ELIGIBILITY
All participants must be 50 years of age as of DECEMBER 31, 2008 for all individual and team events. Participants will compete in the age division based on their age on December 31, 2008. There are 10 age divisions for men and women: 50-54 55-59 60-64 65-69 70-74 75-79 80-84 85-89 90-94 95+. Divisions may be combined if less than four participants register in any one division. Participants will still be competing within their own age division even if groups are combined. In team events (3x3 Basketball, Softball & Volleyball) the age of the youngest player on a team roster will determine the division in which the team competes. In tournament doubles and mixed doubles events, the age of the youngest player in the pair will determine the division in which the pair competes.
