2025 Golden Age Games Guidelines

in the area designated by the Lead Official. If, after asking a coach/spectator not to coach an athlete during the game of play and he or she continues to do so, the event’s Lead Official will ask the coach/spectator/non -competing athlete to leave the competition area. All coaches must have the required credentials or permission to access the designated area field of play if their athlete needs assistance. COMPETITION BIBS All athletes must always wear their assigned bibs, during their sporting event competition. Athletes who forget their bibs must provide a substitute bib to compete. At times, when appropriate/feasible, replacement bibs will be available at the check-in table at the event. Bibs must be worn correctly with last name and/or bib number to the front of chest (unless otherwise specified within a sporting event). Select sports will not require athletes to wear the assigned competition bib as it may impede the athlete’s ability to perform in competition. Alternate identification may be provided. MODIFICATIONS OF RULES AND ADAPTING EVENTS Any modifications to the rules, based on an athlete's disability, may be requested and are subject to the discretion of the event’s Lead Official . Athletes are encouraged to visit the NGB for complete rules. DOUBLES All doubles participants should have a partner prior to registering for a doubles event. Doubles will compete in the age division of the younger partner as of December 31, 2025. You cannot compete in an age division younger than the youngest partner. It is the athletes’ responsibility to identify a partner. We encourage you, if possible, to identify a partner prior to registration. Athletes who do not have a partner will select “no partner” within registration. Those without partners will receive further instructions on how to acquire a partner as an option. Athletes may compete with only one partner per event. Please note: There is not a guarantee that you will have or find a partner if you have selected “no” partner during registration.
