* Please note that when registering competitors for events, their age classification will be determined based on their year of birth, rather than their age at the time of the competition. This approach helps us maintain consistency in organizing age groups and provides a clear guideline for all participants.
To calculate the appropriate age group for your child, simply subtract their birth year from the current year at the time of registration. For example, if the registration year is 2025 and your child was born in 2016, they would be placed in the 9-10 age group (2025 - 2016 = 9).
