Americans eligible to compete at Eurovets indoor champs in Poland
Wacław Krankowski and Jerzy Krauze are LOC poobahs with the 10th European Masters Athletics Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland, the birthplace of Copernicus. They’re taking their history seriously. The Eurovets aren’t acting like the center of the masters universe. They write: “In order to meet numerous athletes queries from outside of Europe, and after a positive decision of the Councils: World Masters Athletics and the European Masters Athletics, LOC Torun would like to inform that non-European competitors will able to start in EMACI 2015 in Poland. In order to clarify, we would like to point out that competitors from the other World regions will be able to start under the rules ‘out of competition.’ The 10th European Masters Athletics Indoor in Torun will be held in March 23-28, 2015.” (North Carolina indoor nationals are March 20-22.) The Eurofolks point to their website emacitorun2015.com for timetables, accommodations, entry booklet, competition entry form and online registration.
Track is set for Eurovets indoor meet in 2015, week after USATF nationals.

Well, you’d be none the wiser about this from reading the entry booklet at http://evacitorun2015.com/sites/evacitorun2015.com/files/uploads/entrybooklet_GB_internet.pdf?1
FINALLY!
anyone know what the “out of competition” rule means? Doesn’t sound good.

Might mean you aren’t eligible for medals or maybe are just running unattached and not for your country.
Torun is beautiful- was there a couple of years ago.
“out of competition” means you are not counted for the purpose of competition. No medals, no placing
Thanks Milan. AT least your name would show up in the results. I completed an initial registration online. (M 800) I’ll have to look into airfare from west coast sub $800? and time off work. Will be tough.
