F.III. Date Limit for Age in Junior Tournaments

Specification of age in Junior Tournaments Approved by the 1973 General Assembly. Amended by the 1986 and 1994 General Assemblies.
1.	For the purpose of complying with the age-limit of a junior competition, the age of a participant shall be defined by his age on 1st January of the year in which the competition is held.
2.	(GA '94) For example, the specific regulations of a competition for players youth-x years of age shall state this in the following form of words: "The participant must have been born one or after 1st January 19nn." This means the participant will not have reached his xth birthday on this date.
3.	The year specifying the age limit is calculated by subtracting x from the year in which the competition is held. Example: In a competition for youth-20 held in 1986, nn = 86-20 = 66 "The participant must have been born on or after 1st January 1966." Example: In a competition for under-14, held in 1986, nn = 86-14 = 72 "The participant must have been born on or after 1st January 1972."
