- Competition identity, edition continuity and governing authority
- Shot put, discus, hammer and javelin programme across senior and U23 men's and women's categories
- Federation entries, eligibility evidence and confirmed participation
- Throwing groups, attempts, measurements and session readiness
- Individual results, team scoring and subsequent official corrections

Why it exists Filled
Enable an AI agent to recognise the European Throwing Cup, assess an edition's readiness and results, and identify valid participation and classification actions.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Verify that European Athletics identifies the competition as its European Throwing Cup; a similar title alone is insufficient.
- Check for the four throwing disciplines across senior and U23 men's and women's categories. [Competition regulations](https://www.european-athletics.com/competition-regulations/1000-European_Throwing_Cup_Regulations.pdf)
- Check that participation is through eligible European Athletics member federations, including individual entries where a federation does not enter a team. [Competition regulations](https://www.european-athletics.com/competition-regulations/1000-European_Throwing_Cup_Regulations.pdf)
- Distinguish individual event placings from team classifications based on performance points across the four disciplines. [Competition regulations](https://www.european-athletics.com/competition-regulations/1000-European_Throwing_Cup_Regulations.pdf)
- Treat a dated host-city edition as an occurrence of the registered competition, and a throwing group as a subdivision of an edition's event.
