Competition Rules
The Mildura Eisteddfod Society reviews and updates the competition rules on an annual basis.
The rules for the 2025 Mildura Eisteddfod can be found in our Competition Guide.
Calisthenics please note:
The ACF Eisteddfod Flexible Rules are being finalised and will be included in the Competition Guide as soon as they are available
.
The ACF Eisteddfod Flexible Rules apply to Eisteddfods that host Calisthenics Competitions attracting both ACF and CaliVic registered participants. The purpose of these rules is to bridge any gaps between ACF and CaliVic regulations to promote transparency and clarity in combined competitions, ensuring no participants are disadvantaged, and maintaining the integrity of ACF rules and banned movements.
The use of the ACF Eisteddfod Flexible Rules is strictly limited to Eisteddfods and/or Calisthenics Competitions that are officially endorsed by the ACF. As of January 2025, the Mildura Eisteddfod is officially endorsed by the ACF.
