4-person team events are conducted as total-age events with competitors whose ages total 120-139
years, 140-169 years, 170-199 years, and 200 years or more.
The total of the four competitors’ ages determines the team’s age group.
For example, a team comprised of a 30-year-old, a 40-year-old, a 50-year-old, and a 60-year-old (=
180 years) would compete in the 170+ age group. but a team composed of a 30-year-old, a 30-year
old, a 49-year-old, and a 60-year-old (= 169 years) would compete in the 140+ age group.
For ILS and ILSE records the Open team can only be made up for the same sex so the Open must be
all Male. Any team entering for the International Record must let the organiser know so the name of
each athlete can be recorded on the Event Programme.
Please note: You can pay for/enter more than one event/category at once, just keep adding to your event basket, then checkout.
