State Games of America fixes age-group policy
Just got this note from Douglas G. Martin, national director of the State Games of America: “In reviewing our policy for age group determination, we were given incorrect dates from our Commissioner but have now changed the dates to correspond with USATF’s rules. The correct age determination dates are now listed on our website on the Track web page:
Age determination dates are as follows:
Youth (18 & Under): July 31
Adult (19-35): July 29
Masters – Male (40+) – July 29
– Female (36+) – July 29
Apparently, the masters meet starts on July 29, 2005. So they are now following USATF rules. Doug also says the dead link to the State Games site is fixed.
So a little heads-up was all that was needed to correct a policy that originally would have determined one’s age group by age on Jan. 1, 2005.
