464.3 Eligibility.
The ESG and competition in the games is a privilege, not a right. The agency is the sole entity responsible for the ESG and for implementing the ESG. Accordingly, the agency retains the discretion to: charge a fee to applicants for tryouts, participation or other activities associated with ESG, cancel divisions, cancel individual classes within an event, cancel any event in whole or in part or cancel the ESG for any legitimate reason to be determined by the agency.
(a) General eligibility.
An applicant is ineligible to participate in the sport that he or she formerly participated in or is presently participating in as a professional. To be eligible to compete in the summer ESG, an applicant must not violate the code of conduct and must:
(1) tryout and compete only in the regional trials for the region where the applicant resides as of April 30th in the year the summer games are held. Exceptions:
(i) all sports. A student who attends boarding school or college in one region and participates in an initial regional trial held while the boarding school or college is still in regular session may compete in the regional trials and in the finals for that school’s region or college’s region even if the student is a resident of another region of the State;
(2) try out and compete for only one region and only one division (scholastic, open or masters);
(3) attend and actively participate in the regional trials;
(4) compete in only one sport at the finals. Although an applicant may try out and qualify for the finals in different sports, the applicant must choose one sport before July 1st of the games year by notifying the involved ESG regional coaches for all the sports the applicant tried out for and the ESG regional director. If an applicant fails to choose one sport or fails to notify the applicable ESG regional coaches and the regional director by the deadline, he or she may be removed from all sport rosters and may not participate or compete in the summer games that year;
(5) attend the finals if he or she qualifies. An applicant who qualifies to represent a region but does not compete in the finals must provide a reasonable excuse to the ESG regional coach and the regional director before Tuesday of the week the finals are held. If an applicant fails to notify by the deadline and fails to provide a reasonable excuse that is acceptable to the agency, the applicant shall be removed from all sport rosters and shall not participate or compete in the summer games that year and the following year;
(6) pay for any health or medical expenses incurred and should carry health insurance;
(7) meet the eligibility or membership requirements of the sport or the sport’s National Governing Body (NGB). For example, an applicant participating in any of the following sports must be a member of that sport’s NGB:
(i) boxing - United States of America Boxing (USA Boxing);
(ii) cycling - United States Cycling Federation (USCF);
(iii) judo - United States of America Judo (USA Judo), United States Judo;
(8) if requested, provide the residency and identification documents requested by the agency and comply with the requirements of this section before Friday of the week prior to the beginning of the ESG.
