to ‘hook’ the ball back towards their own players while pushing their opponents backwards

LINEOUT: A dead-ball situation after the ball has gone out of bounds. The ball is thrown in with two rows of players perpendicular to the touchline attempting to secure possession

OFFLOAD: When the ball is passed by a player as he is being tackled, often creating extra space for the player receiving the ball

SPORT JARGONPenalty Try: 5 pointsAwarded when a player would probably have scored a try, but for foul play by an opponent. A penalty try is awarded between the goal posts.

Conversion Goal: 2 pointsWhen a player scores a try it gives the player’s team the right to attempt to score a goal by taking a kick at goal. This must be a drop kick and be attempted within 40 seconds of scoring the try. This also applies to a penalty try. In Sevens all kicks at goal (either a penalty or conversion) are always drop goals (no place kicks from a tee).

Penalty Goal: 3 pointsA player scores a penalty goal by kicking a goal from a penalty kick.

Dropped Goal: 3 pointsA player scores a drop goal by kicking a goal from a drop kick in general play. The team awarded a free kick cannot score a dropped goal until the ball next becomes dead, or until an opponent has played or touched it, or has tackled the ball carrier. This restriction also applies to a scrum taken instead of a free kick.

EquipmentBallThe ball must be oval and made of four panels. It must be 280mm to 300mm in length, 740mm to 770mm in circumference (end-to-end) and 580mm to 620mm in circumference (width). Additionally, it must weigh 410g to 460g and should be made of leather or other synthetic materials and is usually mainly white.

UniformThe mandatory kit includes a jersey, shorts and underwear, socks and boots. The uniform must not clash with the opposing team. A player may wear shin guards, mitts (finger-less gloves), shoulder pads or headgear that must all conform to World Rugby specifications. It is advised for players to wear a mouth guard.

SHOOTING

Competition Dates• Sunday 8 April (Day 4) – Saturday 14 April

(Day 10)

Venue• Belmont Shooting Centre, 1485 Old

Cleveland Road, Belmont QLD

Competition FormatAll disciplines will be held in accordance with the rules of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) and under ICFRA Technical Rules for Fullbore Rifle events and match conditions of the Commonwealth Shooting Federation.

Each country may enter up to two athletes per event up to a maximum of 30 athletes in total.

The rules vary according to the discipline, distance and the types of targets, firing position, number of shots and the time within which the shots have to be fired. Special rules are applied to determine ranking in the event of a tie.

There are 19 medal events, and the Olympic format will be followed with individual events only (except for the Queen’s prize pairs – fullbore rifle).

There will be 11 Rifle and Pistol, six Clay Target and two Fullbore Rifle events. The events and competition formats are as follows:

Shooting is an optional sport in the Commonwealth Games programme. It was first introduced in Kingston in 1966 and after a gap in Edinburgh in 1970, it has been included in every Games since.

The four disciplines on the Commonwealth Games programme are: Clay Target; Pistol; Smallbore and Air Rifle; and Fullbore Rifle.

Scotland has a strong tradition of success in shooting and it is Team Scotland’s fourth most successful sport of all time in terms of number of medals won. It also boasts the most successful male and female athlete in terms of number of medals won.

TEAM SCOTLAND MEDALS – SHOOTING


Events were open until they were segregated by gender in 1994 for pistol and most rifle events and in 2002 for trap and skeet events; whilst the full bore rifle competition remains an open event.

Scotland’s most successful shooter is Alister Allan. His total of 10 medals over six Games appearances also makes him Scotland’s most decorated Commonwealth Games athlete of all time.

With two gold, one silver and two bronze medals, Jennifer McIntosh holds the accolades of Scotland’s top female shooter and Scotland’s most decorated female athlete in Games history – titles previously held by her mother, Shirley.

Fifteen of the individual events are also included in the Olympic programme and as such they consist of a qualification round and a final round for highest placed competitors. In a major change to competition format introduced in 2013, the score in the final round is no longer added to the score in the qualification round, and all finalists start from zero.

CLAY TARGETAthletes shoot at fast moving Clay Targets with a double-barrelled shotgun and are awarded a point for every target they hit.

TrapThe trap is named after the device that fires the clay targets into the air. Banks of three traps are set at different heights and angles and sit within a trench in front of each shooter. The heights vary and the shooter does not know which of the three traps will release next. As each target is released, the shooter is allowed two shots.

Shooters move through a series of five adjacent shooting stations. In squads of six, they move around clockwise to the five firing stations. The clay targets are released at speed, covering a distance of 75m with a trajectory height of two to four metres. In the qualification round for men’s trap, competitors shoot in five series of 25 targets each – spread across two days. In women’s trap, competitors shoot in three series of 25 targets, all shot in one day.

Finals are held in both the men’s and women’s Trap events for the top six competitors in the qualification round, with only one shot allowed at each target. Following a normal series of 25 targets, the lowest scoring finalist is eliminated. Further series of five targets are then held, with the lowest placed finalist eliminated after each series, until the gold and silver medals are decided after the final series.

Double TrapDouble Trap is similar to Trap, but two targets are released simultaneously from the left and right traps of the central station, reaching a height of some 3m to 3.5m and each competitor must shoot at both targets.

