***There is a new rule concerning participation: Athletes may now qualify at ANY local game site (these can be found on the website mentioned above) with the stipulation an Athlete MUST also qualify in one event at the game site he/she resides in.  This ruling is new; it keeps the existing sites from dying out, so even though the venue is not available at the athlete’s site, the athlete still must participate in something at the home site.
