Greetings public safety and first responder athletes, families, and friends.
On behalf of the World Police and Fire Games Federation Board of Directors,
I invite all the Law Enforcement, Firefighter, and First Responder athletes
from around the world to join us in Birmingham, Alabama, from June 27
through July 6, 2025, for the 21st World Police and Fire Games.
We are certain you will be well received with plenty of “Southern
Hospitality.” The BHAM 2025 Local Organizing Committee has been hard
at work preparing the City of Birmingham, Jefferson County, and the
surrounding areas for your arrival.
The World Police and Fire Games’ mission statement provides the original
purpose behind the creation of the Games: “To unite public safety athletes
and provide them with the ultimate Olympic style athletic experience.
We endeavor to encourage health and wellness among all public safety
personnel and create lifelong memories for the athletes, their families,
and the communities we serve.” I can assure you that all involved in
the preparation for the next edition of the Games has kept this mission
statement in mind.
Our dedicated volunteers including the Board of Directors, Local Host
Organizing Committee, Sport Coordinators, and Officials are proud and
honored to serve you. We wish you all the best in your sports, competitions,
and hope that all your dreams are achieved.
I look forward to seeing you next summer in Birmingham for the 2025

Police & Fire Games sporting event. We invite and
welcome neighbors, colleagues, family, friends
and all to come out and cheer the athletes on!
Procedures For Competitor
Entry
SPORTS ENTRY FEES
Competitors may use Visa or MasterCard to pay
the Sport Entry Fees. Contact the organization if
a credit card cannot be used. All Sport Entry Fees
are payable to the World Police & Fire Games in
U.S. Funds. All checks, bank drafts and money
orders shall be drawn on a U.S. bank only.
EXCEPTION: Canadian checks indicating U.S.
funds need not be drawn on a U.S. bank but must
indicate U.S. funds on the check. No other form of
payment can be accepted (no “money grams” or
similar).
There is a Registration Fee (outlined below) which
all competitors shall pay once no matter how many
events are entered
Reg Opening – March 31, 2025 $135 USD
April 1, 2025 – May 31, 2025 $160 USD
June 1, 2025 – End of Games $175 USD
Each event also has an associated cost, the Sports
Fee. Most events are $30 USD, but some are more
because they cover such things as the green fees
in Golf, or the official’s expenses in the lifting
competitions. Add the sport Fees and Registration
Fee to determine the total Entry Fees to be paid.
BANK/WIRE TRANSFERS
Due to high bank charges, which are the
responsibility of the competitor, sending Sports’
Entry Fees by wire transfer for groups of LESS
THAN 10 PERSONS is discouraged. You may
request the necessary banking information for a
wire transfer by contacting the WPFG Federation
in San Diego. MAKE SURE TO IDENTIFY CLEARLY
FOR WHOM THE FEES ARE INTENDED. The name
and contact information of at least one competitor
MUST accompany the transfer notice.

AGE RULES
Age is determined as of the first day of the Games
(June 27, 2025). A competitor in the 30+, 40+, or
50+ division may elect to compete in a younger
division as long as this is indicated on the original
Sports Entry Form or indicated during an on-
line entry. This alternative is not available to late
entries. In all Individual events in Track & Field
(including Decathlon), Swimming, Cross Country ,
Half Marathon and Golf, competitors will compete
only in the age division of their actual age. Other
sports such as weight sports have restrictions on
how many age divisions a competitor may drop;
review individual sport rules.
In Team events (including Doubles), eligibility to
compete in any age division is determined by the
age of the youngest team member. (Exception: In
Team Golf, participants will compete only in the
age category of the youngest team member.)
When adding an acceptable event at any time after
Bracketing is complete, you must compete only in
the age category of your actual age.
DUPLICATE EVENT ENTRIES
A competitor may enter only one age, skill or
weight division in any one event.
A competitor may enter only one Doubles event
with only one partner in any sport.
EXCEPTION: One same-gender Doubles and one
mixed Doubles event may be entered.
A competitor may be on only 1 team in any sport.
Some exceptions apply; see sports synopsis under
each sport.
Games-Specific Definitions
TEAM EVENT: Any event in which 3 or more
persons compete against a mutual opponent is
considered a Team event. A “Unisex” team may
consist of all men, all women, or any combination
thereof. A “Mixed” or “Co-Ed” team has one or
more members of both genders. See the Sports’
Information section for specific details for each
Team event.
TEAM MEMBERS: Each player on the team shall
complete a Sport Entry Form and indicate the full
FIRST & LAST NAME of the TEAM CAPTAIN in the
appropriate space on the form. If entering on-
line, select the team captain’s name from the drop
down list of captains.
TEAM CAPTAINS: Each Team event requires a
named competitor as Team Captain. Changes to
team make-up are allowed until the Team Captain’s
Meeting or competition begins in that particular
sport. A Final Team Roster shall be presented prior
to the beginning of the competition. This usually
occurs at the Team Captain/Coaches Meeting.
Among the Team Captains other duties:
1) Attend the Captains/Coaches meeting prior
to competition and distribute pertinent
information to the team;
2) Assume responsibility for determining the
team’s schedule and for the team’s punctual
attendance at designated times and venues
of competition;