Shooters move through a series of five adjacent shooting stations. In squads of six, they move around clockwise to the five firing stations. In men’s Double Trap, competitors shoot at 150 clay targets in series of 30 targets, while the women shoot 120 targets, again in series of 30 targets. A final is held for the top six competitors in the men’s event, consisting of a normal series of 30 targets – at which point the lowest scoring finalist is eliminated – and further series of 10 targets, with the lowest placed finalist eliminated after each series, until the gold and silver medals are decided after the final series.

SkeetTwo clay targets are released from separate trap houses at either end of a semi-circular shooting range. The releasing procedure involves single and double targets thrown from two houses: a ‘low house’ and a ‘high house’. Competitors have the right to take one shot at each target.

221

SHOOTING

The shooter holds the shotgun at hip level until the target appears, whereupon he or she raises the shotgun to the shoulder and fires. Shooters move through a series of eight adjacent shooting stations, seven of them arranged in a semi-circle between the two trap houses, with the eighth located directly between the houses. In squads of six, they move around to each of the firing stations in turn.

Similar to Trap, the qualification stage for men’s Skeet is five series of 25 targets, spread across two days, while the women shoot three series of 25 targets in one day. Finals are held in both the men’s and women’s Skeet events for the top six competitors in the qualification round, with only one shot allowed at each target. These consist of a normal of 20 targets shot on the middle three stations, following which the lowest scoring finalist is eliminated. Further series of 10 targets are then held, with the lowest placed finalist eliminated after each series, until the gold and silver medals are decided after the final series.

PISTOLIn the Pistol events, athletes shoot at circular targets with concentric scoring rings, and are awarded points based on how close to their centre of the target their pellet or bullet strikes. The highest score for each shot is 10. Different scoring regimes come into play to split ties and during finals.

10m Air PistolA single-shot air pistol is used to fire at a target 10m away. Unlimited non-scoring ‘sighting’ shots are permitted at the start of each match. Men fire 60 shots within 75 minutes, women fire 40 within 50.

Finals are held for both men and women, and consist of an additional 24 shots for the top eight competitors in the qualification round, with the lowest ranked shooter being eliminated after the first 12 shots, and then every two shots until the final two shots decide the gold and silver medals. Each shot in the final is scored decimally, so the highest possible score for each shot is 10.9 for a perfectly central shot.

25m Rapid Fire PistolThis event is only shot by men. Two rounds of 30 shots (in six series of five shots each) are fired at targets 25m away. The first two series must be completed within a time of eight seconds each, the second two within six seconds, and the last two within four seconds.

Five targets are used, and one shot must be fired at each target within each series. One series of five sighting shots is permitted at the start of each round. A final, consisting of eight series, each of four seconds, is held for the top six competitors in the qualification round, with scoring simplified to a biathlon-style hit or miss for each shot. After the fourth series the lowest ranked athlete is eliminated, and this continues for every subsequent series until the final series decides the gold and silver medallists.

25m PistolThis event is only shot by women. Two rounds of 30 shots are fired at a target 25m away. The first round consists of six series of five precision shots, which must be completed within five minutes each. The second round consists of six series of five rapid-fire shots, each shot must be fired within three seconds. One series of five sighting shots is permitted at the start of each round.

The 25m Pistol Women Final consists of ten 5-shot rapid-fire series with hit or miss scoring and the eliminations of the lowest scoring finalists, beginning after the fourth series and continuing until the tenth series when the gold and silver medals are decided.

50m PistolThis event is only shot by men. Sixty shots are fired at a target 50m away, and must be completed within 90 minutes. An unlimited number of sighting shots are permitted in a fixed time before the match begins.

The final consists of an additional 24 shots for the top eight competitors in the qualification round, with the lowest ranked shooter being eliminated after the first 12 shots, and then every two shots until the final two shots decide

SHOOTING

the gold and silver medals. Each shot in the final is scored decimally, so the highest possible score for each shot is 10.9 for a perfectly central shot.

SMALLBORE AND AIR RIFLEIn the Smallbore and Air Rifle events, athletes shoot at circular targets with concentric scoring rings, and are awarded points based on how close to the centre of the target their pellet or bullet strikes. Different scoring regimes come into play to split ties and during finals.

10m Air RifleShots are fired standing at a target 10m away: 60 shots within 75 minutes for men, 40 shots for women within 50 minutes. Unlimited sighting shots are allowed at the start of each competition. Finals are held for both men and women and consist of an additional 24 shots for the top eight competitors in the qualification round, with the lowest ranked shooter being eliminated after the first 12 shots, and then every two shots until the final two shots decide the gold and silver medals. In a recent change, made after the 2012 Olympic Games, each scoring ring is sub-divided decimally, and the whole qualification match and the final are both scored using these decimal rings. The highest possible score for each shot is therefore 10.9 for a perfectly central 10.

50m Rifle Three PositionsAthletes fire shots – 40 for men, 20 for women – in each of the kneeling, prone and standing positions at a target 50m away, within a time limit of 165 minutes for men and 105 minutes for women. An unlimited number of sighting shots are permitted prior to the start of the match, and before start of the prone and standing positions. Finals are held for both men and women, and consist of an additional 15 shots in each position for the top eight competitors in the qualification round. Three series of five shots in the kneeling and prone positions are fired first, followed by two series of five shots in the standing position, at which point the two lowest ranked finalists are eliminated. A further five single shots are fired in the standing position, with the lowest remaining

athlete eliminated after every shot, with the last shot deciding the gold and silver medallists.

