Purpose and description
Enable an agent to recognise shot put activity, record the conditions and outcomes of attempts, and determine what preparation, adjudication or comparison is justified.
Shot put is an athletics throwing event in which competitors put a heavy spherical implement from the shoulder with one hand, aiming for the greatest valid distance from a designated throwing circle.
It can be Identify whether an observed activity is a shot put attempt, a related drill or another throwing activity.; Check the athlete, implement and facility conditions against an identified ruleset.; Record an attempt from preparation through landing, exit and adjudication.; Associate validity decisions and measured distances with their supporting observations.; Compare attempts while exposing differences in implement mass, context and measurement status.; Flag an occupied or uncertain landing area and withhold a readiness recommendation..
Distinguishing features
The activity concerns putting a shot for distance, rather than using a ball to strike a target or score in a team game.
The characteristic action delivers the shot with one hand from near the neck or shoulder; a generic overhead ball throw is insufficient to identify a shot put attempt.
A regulated competition attempt relates the delivery to a putting circle and designated landing sector.
The performance outcome distinguishes measured distance from whether the attempt is valid under its applicable rules.
The term identifies the activity or event here; an unattached implement labelled 'shot' belongs to a physical-object model.

Drafted structure
Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 5 bundles · 9 layers · 16 findings · 24 questions.
Shot put identity Establishes the activity sense, its boundaries and the authority governing a particular instance.
An agent must distinguish the discipline from its implement and avoid applying competition rules indiscriminately to drills.
Activity boundary
Identifies what makes an instance shot put and whether it represents a complete attempt.
Putting action and context
Record evidence of a shot put delivery and distinguish complete attempts from isolated exercises.
- What observed action and intended outcome identify this as shot put rather than a generic weighted-ball throw? definition
- Is this a complete attempt, a standing practice put or a drill that omits part of the attempt? boundary
Governing context
Connects the activity to the rules and participation category that determine its interpretation.
Rules and classification
Record the applicable authority and category before evaluating equipment or technique.
- Which governing body, rule edition and local competition provisions apply to this attempt? provenance
- Which age, competition or para-athletics classification affects the permitted implement and delivery conditions? boundary
Putting environment Captures the implement and facility relationships needed to prepare and interpret an attempt.
Shot put depends on a matched implement, delivery area and controlled landing area; distance alone cannot establish a usable performance.
Shot eligibility
Records the implement used and the evidence supporting its suitability.
Implement match
Associate the attempt with an identified shot and its relevant verified properties.
- What shot mass was used, and is that value measured, marked on the implement or reported by a participant? measurement
- What inspection or certification establishes that this shot is eligible for the applicable competition category? provenance
Circle and sector
Describes the delivery and landing areas as conditions of a particular attempt.
Facility readiness
Record the state of the circle, stop board, sector and access controls before delivery.
- What evidence confirms that the circle, stop board and sector markings satisfy the applicable requirements? provenance
- Is the landing area clear, and who controls permission to put and permission to retrieve shots? action
Delivery and completion Tracks the movement sequence and completion conditions that make an attempt interpretable.
The delivery action and the athlete's conduct through completion can determine validity independently of landing distance.
Putting technique
Records how the athlete positions, moves and releases the shot.
Delivery sequence
Describe the technique and observable shot-to-body relationship without treating one technique as universally required.
- Does the attempt use a standing, glide, rotational or otherwise described delivery, and what observation supports that classification? definition
- What can be observed about the shot's position near the neck or shoulder and its one-handed delivery through release? measurement
Attempt completion
Follows the attempt beyond release to landing and the athlete's exit.
Contacts and exit
Preserve the sequence of boundary contacts, landing and exit needed for a validity decision.
- Which contacts with the circle rim, stop board or ground outside the circle were observed, and when did they occur? measurement
- Did the athlete's exit timing and exit location meet the identified rules, and what evidence supports that decision? boundary
Adjudication and performance Connects landing evidence, official decisions and distance records to defensible performance interpretations.
A landing must be located, an attempt adjudicated and its distance measured before the result can support ranking or comparison.
Landing and measurement
Identifies the landing evidence and the procedure used to determine distance.
Landing mark and distance
Record the identified first-impact mark, its sector relationship and the measurement procedure.
- Which mark was identified as the shot's first impact, and how was its position relative to the sector boundaries established? measurement
- Which reference points, instrument and reporting convention produced the recorded distance? measurement
Result interpretation
Separates attempt decisions from series-level results and comparisons.
Validity and comparison
Link each result to its adjudication and retain the conditions needed to compare it with other attempts.
- Who determined the attempt's validity, what reason was recorded, and is a review unresolved? provenance
- Given validity, shot mass, competition category and measurement status, which attempts may be compared or used in the official series result? action
Evidence and external alignment What the world already says about this thing, gathered so the model can be checked against it.
A model that cannot be lined up against existing standards, identifiers and practice cannot be adopted by anyone who already uses them.

- Javelin throw - Javelin uses a spear-shaped implement thrown from a runway rather than a shot put from a circle.
- Stone put - Stone put uses a stone under its own competition traditions and rules rather than the standardized athletics shot.
- Which of these neighbouring kinds and how to tell them apart hold for the sense of shot put this model covers, and on what evidence? provenance
What the second pass must settle
- Does an existing Vercy world model already cover shot put, requiring this registry entry to link to it rather than establish a second model?
- Which authoritative rules and editions should anchor precise requirements for delivery, circle contacts, sector boundaries, exit, measurement and attempt timing?
- Should seated para-athletics shot put be represented as a variant within this model, and which frame, restraint and classification relationships would that require?
- How should modified school activities and training drills be labelled when they use nonstandard implements or delivery areas?
- What evidence is sufficient for automated validity assessment, and which observations require an official decision or must remain unresolved?
