A Reminder On Championship Events

With regards to all Australian Championship events, a reminder that winners – podium positions in both the Men’s and Women’s divisions – do not need to be financial AUTRA members. They simply need to win 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd to be recognised as Championship winners by AUTRA, however they must be Australian citizens. International entrants cannot claim a podium finish in a Championship, but they can claim a podium finish at the event itself.
