Masters:
Pairs: two-person paired events may be conducted in the same age groups as individual however
this is based on the age of the youngest team member. i.e. a team member can age down but not
up. One member of the pair MUST be in the specific age range for the event.
Competitors are only permitted to enter one race per event. E.g. line throw — a thrower and catcher
cannot enter one event and then swap around (catcher becomes thrower etc.) and enter the same
event in the age group.
Teams:
Total-Age 4-personTeam Events 120+ 140+ 170+ 200+
Ages to be included (total) 120-139 140—169 170-199 200+
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-yearold,
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.