Unlike the 10m Air Rifle and 50m Prone Rifle events, in the qualification rounds shots are still scored using the integer scoring rings, with the decimal scoring system only being applied to the final.

50m Rifle ProneThis event is held for both men and women. Sixty shots are fired from the prone position at a target 50m away, within 50 minutes. An unlimited number of sighting shots are permitted before the match begins. The women’s event is decided after the sixty shots. A final is held for men, and consists of an additional 24 shots for the top eight competitors in the qualification round, with the lowest ranked shooter being eliminated after the first 12 shots, and then every two shots until the final two shots decide the gold and silver medals. In a recent change, made after the 2012 Olympic Games, each scoring ring is sub-divided decimally, and the whole qualification match and the final are both scored using these decimal rings. The highest possible score for each shot is therefore 10.9 for a perfectly central 10.

FULLBORE RIFLEIn the Fullbore Pairs event the individual scores of the team members are added together to determine the team score. The highest score for each shot is 5. Different scoring regimes come into play to split ties and during finals.

The Fullbore Rifle competition consists of three stages, known as Queens I, Queens II and Queens III. Queens I consists of seven scoring shots at each of 300, 500 and 600 yards. Queens II consists of 10 scoring shots at each of these distances. Queens III consists of 15 scoring shots at each of 900 and 1000 yards.

The Pairs competition includes two stages – Queens II and Queens III – while the individual competition consists of all three stages.

The Fullbore event is unique within the Commonwealth Games in that men and women compete against each other in the same event.

Equipment

FirearmsCompetitors fire either with a shotgun, rifle or pistol.

The shotgun will normally be an ‘over and under’, which has two barrels, one above the other. Up to two cartridges may be loaded.

Rifles include air, smallbore and fullbore variants and are all single shot meaning they must be manually reloaded after each shot is fired. The sights consist of a circular foresight ring and a small circular peep-hole at the rear. Telescopic sights are not permitted.

Pistols used for the 10m and 50m events are all single shot and must be reloaded after each shot. Those used for the 25m events take a five-shot magazine and must be reloaded after each series.

AmmunitionThe ammunition used in 10m events, both for pistols and for rifles, is a 4.5mm (0.177”) pellet. For the 25m and 50m pistol & rifle events, 5.6mm (0.22”) rimfire bullets are used. The rifle shooters will test various brands and batches of ammunition to find the one which is the most accurate in their own rifles – significant differences can be found even between consecutive batches of ammunition made in the same factory from the same raw materials.

The Fullbore Rifle event requires the use of 7.62mm ammunition, which is supplied by the competition organisers.

For Clay Target the normal ammunition is a 12-gauge cartridge, weighing not more than 24g.

TargetsElectronic targets are used for all 10m, 25m and 50m rifle and pistol events, with paper targets used for the Fullbore events. The targets are all circular, and for the majority of events are divided into ten scoring rings. The “bulls-eye” or ten on the 10m air rifle target is a dot of 0.5mm

diameter. The target for the fullbore rifle is divided into five scoring rings, and also contains an inner-bull, or ‘V’, ring which is used to break ties.

In the Clay Target events, the target is a clay disc of 11cm in diameter, 25 to 26mm in thickness and 105g in weight.

UniformIn the Rifle events, competitors wear shooting clothing made according to ISSF regulations and of a specified thickness and toughness of material. Jackets, trousers and boots are used to minimise the movement of the rifle in the shooting position, while a thick and padded glove is normally worn on the supporting hand for comfort.

In the Pistol events, competitors are not permitted to wear special shooting clothing, but may wear shooting shoes.

In the Clay Target events, shooters will normally wear a vest with a little padding in the shoulder and deep pockets to hold cartridges. Skeet competitors must have a line on their clothing at hip level so that it is possible to see whether the stock of the gun is above the hip or not as they wait to fire.

Squash

SQUASH

Squash is one of ten core sports in the Commonwealth Games and made its debut in Kuala Lumpur in 1998 and has been included in every Games since.

Squash requires a remarkable combination of decision-making, racket skills, speed, power, agility, flexibility and reflexes, but the main element is outstanding endurance – cardiovascular and muscular.

TEAM SCOTLAND MEDALS – SQUASH


Squash is played by more than 25 million people on nearly 50,000 courts in 185 countries around the world.

The name Squash comes from the ‘squashing’ of the rubber ball against the wall – softer than the hard ball used in its sister game Rackets.

Squash balls are unique in that they need to be ‘warmed up’ by hitting for a few minutues before play begins.

Scotland’s Alan Clyne and Greg Lobban won World Doubles gold in 2016 and followed up with silver in 2017. They will be aiming for Scotland’s first Squash medal for 20 years in Gold Coast.

Singles events will have a 64 draw except where entries dictate. If there are more than 64 entries there may be an initial round before the round of 64. If there is a round of 64 there will be six rounds of competition and if there is a round of 32 there will be five rounds of competition. Doubles Men’s, women’s and mixed events have the same format and rules. The Doubles competition of up to 32 pairs, involves a pool competition with the winners of each pool progressing to the knockout stages. Depending on entry numbers, each pool will be contested by three, four or five teams and similarly depending on entry numbers, the knock-out stage will consist of two or three rounds.