• Volleyball-Indoor (6-Person Team)
The WPFGF recognizes two categories of Non-
Playing Coaches, Eligible and Non-Eligible. A Non-
Playing Coach may be either gender regardless
of the makeup of the team. Both categories of
Coaches must submit a Sports Entry Form and
sign a Waiver. Both categories of Coaches may
accompany their teams to all venues available to
the teams. Both categories of coaches must pay
the Registration Fee in effect at the time they enter
the Games.
Eligible Coaches have the option of paying the
Registration Fee and will be eligible to receive
a medal should the team medal. Non-Eligible
Coaches will NOT receive a medal should the
team medal. Non-Eligible coaches will register as
Technical Support Personnel. Information for TSP
is below.
All Coaches’, Managers’, or Seconds’ actions on
behalf of a competitor or team will have a binding
effect on that competitor or team and may affect
that competitor’s or team’s play, status or eligibility
in the WPFG.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT PERSONNEL: Additional
personnel, such as equipment managers, team
doctors, seconds in Boxing, Non-Eligible Coaches,
or other non-competitors must sign a Release of
Liability form prior to being allowed into the “area
of competition” to assist a team or individual.
Persons in this category of participation should
enter as Technical Support Personnel (TSP)
online, pay the fees and submit to the Host for
review. Submission of an application does NOT
guarantee accreditation. The Host may charge a
$75.00 USD fee to process and accredit acceptable
Technical Support Personnel. The fee will be
refunded if accreditation is refused.
Competition Information
MANDATORY MEETINGS AND ORIENTATION
In many Team events, a mandatory meeting is held
for Team Captain/Coaches prior to competition.
All other sports will hold an orientation to
advise competitors about rules, guidelines, and
any changes. Some orientation meetings are
mandatory. Sports with mandatory meetings
are noted in this book under the sports’ section.
Competitors will be advised in their Confirmation
Letter of the nature of the orientation meeting for
their events.
SPORT VENUE CHECK-IN
Every competitor must check-in at the sport venue
before competing each time he/she returns to the
facility for a new competition. During check-in, the
competitor will show his/her Host-issued Athlete
Accreditation. Failure to provide these credentials
will prohibit participation until this requirement
is satisfied. Competition will not be rescheduled
or delayed if the competitor does not have their
Athlete Accreditation.
In all team sports that allow a Non-Playing Coach,
a Credentials Official will be present at each venue
and is responsible for verifying that players are
properly identified and accredited. At check-in or
before each game, it is the responsibility of each
team’s coach/captain to ensure that the Credentials
Official is presented with the credentials of all
team members on the roster that are present
and playing in that game. The credentials will be
returned immediately after each game unless
there is cause to investigate the participation of an
ineligible player. Any team not fully complying will
be considered playing with an ineligible player and
therefore forfeits the game.
CHANGES AND ADDITIONS BY COMPETITORS:
On-site entries (at sport venues) are prohibited.
Proper entry procedures must be followed in
all cases. Competitors that have not properly
registered may NOT form teams at the sport venue.
Competitors’ Request for Changes: Competitors
shall NOT add or change event classes or age
divisions which were not offered. Once competition
in an event begins, no substitutions, changes
or additions can be made. In Push-Pull Lifting
and Bench Press, once the Games begin, no age
category changes will be allowed.
Adding Late Team Members: Generally, teams may
REGISTRATION & ACCREDITATION
OFFICIAL GAMES ENTRY BOOK 27
add late entry team members to their Roster, to the
maximum specified, until the Captain/Coaches’
meeting for their sport. If needed, Team Captains
will submit a Revised Team Roster at that meeting,
noting any changes/additions.
No Entry or Changes Once Competition Begins:
In all sports/events, once competition begins
in an event, the Host shall NOT accept a new
entry, substitution, or event addition/change
in that event. A person may NOT enter after the
competition begins merely because he/she is
listed on a Team Roster. In Team events, a person
who is duly entered in that event (submitted entry
& fees) and is listed on the Team Roster but is not
able to actually register and become accredited
until after the competition begins in that event,
will be allowed to play on that team.
HOST CHANGES or CANCELLATION OF EVENTS
Changes consistent with World Police & Fire
Games Federation rules such as times, dates and
locations may be necessary in conducting various
events. The 2025 World Police & Fire Games Host
and WPFG Federation reserve the right to make
such changes.
Any sport or event may be canceled by mutual
agreement between the Host and WPFGF. The
Host shall initiate steps to notify all entrants and
return appropriate fees. If an event is canceled by
the Host, and an alternative event is not available,
entrants will be notified at least two weeks prior
to any competition and the Entry Fees refunded.
(Refer to the Refund Policy).
SUBSTITUTIONS
Requests for substitutions in Team and Individual
events are honored when made in a timely fashion
by the person or entity who paid the original
entrant’s Sports Entry Fees. In Team sports, the
Team Captain may request a substitution. For
Individual sports, the overall coordinator for the
substituted person’s agency may also request a
substitution. [NOTE: This rule does not apply to
events which have established a “Waiting List”;
