IDSF Age Restictions
The following has come in from the IDSF explaining the Age restrictions
for IDSF comps. Please note this is slightly different from
the age restrictions for EADA Chart rated events. These apply
to IDSF comps (overseas) - also remember you MUST ask
EADA before competing overseas.

Putting two age groups together, such as juvenile
I and II as well as Junior I and II to one joint age group
is optional. Junior I couples are allowed to compete in Junior
II, Junior II couples are allowed to compete in Youth, Youth
couples and Senior couples are allowed to
compete in competitions of the Adult age group if wanted.
It is not allowed that Juvenile II couples compete in Junior
I age group on the reason of the syllabus.
In all age groups one partner of a couple can
be younger, except in the Senior age group.
The table as given above
will make easier the understanding of Rule 11.
This regulation enables couples and coaches
to plan on a long term basis because the classification
of competitors doesn't depend on their birthday but on
the year of their birth. It is usual in many sports!
