      Rule D. QUALIFICATION FOR "LIMITED" EVENTS

      The NSGA defines a "limited" event as one in which an athlete can qualify in ways other than by participating in a Qualifying State Senior Games. Events that are considered "limited" are 20K and 40K cycling, hammer throw, pole vault, 5K/10K road race, triathlon and the following non-ambulatory sports: bowling and shuffleboard. The qualification rules for these events are as follows.

      1.  If a "limited" event (except triathlon) is offered at the Qualifying State Senior Games in an athlete's home state, the athlete must qualify for that event by participating at a Qualifying State Senior Games and by satisfying the qualification standards for the event.

      2.  If a "limited" event is NOT offered at the Qualifying State Senior Games in an athlete's home state, the athlete may qualify for the respective event by meeting the following criteria:

      a.  For 20K or 40K Cycling Road Race an athlete must submit verification of having completed one cycling road race of the event length or better, between January 1 and December 31, 2026. An athlete qualifying in either of the Cycling Road Races (20K and 40K) is reciprocally qualified in the other.

      b.  For 5K and 10K Road Race an athlete must submit verification of having completed one 5K or 10K event between January 1 and December 31, 2026. An athlete qualifying in either the 5K or 10K Road Race is reciprocally qualified in the other distance.

      c.  For Pole Vault an athlete must submit verification of having met the NSGA minimum performance standard for pole vault at any USA Track & Field sanctioned competition between January 1 and December 31, 2026.

      d.  For Triathlon an athlete must submit verification of having completed one triathlon between January 1 and December 31, 2026. All triathletes have the opportunity to qualify under the "limited" event criteria, regardless of the Qualifying State Senior Games in the athletes home state offering the event.

      e.  For Non-ambulatory Bowling and Non-ambulatory Shuffleboard an athlete must submit verification of having competed in one non-ambulatory competition between January 1 and December 31, 2026.

      March 15, 2027 is the deadline to submit Limited Event documentation to NSGA.

      Submissions must include:  1) Limited Event Verification Form; 2) Copy of official event results or other public document illustrating the results; and 3) COPY OF PHOTO ID with DATE OF BIRTH.