see “Participant Limits”.]
A completed Sports Entry Form and signed Release
of Liability for the substitute and any required
additional fees must be submitted. The substitute
shall meet the same requirements as the original
entrant. All substitutions must be completed
prior to the start of any competition in that event.
The Team Captain shall submit a Revised Team
Roster, noting all changes to team make-up, at the
Captains/Coaches meeting for that sport.
It is the responsibility of the substitute and/or Team
Captain to request the substitution far enough
in advance of the actual competition to allow the
Host time to meet its responsibilities.
SPORT DIVISIONS
WPFG uses two basic systems to divide the larger
Team events into divisions.
“A” & “B” (& “C”) Divisions: These categories are
normally formed during preliminary competition in
that event and are based strictly on the individual’s
or team’s performance. (Note: There are a few
sports where “A”, “B”, etc. have different criteria,
as in Bowling. See sport rules.)
JOINT PARTICIPATION
(Combined Agency Doubles or Team Play)
Competitors from police and fire agencies
may combine to form Doubles and/or Teams,
regardless of agency size or service WITHIN A
COUNTRY. Retired competitors may combine to
form Doubles or Teams in any manner they wish
with other eligible competitors whether Police or
Fire. This includes across country lines or whether
any other member of the Doubles or Team is
actively employed or retired.
POOLING (Draw for Partner or Team)
The following team sports are specifically
EXCLUDED from Pooling:
• Basketball (5 x 5)
• Ice Hockey
• Rugby
• Soccer
• Softball (except Women’s Open)
• Volleyball – Indoor (6 Person Team)
WELCOME
BIRMINGHAM 2025 WORLD POLICE & FIRE GAMES OFFICIAL GAMES ENTRY BOOK
28
A competitor who has entered a sport in the
Singles/Individual competition, but who does
not have a partner/team for the Doubles or Team
event, may request to be placed in a competitors’
“pool” for draw of a partner/team. To do so,
enter the event, pay the event fees and check the
column on the Sports Entry Form or the check box
if entering on-line, which indicates that you do not
have a partner/team. WPFG will make every effort
to satisfy a “pool” request, however, it cannot be
guaranteed. Therefore, anyone entering a pool
event must be entered into another non-pool
sport/event in the Games.
In Basketball 3x3, Cross Country (Team), Dragon
Boats, Karate (Team), Half Marathon/Road Race
(Team), Triathlon and T.C.A. competitors may
enter the pool for a partner or team as long as they
are entered in another sport in the Games.
A request for a specific partner in the pool will NOT
be honored. Pooling is conducted by the WPFG
Federation only. Once formed by pooling, Doubles
and Teams will not be allowed to alter their makeup
to exclude a pooled member. If a late entry enters
a Doubles or Team event which has already been
completed by a “Pool” entry, that late entry shall
not take the place of the “Pool” entry. The late
entry may enter the “Pool” and be assigned to a
Doubles Team/Team, if possible.
After the Bracketing Committee has approved the
sports’ brackets, no further pooling requests will
be accepted. Competitors who have entered a pool,
but were not teamed during bracketing, may be
substituted on a previously entered, eligible team,
which has lost a member for legitimate reasons
before competition begins. If the previously
entered team elects to accept a substitute from
the pooled entrants’ available, selection shall be
made by “random” drawing.
BRACKETING/SCHEDULING
If only one person/team enters any event, that
person/team will be combined in the next most
reasonable category of the sport.
EXCEPTIONS:
1. Competitor Option in Changing Divisions:
Entrants have the option NOT to be combined
as stated above.
2. Single Entrant: In Individual events where an
opponent is not needed for actual competition,
if only one person enters and cannot be
combined or that person elects not to be
combined, the event will be scheduled. In all
events requiring weigh-ins, where only one
person enters, the event will be scheduled.
Push-Pull Lifting and Bench Press classes
require only one entrant to hold the event.
Top scoring events in shooting sports, which
cannot be combined, may be conducted even
though only one competitor is entered.
Any events scheduled by the Bracketing Committee
will be held and medals awarded regardless of
the number of competitors that show. If only one
competitor actually shows for an event, he/she
may participate in that event for a guaranteed First
Place medal, or the competitor may elect to give
up the guaranteed medal and move to a younger
age (or heavier weight) division to compete.
TEAM AND DOUBLES EVENTS: In sports which
allow “Pooling”, at the time of the Bracketing
Meeting if the minimum number of players to field
a team have not submitted Sports Entry Forms
and paid the fees, the Bracketing Committee may
complete the team by assigning “pool” players.
Potential team members who attempt to enter
after the Entry Deadline may be unable to join the
team.
Please note: There is no guarantee that a team will
be scheduled to compete if the minimum number
of competitors have not entered the Games by the
on-line entry system or by submitting a Sports
Entry Form and paying the Sport Entry Fees by
the entry deadline or prior to the time the sport
reaches capacity.
INDIVIDUAL MEN’S, WOMEN’S & UNISEX
EVENTS: Men and women shall compete against
each other except in sports where separate Men’s
and Women’s events are offered. EXCEPTION:
Women and men may NOT compete against each
other in contact sports.
During the Bracketing Meeting, if an age division
cannot be combined within the same gender
REGISTRATION & ACCREDITATION
OFFICIAL GAMES ENTRY BOOK 29

