In Response To: Master Age Groups (Lynne Nelson)

Hi Lynne,

To alleviate some of the confusion caused by the 5-year Masters age groups in the USAPL and 10-year age groups in the IPF, the NGB in 2007 adopted a revised reference to Masters age groups in all USAPL sanctioned competitions. They are:

Masters 1A = 40-44
Masters 1B = 45-49
Masters 2A = 50-54
Masters 2B = 55-59
Masters 3A = 60-64
etc, etc.

In short, when competing in USAPL you would compete in Masters 2A, when competing the in IPF, Masters 2. Admittedly, at the local/state level we still have some work to do in getting up to speed with adopting this new policy. Many meet directors are still using old 5-year masters age group names. At national level meets, the changes have been adopted.