234

SQUASH

RulesField of playThe court is a walled 9.75m x 6.4m rectangle for Singles and a 9.75m x 8.42m rectangle for Doubles. The courts are usually light in colour, and have red ‘out’ and ‘service’ lines and a line near the bottom of the front wall on top of the ‘tin’.

For both Singles events the tin will be set at 17” (43cm), and for all Doubles events it will be set at 13” (33cm).

‘Out’ lines, 2.13m high at the back wall and 4.57m at the front wall, are joined by a side wall line.

The ball must be played so that it does not touch anything above the ‘Out’ lines and must hit the front wall above the tin.

The contestThree referees control the game: a central referee and two side referees. The scores and general calls are made by the central referee, who is also the ‘marker’. When a decision is required, the majority vote of the three referees decides the call.

Scoring• Singles matches are the best of five games. • In Singles, the game is won by the player

who first scores 11 points, PAR (point-a-rally scoring), unless the score is ten-all, in which case the first player to score two clear points is the winner.

• Doubles matches are the best of three games.

• In Doubles matches, the game is won by the first team to score 11 points, PAR (point-a-rally scoring). There will be no setting at 10-all (next point decides the game).

• The final positions in a Pool shall be decided taking into account all of the results of that Pool.

• Points can be won by either the server or receiver.

• First service is decided on the spin of a racket and the server serves until he or she loses a point. The opponent then serves until they lose a point

• The player who wins the preceding game serves first in the next game.

• At the beginning of each game and after each change of service, the server chooses from which service-box to serve. While retaining the serve, the server must serve from alternate boxes.

• In Doubles, one player is nominated as the first server for the match. When a team wins a point, the other player continues to serve until the team loses a point. The opposing team then serves until they lose a point.

EquipmentEyewearAll players aged under 19 years of age and all players in doubles events are required to wear WSF certified protective eyewear properly over the eyes at all times during practice and match play.

RacketA Squash racket has the following parts: grip, head, shaft and stringed area. It has a maximum weight of 255g. Its length and width must not exceed 686mm and 215mm respectively.

ClothingBecause of the vigorous nature of the game, players need to wear comfortable and breathable sports clothing and strong indoor (non-marking) sports shoes.

In any given match, both players/pairs must wear distinctly different coloured clothing. The colour must not change during a match. Where colours are similar, the lower placed individual/pair on the draw sheet must change colour. All players must have two distinctly different sets of clothing colours with them. In Doubles matches, a team must be wearing matching clothing.

235

SQUASH

LET: An undecided rally called by the referee as a result of some interference by the opponent. The rally does not count and the server serves again from the same box.

STROKE: A stroke results in a point being awarded to the appealing player and is called by the referees when, in their opinion, interference has occurred that was either deliberate or has denied the player a clear opportunity to win the rally.

PAR: Point-a-rally scoring means points can be won by either the server or receiver.

NOT UP: The expression used to indicate that the ball has not been struck in accordance with the rules.

DOWN: The ball hits the tin or the ball, before being struck, hits a player’s clothes or anything he wears or carries.

BOAST: Any shot that hits three walls before bouncing.

SPORT JARGONDouble Yellow Dot Squash BallThe double yellow dot ball is the slowest of the balls used in Squash. It measures 40mm plus or minus 0.5mm in diameter and weighs 24g. It will be used for all Squash contests.

TABLE TENNIS

RulesField of PlayThe upper surface of the table, known as the playing surface, is rectangular, 2.74m long and 1.525m wide, at a height 76cm above the floor. The surface can be made of any material and must yield a uniform bounce of about 23cm when a standard ball is dropped from a height of 30cm.

The table is dark coloured and matt, and with a side white line, 2cm along the four sides. A vertical net in the centre of the playing surface is 15.25cm high and runs parallel with the end lines, suspended by a cord attached to upright posts. The bottom of the net should be as close as possible to the playing surface. In Doubles, the court is divided into two equal half-courts by a white centre line, 3mm wide, running parallel with the side lines.

Racket ControlIt is the responsibility of each player to ensure that racket coverings are attached to their racket blade with adhesives that do not contain harmful volatile solvents.

Before a match starts, the match umpire will perform racket testing, except for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) testing, which are selected on a random basis. This testing takes place in the Racket Control Centre (RCC). During this testing, only the player whose racket is being tested and their coach or delegate may attend. From quarter-finals onwards in singles events, and from semi-finals onwards in doubles and team matches, all rackets will be tested. The referee may, at any time, choose any other matches to be tested.

Players are also entitled to have a maximum of two voluntary tests each day of the event. In tests of individual events, two rackets can be presented and in team events, players can only present one racket.

After-match tests take place if a player fails to present their racket for a before-match test or if the racket failed the before-match control test or

if a racket is replaced during the match and has not been tested.

