Athletic Events in Alphabetical Order

Athletes will compete by gender in the following age groups: 17 and under, 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60 and over. In certain events, there will be special heats for athletes under 12 years of age. For seeded events or sports, there will be a separate heat or bracket for each age group if eight or more individuals compete. If there are fewer than eight individuals or in other cases, age groups may be combined in the interests of competition and meet management.

All events have a maximum number of competitors. Entries will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. When the maximum number is reached, no additional entries will be allowed in that event.

Athletes will be allowed to enter four events, excluding the 5K road race, all team events that depend on overall team size (3 on 3 basketball, volleyball, team bowling and team golf), and the swimming and track relay events.

Athletes may not enter events that take place at the same time (except field events contested cafeteria style). Failure of an athlete to appear at any event when called may result in the athlete being scratched or eliminated from that competition. There will be no appeal of any scratches for failure to appear. The number of medals awarded in an age group event depends on the number of entries in the age group. Medals are awarded in the following manner: 1-3 competitors - gold; 4 competitors - gold and silver; 5 or more competitors - gold, silver and bronze.
