New format staying for NAPSAC - Barbados Today

The eight-zone format is here to stay.Chairman of the Chefette/Frosteez National Primary Schools Athletics Championship (NAPSAC), Janelle Denny says there will be no going back to the previous five-zone structure following a successful staging of this year’s edition last week at the Usain Bolt Sports Complex.Wesley Hall Warriors captured the boys’ title for the first time with 117 points while West Terrace Tigers roared back to defend their girls’ crown amassing 103 points.“I love the eight-zone format and we are already planning for 2024 as it relates to what we need to do to improve. The eight-zone format has proven itself. I can take the point that people were wondering if it was the best thing, even with our advancements people questioned it because 75 schools made it from zone two to the semi-finals, the most we ever had and it allowed for an even spread,” Denny told Barbados TODAY.“It allowed for all the schools to shine in a different way. It also revealed that from day one you have to perform and you have to execute because in order to get to the next stage, and be in the running for the overall championship, you have to produce. I think we were fortunate to see such great talent coming out from such a long break from the pandemic.