ScoringA point is scored if an opponent fails to make a correct service or return. A point is also won if: • After making a service or a return, the

ball touches anything other than the net assembly before being struck by an opponent

• The ball passes over his court or beyond his end line without touching his court, after being struck by an opponent

• An opponent obstructs the ball• An opponent strikes the ball twice

successively• An opponent strikes the ball with a side of

the racket blade whose surface does not comply with the rules

• An opponent, or anything an opponent wears or carries, moves the playing surface

• An opponent, or anything an opponent wears or carries, touches the net assembly

• An opponent’s free hand touches the playing surface

• A Doubles opponent strikes the ball out of the sequence established by the first server and first receiver; as provided under the expedite system.

A game is won by the player or pair first scoring 11 points, unless both players or pairs score 10 points. The game is then won by the first player or pair to gain a lead of two points.

ServiceService starts with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server’s stationary free hand. They project the ball near vertically upwards without imparting spin, so it rises at least 16cm from the palm of the free hand. The server then strikes the ball so it touches their court then passes around or over the net and touches the receiver’s court. In Doubles, the ball must touch the right half court of server and receiver.

In Singles, the server shall first make a service, the receiver shall then make a return and thereafter server and receiver alternately shall

SHAKEHANDS: Style of grip favoured by European players.

PENHOLD: Style of grip popular in Asia, whereby the racket is held as if holding a pen.

TIME-OUT: During matches a player can call a one-minute break at their own discretion.

CHOP: A defensive shot that carries a huge amount of backspin.

LOOP: An offensive shot that carries a tremendous amount of topspin.

SPORT JARGONeach make a return. In Doubles, the server makes a service; the receiver makes a return; the partner of the server then makes a return; the partner of the receiver makes a return and thereafter each player in turn in that sequence makes a return.

LetA rally is a let:• If in service the ball touches the net• If the service is delivered when the receiving

player or pair is not ready• If failure to make a service or a return is due

to a disturbance outside the player’s control• If play is interrupted by the match officials• If the ball, after touching the receiver’s court,

returns in the direction of the net; comes to rest on the receiver’s court or in Singles leaves the receiver’s court after touching it by either of its sidelines.

EquipmentThe RacketThe racket is the official term, though it is commonly known in Britain as a bat and in the USA as a paddle. The wooden part of the racket is referred to as the blade, which must be flat and rigid. A side of the blade, used for striking the ball, is covered with either ordinary pimpled rubber no thicker than 2mm outwards, or sandwich rubber, no thicker than 4mm outwards. The covering material is matt, bright red on one side and black on the other.

The BallThe ball is spherical, with a diameter of 40mm and weighs 2.7g. It is made of celluloid or similar plastics material and is either white or orange, and matt.

UniformPlayers wear a short-sleeved or sleeveless shirt and shorts or skirt. Tracksuits are not permitted except with the permission of the referee. The uniform, other than the sleeves and collar of a shirt, must be a different colour to the ball in use. In Doubles both players must wear identical uniforms.

There are five medal events consisting of: Individual Women, Individual Men, Para-Triathlon PTWC Women, Para-Triathlon PTWC Men and the Mixed Team Relay.

Individual women’s and men’s eventsIn the Commonwealth Games Triathlon competition, each nation is allowed to enter a maximum of three men and three women for the Individual events, from which it then selects two

men and two women to combine for the Mixed Team Relay.

Both the individual women’s and men’s events will be a combination of a 750m open water swim, 20km cycle and 5km run completed in immediate succession.

The competition is a finals phase only with transition areas positioned between the swim and cycle segments (T1), and the cycle and run segments (T2). These areas will be used by athletes to rack bikes, performance clothing and any other accessories essential for preparing for the next section of the race.

Mixed Team RelayThis innovative event sees athletes complete a super-sprint triathlon. The Mixed Team Relay teams consist of four athletes: two women and two men. Each athlete is required to complete a course of 250m open water swim, 7km cycle and 1.5km run, before tagging their team mate. The Mixed Team Relay race order will be: female – male – female – male.

Para-Triathlon PTWC women’s and men’s eventsIn the Commonwealth Games Para-Triathlon competition, each nation is allowed to enter a maximum of two men and two women.

The Para-Triathlon will be a combination of a 750m open water swim, 20km hand cycle and 5km racing wheelchair completed in immediate succession. For the cycling segment, athletes

must use a recumbent handcycle and for the run segment, a racing wheelchair. The competition is a finals phase only with transition areas positioned between the swim and cycle segments (T1), and the cycle and run segments (T2). Handlers can help athletes transition from one discipline to the next.

In the PTWC class there are two sub-classes (H1 and H2) and the classification will be run with a compensation time (staggered start). Men and women compete in the same event, although medals are awarded to the first competitors to complete the course in the women’s and men’s race.

Triathlon Par-Sport Classification PTWCAthletes who predominantly use a wheelchair for their daily ambulation. Includes athletes with comparable activity limitation and an impairment of, but not limited to: muscle power, limb deficiency, hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis. Common health conditions could include spinal cord lesions, above knee amputee, severe cerebral palsy.

It is divided into two subclasses, H1 which is the most impaired and H2 which is the least impaired.

H1 athletes have an advantage with a staggered start ahead of the H2 athletes. H2 men start 3:35 minutes after H1 men and H2 women start 4:48 minutes after H1 women.