Transportation:
TRAVELING WITH FIREARMS
The Birmingham 2025 World Police & Fire Games
host, Birmingham, Alabama, welcome you. We
encourage you to enjoy yourself during your visit
and ask that you help foster a safe and enjoyable
environment for everyone. Visitors possessing
firearms must be cognizant of, and abide by the
laws of the United States, the State of Alabama.
The Law Enforcement Safety Act of 2004 (HR 218)
allows qualified current and retired United States
Law Enforcement Officers to carry a concealed
firearm. Active personnel are required to have
a photo identification issued by their agency on
their person while in possession of a firearm.
Retired personnel are also required to carry
photo identification from the agency from which
they retired and must possess a certification
that confirms they have completed firearms
training during the previous twelve months. The
Law Enforcement Safety Act of 2004 specifically
removes the privilege of carrying a firearm when

also be noted that establishments and places of
public assembly have the right to deny entry to
persons in possession of a firearm.

FORMS
Application/Permit for Temporary Importation of
Firearms and Ammunition by Nonimmigrant Aliens
COMPETITOR CONDUCT REQUIREMENTS:
Intimidation: Competitors shall not intimidate or
attempt to influence a Sport Coordinator or Sport
Officials regarding rule changes. Taking a vote of
competitors or otherwise obtaining a consensus
of competitors’ wishes to make rule changes is not
allowed.
Late Competitors & Scheduling: Competition will
adhere to scheduling as published, or referred to,
in the Confirmation Letter. Sports, events, games
and/or matches will not be delayed accommodating
late competitors. Some sports have grace periods
in the rules. The Host shall adhere to those rules.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Unsportsmanlike
conduct will not be condoned during, before
or after competition. Any behavior that brings
discredit upon the WPFG, or Law Enforcement
and Firefighting services in general will not be
tolerated. Any physical or verbal assaults on
officials, competitors, spectators, coordinators
or ex-officios will meet with immediate and the
severest of penalty. Unsportsmanlike conduct of
non-competitor Law Enforcement Officers and
Firefighters or other supporters may reflect on
their competitor associates and the continued
participation of that individual or team.
Alcohol & Drugs: Competitors are prohibited from
consuming alcoholic beverages during competition
and alcoholic beverages are prohibited from the
field or area of competition. Controlled substances
are prohibited from being used unlawfully by any
person associated with the WPFG. No participant
may compete in any WPFG sport/event “under the
influence” of alcohol or a controlled substance. If
such a condition is suspected, the participant shall
be removed from competition and an immediate
inquiry shall be conducted by the Host.
Unlawful Activity: All persons who are associated
with the WPFG shall abide by all Local, State and
National laws that apply to those in attendance at
the WPFG. Unlawful activity during this time will
result in disqualification from competition and/or

