Selection criteria for the 2009 Úrval squad
FÍF has decided to set up an Úrval squad of athletes, who will receive support either for competing abroad or for a training camp. This is being done to encourage our leading athletes to set themselves even higher goals.
It has been decided to support those who meet the set standards with DKK 5,000 in 2009. The standards are, firstly, 700 points on the IAAF scoring tables and, secondly, an average of the results that won bronze medals at the three previous Island Games. This gives the following qualification standards:

In addition the athlete must:
– be a member of a club under FÍF and be resident in the Faroe Islands
– be born in 1991 or earlier
– train in athletics with purpose
– be visible in the competitions held in the Faroe Islands.
It is up to the clubs to make the selection manager aware of athletes who should be considered. The athlete decides, in consultation with the selection manager, what the support is to be used for – either competing abroad or a training camp. After the trip, the athlete must report to the selection manager on how the trip went.
The support lapses if it has not been used within 12 months of the standard being met. Exceptions can be made in consultation with the selection manager. The support can be withdrawn if an athlete displays improper conduct. Such a matter must go before a FÍF board meeting before a decision is taken.