RulesField of playThe swim course starts on a pontoon measuring 60m x 3m. Triathletes line up in order of their start number and await the start signal, which is the blast of a horn. The course is marked by either red or yellow buoys 2m in height to highlight where to turn. Triathletes can use any swim stroke to propel themselves through the water.

The bike course is 6m in width and is closed from traffic. The road surface is hard, smooth and without debris or hazard. The run course is

also on a hard and smooth surface, a minimum of 3m width. Distance markers are positioned 1km from the start and finish.

TransitionsTransitions are the sections in between each discipline, transitioning from the swim to the cycle and from the cycle to the run.In the first transition, known as T1, athletes must deposit their swim gear in the bin placed beside their bike rack. For T1, the bike is racked by the rear wheel in a slot in a single bike rack, with the bike facing towards the exit. The athlete’s name and number is displayed on the top of each bike rack. Athletes must secure their helmets before they un-rack their bike by moving forward into the centre lane and towards the mount line.

In the second transition, known as T2, athletes run from the dismount line in the centre lane with their bike towards the bike racks and must rack the front wheel of their bike in the slot facing the transition entrance. Cycling is not permitted within the transition area. Each athlete’s running shoes are ready outside their bin. After putting on their shoes, athletes run in the outer run lane, with both run lanes joining at the end of transition.

PenaltiesFailure to comply with a competition rule may result in a time penalty, assessed by a technical official. Athletes may be required to serve the penalty in the penalty box, located just before the finish chute.

Athletes are notified of any penalty through the display of their race number on the board at the penalty box. It is the athlete’s responsibility to present themselves to the technical official in the box in order to serve the time penalty during one of the run laps.

Wheel stationsAt least two wheel stations are provided, managed and controlled by technical officials, with bike mechanics.

UniformDuring the swim, competitors must wear an official event swim cap. Dependant on the water temperature triathletes may wear a wetsuit which is a rubber suit that retains body heat in cold water. Wetsuits cannot exceed 5mm thickness anywhere.

The uniform must cover the whole torso in the front, but the back can be uncovered from the waist up. Arms below the shoulders must be uncovered. A one-piece uniform is preferred and if the triathlete chooses to wear a two-piece, they must cover their torso during the entire race.

Triathletes show their race numbers through body markings applied to each arm and leg. Numbers are assigned based firstly upon the ITU Points list then randomly.

BikesAll bikes must have a traditional frame pattern and be no more than 185cm long and 50cm wide. It should measure between 24cm to 30cm from the ground to the centre of the chain wheel axle. Both wheels must be of equal diameter, between 55cm to 70cm, and have at least 16 metal spokes. Only traditional drop handlebars are permitted. Helmets must be securely fastened at all times when in possession of the bike.

Para-Triathletes have regulations for both their hand cycles and racing wheel chairs, but most athletes will have had these specially built to fit.

TRANSITION: The changeovers between the three elements of the race.

MONT LINE: A line at the exit from the transition area T1 on to the bike course, after which athletes must mount their bicycles and proceed. There is also a dismount line at the end of the bike course at the entrance to the transition area T2.

DRAFTING: The act of riding closely behind another cyclist to benefit from the reduced air pressure created in their wake, enabling you to go faster with less effort. Commonwealth Games competition is draft-legal.

PENALTY BOX: An area on the course set aside for athletes who break the rules and have to serve a time penalty.

BONKING: What triathletes call the feeling of hitting the wall and suddenly losing all their strength, usually due to low blood sugar.

WEIGHTLIFTING

Competition FormatThe Weightlifting competition is held under the rules of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF).

16 medal events will be contested at Gold Coast 2018 across eight men’s and eight women’s weight categories. Each nation may enter one athlete per weight category.

Men Women56kg 48kg62kg 53kg69kg 58kg77kg 63kg85kg 69kg94kg 75kg105kg 90kg+105kg +90kg

In Weightlifting, an ascending bar system is used with lifts occurring in order of weight attempted, from lowest to highest, throughout the competition. This may mean that an individual lifter makes several attempts in succession. Lifters are allowed several changes to the weight they have declared.

The execution consists of two different lifts executed in a standard order: first the Snatch and then the Clean and Jerk. Athletes within each weight category have three attempts for each movement and are required to complete valid lifts in both in order to post a score.

Weightlifting is a core sport and has been included in the Commonwealth Games programme every year since 1950.

Para-Sport Powerlifting was introduced into the Commonwealth Games in Manchester 2002 and has featured ever since and is now a core discipline.

Both the Weightlifting and Powerlifting events may be contested by men and women. Events for women were first introduced in 2002.

TEAM SCOTLAND MEDALS – WEIGHTLIFTING


Philip Caira is Scotland’s most successful weightlifter with two gold medals, won in 1958 and 1962.

Between 1990 and 2002 separate medals were awarded for the Snatch, the Clean and Jerk and for combined total. Since 2006 medals have only been awarded for combined total.

Peter Kirkbride won gold for Scotland at the 2004 Youth Games and went onto win Commonwealth Games silver at Delhi 2010.

Michael (Micky) Yule was Scotland’s first ever Powerlifter at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Snatch The competitor lifts the bar overhead in a single motion. In the attempt to lift the bar, the knees may bend, and the legs may split, but no other part of the body may touch the ground. Once the bar is lifted overhead, the competitor must remain motionless, arms and legs extended, with the bar and body in a straight line, until the referees make a decision which automatically registers as a visual and audible signal to replace the barbell to the platform.

