Third: discussion of the amendments proposed by the Speed Centre to the local championships regulations.
First :
Given the federation’s policy of relying on Qatari athletes from the Baraem and Ashbal categories to supply the national teams with talented players, and given the importance of encouraging and motivating clubs and coaches to take an interest in Qatari players, select the best of them and prepare them optimally for the club athletics championships, and as an amendment to the local championships regulations, the committee recommended the following:
— Baraem and Ashbal categories
Additional points shall be credited to the club’s tally for Qatari players who finish in the top five places in the following events: Baraem events (hurdles events + combined events) and Ashbal events (hurdles events + 1500m steeplechase + pole vault + hammer)
