WORLD MASTER GAMES - TORINO ITALY 2-11 August 2013
http://www.torino2013wmg.org/
GAMES FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS:
•
A multi-national and multi-sport event for mature sportsmen and women.
•
Open to all competitors-past champions, people who have never competed at championship level, or just sportsmen and
women in general.
•
The only criterium for participation is the minimum age requirement of an athlete as determined by the individual sports code.
Most sports are arranged in age categories. As a guideline, the minimum age is 30 years. However this depends on each
sport’s international rulings and a decision by the host city organising committee and the IMGA Board of Governors.
•
There are no national teams, groups or official national representatives.
•
All participants represent themselves only and bear all expenses on an individual basis.
•
Participants from several different countries may unite to form multi-national teams.
•
All participants shall compete in the outfit and the clothes normally used in their particular sport, and shall not necessarily
appear in official national team clothing.
•
Participation does not require any qualification competitions or selection criteria.
•
Athletes shall abide by the completion rules of the international sports federations.