If an athlete fails to make a valid lift in the Snatch they will be eliminated from the event.

There is a 10-minute break in the competition before the Clean & Jerk section commences.

Clean and Jerk This is a two-part lift. In the first (the ‘clean’) part, the weight is brought from the ground to shoulder-level in one motion. In the attempt to lift the weight, the knees may bend and the legs may be split. In the second (the ‘jerk’), the competitor bends the knees, at the same time extending the arms upwards, thus lifting the bar overhead. When the movement is complete, the competitor must remain absolutely motionless until the referees’ decision is made.

The athlete’s best performance in both movements is added together to determine the final placement within the competition. If two athletes have an equal total, the athlete with the lower bodyweight will be placed higher.

The sport has become increasingly tactical with ‘order of calling’ rules being exploited by competitors to force fellow competitors into a weight selection they are not comfortable with. However, timing of weight selection is critical as if you wait too long to force another competitor to change his selection, you may forfeit your own ability to make changes.

RulesJudgingThere are three referees; they have equal rights of decision and adjudication on a lift. Each referee must give the ‘down’ signal by pressing the white button on the electronic referee light system for a ‘good lift’ or the red button for ‘no lift’. A referee who sees a mistake or fault during the execution of a lift must immediately press the red button. A majority decision indicates the outcome of the lift.

EquipmentPlatformThis is the square surface on which the competitors execute their movements. Measuring 4m x 4m and 100mm in height, the platform may be made of wood or plastic and may be covered with a non-slippery material. There must be a 1m perimeter surrounding the platform that is required to be flat and free of obstacles, including discs.

BarbellThe barbell consists of:• The Bar – the men’s bar weighs 20kg and

the women’s bar 15kg.• The Discs – must be the following weights

and colours:

25kg Red 2.5kg Red 20kg Blue 2kg Blue 15kg Yellow 1.5kg Yellow 10kg Green 1kg Green 5kg White 0.5kg White

• The Collar – in order to secure the discs to the bar, each bar must be equipped with two collars weighing 2.5kg each.

UniformThe Weightlifting costume must meet the following regulations:• Must be one-piece• Must be collar-less• May be of any colour • Must not cover the elbows or knees

261


Weightlifters can wear a unitard or t-shirt under the costume and shorts may be worn under or over the costume, but a t-shirt and shorts cannot be worn instead of the costume.

Competitors may wear a weight belt, which must be worn over the Weightlifting costume.Fingerless gloves to protect the palm of the hands are allowed, but gloves can only cover the first knuckle of the fingers.Competitors wear Weightlifting shoes/boots to protect their feet and give them stability and a firm stance on the competition platform.

POWERLIFTING

Competition FormatPowerlifting events for Para-Sport athletes are held in accordance with the rules and regulations of World Para-Powerlifting (WPPO).

There are a total of four medal events: Men’s Lightweight (up to and including 72kg); Women’s Lightweight (up to and including 61kg); Men’s Heavyweight (72.01kg and over) and Women’s Heavyweight (61.01kg and over).

Each weight category consists of a single competition phase (final). The bench press is the sport’s single discipline, in which competitors must lower the bar to the chest, hold it motionless on the chest and then press it upwards to arm’s length with locked elbows.

In Powerlifting the ‘round’ system is used and the competition consists of three rounds where all lifters must complete each relevant round in sequential order, first by order of the lifting weight chosen or, if the weight chosen is the same, by the order of the lot draw.

The bar must be loaded progressively for each round on the principle of a rising bar whereby each lifter will take their first attempt in the first round, their second attempt in the second round and their third attempt in the third round.If unsuccessful with an attempt, the lifter must wait until the next round before he/she can attempt the same weight again or make a new attempt at a heavier weight.

Three lifting attempts are permitted within the actual competition with a fourth lift permitted for a World Record attempt, under special circumstances.

The results are calculated using the AH (Haleczko) Formula. The AH Formula equates each competitor’s bodyweight to a coefficient, which in turn is multiplied against their best result to produce a point score i.e. bodyweight and technique playing a major role in determining the overall medallists. Where two or more athletes achieve the same score the lifter with lighter bodyweight will be ranked higher.

Powerlifting classificationPara-Powerlifting is open to male and female athletes with the following eight eligible physical impairments (impaired muscle power, impaired passive range of movement, limb deficiency, leg length difference, short stature, hypertonia, ataxia, and athetosis), with a range of physical disabilities, including (cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, lower limb amputation, poliomyelitis), who meet the current minimal eligibility criteria and can perform safely and appropriately.

All athletes have an impairment in their lower limbs or hips, which would prohibit them to compete in Weightlifting. For example, athletes with a single or double amputation through or above the ankle or stiffness of the knee joint would be eligible to compete. All eligible athletes compete in one sport class, but in different weight categories.

EquipmentBenchA Powerlifting bench is required for the Powerlifting competition which along with the bars and discs must meet WPPO specifications.

262


PlatformThis is the square surface on which the competitors execute their movements. Measuring 4m x 4m and 50mm in height, the platform may be made of wood or plastic and may be covered with a non-slippery material. There must be a 1m perimeter surrounding the platform that is required to be flat and free of obstacles, including discs.