unlawful activity may result in exclusion from all
future WPFGF events.
Gambling: No gambling of any kind will be
permitted during the WPFG.
Cheating and Sandbagging: Cheating and
Sandbagging is prohibited. “Sandbagging” is the
term used to define the intentional efforts of a
competitor in a sport divided into skill levels to
gain an advantage by competing in a lower skill
level than he/she belongs. Example: Intentionally
submitting or omitting scores that determine
Handicap in Golf that unjustly raises the Handicap.
PROTESTS AND APPEALS
PROTESTS: All protests must be lodged with the
Sport Coordinator or his/her designee immediately
after the violation. If the protest cannot be resolved
by the coordinator, the competition will be allowed
to proceed under protest. The protest shall then be
submitted in writing to the WPFG Federation within
8 hours of the initial protest. If the presentation of
awards is affected by the possible results of the
protest, the awards shall be withheld pending
the WPFGF decision. All decisions by the WPFG
Federation are final, unless appealed as outlined
below.
APPEALS: When any action is taken against a
competitor in the Games that is of such a nature
that the need for such action is not immediate,
the recipient is entitled to a hearing before the
WPFG Federation prior to action being taken.
Competitors in such a situation will be given
written instructions on how to appeal.

although some airlines or states may require them.
However, pet dogs are subject to inspection at
ports of entry and may be denied entry into the
United States if they have evidence of an infectious
disease that can be transmitted to humans. If a dog
appears to be ill, further examination by a licensed
veterinarian at the owner’s expense might be
required at the port of entry. We strongly suggest
you visit the CDC web site at:

restrictions on the importation of dogs. Collies,
shepherds, and other dogs that are imported from
any part of the world except Canada, Mexico, and
regions of Central America and the West Indies
and that are to be used in the handling of livestock
must be inspected and quarantined at the port
of entry for a sufficient time to determine their
freedom from tapeworm. For more information,

we suggest that you do not use straw, hay, grass,
or other natural bedding. Our Plant Protection and
Quarantine Division do not allow the importation
of these materials as they may harbor various
plant pests.
We also suggest you contact your State, county,
municipal authorities for local restrictions on
importing dogs. Some airlines require health
certificates for dogs traveling with them. You
should contact the airlines prior to your travel
date. If you need more information contact the
Import Animals Program at (301) 734-8364.

The Birmingham 2025 Medical Team welcomes all
competing athletes to the 2025 World Police & Fire
Games. The safety and wellness of our athletes is
our number one priority. To ensure that you have
a safe and enjoyable trip, the Birmingham 2025
Medical Team would like you to understand the
following:
TRAVELER’S INSURANCE
The Birmingham 2025 World Police & Fire Games
Medical Team highly recommends traveler’s
insurance and medical evacuation insurance to all
athletes and their families. Traveler’s and medical
evacuation insurance are a way to help protect
you and your family while traveling abroad. There
are many different insurance companies that offer
these plans. If you cannot find one that covers
your region or country, please contact your local
embassy for recommendations.
MEDICAL CARE
The Birmingham 2025 World Police & Fire Games
Medical Team will provide a basic level of medical
care during competition as well as throughout the
Games. However, if an athlete is transported to
a medical facility via an ambulance the financial
charges will be the responsibility of the athlete.
CONCUSSION POLICY
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury
that interferes with normal function of the brain.
The Birmingham 2025 World Police & Fire Games
will be enforcing a strict concussion policy for all
athletes. If an athlete has a suspected concussion
they will be removed from practice/competition
immediately by a member of the Birmingham 2025
World Police & Fire Games Medical Team or the
Sports Coordinator.
Upon being removed from practice/competition,
the Birmingham 2025 World Police & Fire Games
Medical Team will assess the athlete’s ability
to return to play using the following Evaluation
criteria.
SYMPTOM EVALUATION - PHYSICAL EXAM
If the Birmingham 2025 Medical Team assesses
the athlete and deems them unfit for competition,
due to concussion, the athlete will be immediately
suspended from playing. The 2025 World
Police & Fire Games Medical Team or Sports
Coordinator will suspend any athlete immediately
upon being made aware of an injury resulting
in unconsciousness, no matter how short the
duration of unconsciousness. If medical personnel
are present, they will interpret the information
to determine its validity, otherwise the Sports
Coordinator’s personal observations or other
credible evidence is required.
Any athlete that has experienced any duration
of unconsciousness or has been diagnosed with
a concussion by the 2025 World Police & Fire
Games Medical team shall not be allowed to
participate in any further athletic activity involving
the WPFG until acquiring a written release from an
official World Police & Fire Games Medical Team
physician.
These policies will be strictly enforced and failure
to follow these rules may result in disqualification
from the World Police & Fire Games competition.
MEDICAL FACILITIES
For your convenience, the Birmingham 2025
World Police & Fire Games Medical Team will
be providing a list of local medical facilities in
your athlete registration bag. Copies will also be
available in Athlete’s Village and at every venue at
the medical tent/table.

