Federation age transfer governance

Age transfer is governed at federation level because it affects eligibility, fairness, and long-term progression.

What this step is for

This step defines how the federation sets and explains age transitions between seasons and categories.

How it works

1. Define the age rule reference point.
2. Publish age-group boundaries clearly.
3. Handle edge cases consistently.
4. Support organizers and schools when disputes arise.
5. Keep the federation interpretation stable during the season.

Common blockers

• Rules are published too vaguely.
• Edge cases are solved ad hoc.
• Different admins communicate different answers.

What success looks like

Age-group transitions are predictable, fair, and consistently applied.