BarbellThe barbell consists of:• The Bar – the bar for both men and women

weighs 20kg.• The Discs – must be the following weights

and colours:

25kg Red 2.5kg Red 20kg Blue 2kg Blue 15kg Yellow 1.5kg Yellow 10kg Green 1kg Green 5kg White 0.5kg White

• The Collar – in order to secure the discs to the bar, each bar must be equipped with two collars weighing 2.5kg each.

UniformPowerlifters must wear a t-shirt under the one-piece lifting suit. They are also allowed to have their legs strapped to the bench for additional stability, with the choice of using either one or two straps.

Competitors may wear a weight belt, which must be worn over the weightlifting costume.

ATTEMPT BOARD: A board which shows the name of the competitor, the weight to be attempted and the number of attempts.

NO LIFT: A lift that is judged to be unsuccessful by at least two of the three referees.

HOOK: The hook grip is used in the pull of the snatch and clean to ensure a secure grip during the aggressive acceleration of the bar. The lifter first wraps the thumb around the bar, then grips the thumb with usually the first and second fingers and pulls it tightly around the bar.

SQUAT: To drop while bending the legs, with the feet to either side.

WRESTLING

Competition DatesThursday 12 April (Day 8) – Saturday 14 April (Day 10)

VenueCarrara Sports and Leisure Centre, Nerang-Broadbeach Road and Alabaster Drive, Carrara QLD

Competition FormatThe Wrestling competition is held in accordance with the rules of United World Wrestling (UWW).Freestyle Wrestling is contested at the Commonwealth Games across six weight categories for both men and women.

Men Women57kg 50kg65kg 53kg74kg 57kg86kg 62kg97kg 68kg125kg 76kg

Each country is permitted to enter up to two athletes per weight category, with a maximum of six women and six men in total.

Wrestling is a direct elimination Freestyle competition for both women and men. The onlydifference in rules for men and women relate to Double Nelsons, which are strictly forbidden in the Women’s event.

If the number of wrestlers in a weight category is not ideal (i.e. 8 or 16 etc.), then qualification matches will take place first to reach this ideal number.

If there are fewer than six wrestlers in a weight category, the Nordic round will take place. This is a Round Robin style format where each wrestler competes against each wrestler.

All wrestlers who lose against one of the finalists will have repechage matches. There are two separate repechage groups: one group of wrestlers who lost against the first finalist, and another group of wrestlers who lost against the second finalist.

Wrestling was one of the original six sports included in the inaugural Games in 1930. It was an optional sport in the Commonwealth Games until recently, when it was upgraded to a core sport.

The Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games saw the inclusion of a women’s Wrestling competition for the first time and this has continued since.

elimination. The winners of the two repechage groups will each receive the bronze medal.

In summary the competition takes place in the following manner: Qualification (if required), Quarter Finals, Semifinals, Repecharge, Finals.

Each category weigh-in takes place the day before the beginning of the category concerned and lasts 30 minutes. Athletes are paired off for each round by the drawing of lots during the weigh-in.

Rules

BoutEach match has two periods of three minutes with a 30-second break in between. The aim is to ‘pin’ the opponent or to win on points. The winner is declared by the addition of the points scored in both periods. In Freestyle, technical superiority of ten points automatically leads to victory. A fall automatically stops the match in any period.

Before the bout begins, each opponent is called and takes his place at the corner of the mat which matches their clothing. The wrestlers shake hands and then start the bout on the referee’s whistle.

For all the competitions, the timing is displayed on the continuous clock from 0 to 6 minutes. Points are added during each period and a bout is won: • By ‘fall’, which occurs when a wrestler is

held by their opponent with two shoulders against the mat for sufficient time for the referee to observe it

• By injury, withdrawal, default or disqualification of the opponent

• By technical superiority, when a competitor goes 10 points ahead of his/ her opponent

• By points, winning by one point or more after addition of the two periods.

If, after two minutes of the first period, no wrestler has scored then the referee must designate the passive wrestler.

When a bout has ended, the wrestlers shake hands and stand on either side of the referee awaiting the decision.

In the case of tie by points, the winner will be declared by successively considering the highest value of holds, the least amount of cautions and the last technical points scored.

ScoringPoints are awarded to a wrestler who successfulyl executes a hold. To encourage risk-taking during bouts, an unsuccessful hold which leaves a wrestler underneath his opponent does not result in the opponent receiving a technical point. Points are awarded either in ‘1s’, ‘2s , ‘4s or 5s’ depending on the success of a hold or as a result of certain actions (e.g. five points for throws of grand amplitude from standing), or an opponent being deemed to be passive. The referee indicates the points awarded with their fingers.

CautionsCautions are noted for fleeing the mat; fleeing a hold; a refusal to start; an illegal hold and for brutality. After each caution, the opponent automatically receives either one or two technical points, depending on the gravity of the infraction.

OfficialsIn all competitions, the refereeing body for each bout consists of: 1 mat chairman, 1 referee and 1 judge. Officials cannot officiate a bout involving a compatriot wrestler. Decisions are made unanimously or by majority, except for a ‘fall’ situation, which must be approved by the mat chairman.
