About the Schools' Track & Field Cup.
Track & Field Cup Rounds

- The highest scoring teams in the first-round competition progress to one of 8 Regional A Finals, and all other qualifiers progress to Regional B Finals.
- The leading team from each Regional A Final then progresses to the Cup Final, together with the 5 highest scoring teams from across the Country.

Section 195 of the Equalities Act 2010, makes it lawful to restrict participation of transgender participants in competitions where physical strength, stamina or physique are major factors in determining success or failure, if this is necessary to uphold fair competition, but not otherwise.
This is effectively saying that if the physical strength, stamina or physique of the average pupil of one sex would put him or her at a significant advantage compared to the average pupil of the other sex as a competitor in a sport, game or other competitive activity, event organisers can legally restrict participation in the activity to pupils of one sex. Sports which come under this heading are referred to in the Act as a ‘Gendered Activity’. Athletics is a Gendered activity.
For this reason, it is necessary to have in place a fair and considered policy to allow participation for all in Schools’ events and ensure fair competition and the safety of all those participating.
In Formal ESAA competitions, the girls’ category is for those who were recorded female at birth. This includes ESAA Track and Field Championships, ESAA Combined Events & Race-walking, ESAA Cross-Country, and ESAA Cup Competitions
