UKC Class Champions

Athletes will be divided into their relevant event groupings, Sprints, Jumps, Endurance & Throws. Their `Fantastic Four` scores will be calculated plus any bonus points and ranked alongside their fellow athletes within that event group. Male and Female athletes will be ranked together to form one table. The 4 performances must be from the same event, such as 4 Javelin scores, not from across the 4 throws disciplines.

The athletes at the top of the table after the last qualifying event on the 3rd August will be crowned as `UKC Class Champions` and awarded £250. If 2 or more athletes tie on the same points after the last qualifying event the prize will be divided equally amongst them.