Federation “Report of Physical Examination” form.
The medical form must be signed by a licensed
physician and be based on a physical examination
performed within 6 months of competition. The

All Wrestling entrants must submit a 2025
World Police & Fire Games “Report of Medical
Examination” form. The medical form must be
signed by a licensed physician and be based on a
physical examination performed within 6 months
of competition. The WPFG Federation “Report

If these services are unavailable to the entrant,
the form will be mailed to the address indicated
on the Sports Entry Form. In addition to this
requirement, in order to prevent the spread of
infectious illnesses, each Wrestling entrant will be
required to pass a skin check immediately prior to
the competition. All skin checks will be performed
by a Birmingham 2025 World Police & Fire Games
certified medical professional.

TICK INFORMATION
Protect yourself from ticks. Ticks live in wooded
areas, high grass, and around homes. Avoid bushy
or wooded areas. Use insect repellants that
contain 20% or more DEET on exposed skin and
permethrin on clothing. After outdoor activity,
bathe within 2 hours, conduct full-body check
with mirror, and inspect children, pets, clothing,
and outdoor gear, such as backpacks. Tumble dry
clothes on high heat setting one hour to kill missed
ticks.
If ticks are found on skin, make sure to properly
remove the tick to avoid potential transmission:
• Use fine tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as
close to the skin’s surface as possible. Pull
upward with steady, even pressure.
• Do not twist or jerk the tick, because it may
cause the mouth to break off and remain in the
skin. If this happens, remove the mouth with
tweezers.
• If you are unable to remove the mouth easily
with tweezers, leave it alone, and let the skin
heal.
• After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the
bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol,
an iodine scrub, or soap and water.
• Do not paint the tick with nail polish or
petroleum jelly, or use heat to make the tick
detach from the skin.

No boxer who has attained the age of forty (40) years shall be approved to Box except by special action of the
Boxing Committee.
The Committee shall deny approval to Box, suspend or revoke prior approval of any amateur Boxer because of a
medical or visual condition, including but not limited to one of the following.
1) Blind in one eye or vision in one eye so poor as to cause any examining physician to recommend that no approval
be granted. This rule is effective regardless of how keen the boxer’s vision may be in the other eye;
2) Suffered cerebral hemorrhage or any other serious head injury;
3) Uncorrected visual acuity of less than 5/30 in either eye, 20/200 in either eye or 20/100 in both eyes;

9) Presence of aphakia or dislocated lens in either eye.
There is no appeal for the suspension or denial of approval because of the conditions described in 1 through 9.
The Committee shall deny, suspend, revoke or place restrictions on the Boxing activities of an applicant if it
determines that such person has any one or more of the following conditions unless he/she presents satisfactory
written evidence (*) from an ophthalmologist that the person can safely engage in Boxing activities:
a. Cataract in either eye and corrected vision is better than 20/40;
b. Ocular pathology of any kind which is self-limiting or treatable and which generally results in a return to normal
ocular function;
c. Any other visual condition which the Committee determines would prevent the applicant or licensee from safely
engaging in Boxing activities.
All suspensions or denials because of conditions a) through c), may be appealed to the Boxing Committee.
THE EXAMINING PHYSICIAN IS REQUESTED TO MAIL A COPY OF ANY REPORT OF AN APPLICANT
WITH AN UNSATISFACTORY CONDITION DIRECTLY TO THE BOXING COMMITTEE.

disqualified. Entrants may compete in the individual
and/or the Team Event.

Firefighter Event is a 3-day competition. The first 2
days will be for lndividual competition. Day 3 is for
