ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURE

General rules

Competition will be held under IAAF regulations as modified for Masters by WMA via their Competition Rules and any

other special rules specified for this competition.

General Information

Athletes may enter online or by using a paper entry form. Online is the preferred method of entry. See below for details

about each method. All entries must include full payment to be considered valid. Athletes who cannot pay online must

instead send a paper entry form and payment to their WMA National Masters Member (“Member”), which will then register

them and pay on their behalf.

The entry deadline is 18 May 2020.

No entries will be accepted after the entry deadline.

All entries are subject to validation by each athlete’s respective Member. Members will confirm the athlete’s date of birth,

citizenship and/or residential qualifications and other relevant requirements. After an athlete’s registration has been

validated, its status will display as “accepted” on the list of entries online (www.wmatoronto2020.com). Validation is a

manual process that each Member completes, so there will be some time (days or weeks) between when you submit your

registration and when it is validated. Athletes who have questions about the status of their entry should contact their

Member. For athletes who reside in a country where there is no WMA National Masters Member or where the Member

fails to fulfil its obligations, their entries will be subject to the approval of the WMA Council.

Online Entry Procedure

1. Go to www.wmatoronto2020.com and complete the online entry form prior to the entry deadline

2. Submit payment by credit card (Visa or Mastercard) at the end of the entry process

3. Print the confirmation screen for your records

4. If you have not previously competed in a WMA championship, you must send a copy of your birth certificate to your

Member

5. Your Member will then validate your registration

Paper Entry Procedure

1. Contact your WMA National Masters Member and request a paper entry form.

2. Confirm the latest date required by your Member for submission of your paper entry. NB: Your Member MUST input

your entry and payment into the on-line system by the closing date of 18 May 2020 for it to be valid.

3. Complete the entry form and make a copy for your records.

4. Mail the completed entry form and all entry fees to your Member prior to the

entry deadline (do not send paper entry forms directly to the LOC). Paper entries sent to your Member for processing

MUST include all entry fees.

5. If you have not previously competed in a WMA Championships, you must send a copy of your birth certificate to your

Member. Your Member will submit your registration, pay on your behalf and validate your registration.

18

WMA National Masters

Member Requirements

WMA requires that each Member validate all relevant entries electronically via the online entry system. The Local

Organizing Committee (“LOC”) will accept only those entries that have been validated by Members. Each Member must

also input any paper entries it receives from its athletes into the online entry system. Payment is required at the time the

entries are submitted. If for some reason a Member is unable to pay online, it must request an exemption from the LOC. If

the exemption is granted, the Member will be provided with details about how to pay offline.

The Member will still be required to input paper entries into the online entry system and to validate its entries

electronically. All entries must be submitted online and paid before May 18, 2020. Any entries for which the LOC has not

received payment by this deadline will be cancelled, and those athletes will be ineligible to compete. No exceptions will be

allowed. In addition, all entries must be validated before 25 May 2020. Any entries that have not been validated by this

deadline may be rejected, and those athletes will be ineligible to compete.

Members will receive communications regarding the entry process prior to the start of registration. Members that do not

receive these communications should contact the WMA Secretary.
