The Tournament: The priority for each competition is a league system in the early stages and a knockout competition from the quarterfinal stage. However, this is totally dependent on the number of teams finally entered for each competition. In view of this a second consideration by the organiser will be a straight knockout competition. The competition organiser will decide the final competition format, on the Saturday night of The National when the final number of teams entered is known.

This tournament will be run in two age groups and each centre may enter in each group as follows:

Group 1 - Players aged up to and including 12 years on the Friday of The National.Group 2 - Players aged between 13-16 years on the Friday of The National.Group 3 - Players aged between 17 and 34 years on Friday of The National.Group 4 - Players aged over 35 years on the Friday of The National.Group 3 and 4: The draw for the competition will be made 30 minutes before the scheduled start time.

How to play: Walking Football is a slower paced version of the regular football game, although it more so resembles 5-a-side football than the 11-a-side game. With that in mind, and in view that the game is primarily aimed at the over fifty years of age participant however we welcome all ages to come and have a go. Each aspect of the game should further highlight the decreased speed of play, and be reflected in the rules that govern the game, with a view to simplification and unification of ethos and practise.

Walking Football Guidelines:• Please see football rules these rules are the same rules for rules to the walking football however

you must walk within this game. No jogging, sprinting, running on or off the ball by any player at any time.

• Players observed to be running off the ball but not directly influencing play or the outcome of play, or gaining an advantage through their actions may be warned of their actions by the referee during the course of play without the need to stop play. Continuation of this infringement may result in further disciplinary action.

• A player gaining an advantage of position or influence of play by a running action will be in breach of the ‘no running rule’ and will have a free kick awarded against that person and the team that person represents. Persistent further infringements to the ‘no running’ rule by that same person will have further disciplinary measures taken against them

• What constitutes a 'run?' - If in the course of making a stride both feet are off the ground.• One foot must remain on the ground at all times when in motion.• Power walking is an accepted action in Walking Football.• Minimal contact is permitted during the course of Walking Football• Tackling, interception, blocking by standing ground, is an accepted part of the game.• Tackling from behind where contact is made; ankle-rapping from the sides, clumsy, ill-timed, forceful

tackling is not an acceptable part of play and will be deemed as an infringement and dealt with by appropriate measures.

• Game open to teams of all ages



Fun Facts:• The number of clubs has rocketed from 125 two years ago to 800 today• Manchester City has become the first Premier League club to launch a walking football team• It was designed as an initiative to give older people the chance to get active and players are often in

their 50s and 60s, but some regulars are as old as 85.

Fun Facts • Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera, competing for in the tug of wa-r for France in 1900, was

the first black athlete to compete at the Olympics.• A Danish journalist who was covering the games, Edgar Aaybe, was recruited into the

combined Sweden/Denmark tug of war team in 1900 to replace an ill team member, and went on to win a gold medal.

• The biggest controversy came in 1908 when the Liverpool police team competed in "enormous shoes, so heavy, in fact, it was with great effort they could lift their feet from the ground." The rules had stipulated ordinary shoes, and the Americans protested, but to no avail. The U.S. team subsequently withdrew.

How to play:The game is played with six metal Petanque boules (balls). Each player throws three boules. Some sets of boules will be available from the umpire. Boules will be thrown from a 50cm circle once the start team is decided by the toss of a coin.The boule, when thrown, should rest comfortably in the hand with the fingers and thumb as close together as possible and with the palm facing the ground.The first thrower throws the Cochonnet (Jack) between 6m and 10m away.He/She then throws the first boule trying to place it close to the Cochonnet.A player in the other team then tries to throw his boule nearer to the Cochonnet, or knock away the leading boule. The boule nearest the Cochonnet leadsThen it is up to a player in the team not leading to throw until his team gets a leading boule and so on.When a team has no more boules the players of the other team throw theirs and try to place them as close as possible to the Cochonnet.When both teams have no more boules the points are counted. The winning team gets as many points as it has boules nearer the Cochonnet than the best of the losing team.The first team to reach 13 points is the winner of the End. In the first three rounds the winner will go on to the next round (see 3 above.)

Petanque Guidelines:Each Centre and other identified Lines (i.e. Independent, Blue Badge, etc.) can enter a team of two people of any age from 14 years upwards.

Caravan manoeuvring has now been around for decades, since caravans were first built and cars could hold oil in their engines for long enough to pull them! Today it has evolved into a competitive sport, timed over a designated course.

There are two categories in the competition - Standard and Novice.

• Novice: those entering in a National competition for the first time.• Standard: anybody that has already entered and completed the course of the caravan

manoeuvring competitions at any National before.

Class 1: Women NoviceClass 2: Women StandardClass 3: Men NoviceClass 4: Men Standard

As an increasing number of people discover the health benefits of rambling come and take a walk across some of the beautiful sights of the National event and surrounding countryside. A common misunderstanding is that rambling clubs are only for the ultra-fit - those who can keep up a quick pace for miles on end, over rough terrain and whilst carrying a heavy backpack. The truth is, anybody who can walk can join our Scottish ramble - walk for pleasure in the country-side.

Ramble Guidelines:• Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead. • Decent walking footwear is advised as the walk is around 5 miles• Footpaths are followed where possible, however they sometimes take us through woodland

or fields with cattle or horses in them. • On registration all participants must declare any health problems that may affect their

ability to finish this fun run • The event will have a mass start • Participants are responsible for their recognition and understanding of event signage and

out of bounds signs must be ahead to
