Foreign athletes are welcome to compete, but will only earn duplicate medals. All competitors must be medically approved by their physician in order to compete. In certain events, there will be special heats for athletes under 12 years of age. For seeded events or sports, there will be a separate heat or bracket for each age group if eight or more individuals compete. If there are less than eight individuals or in other cases, age groups may be combined in the interests of competition and meet management.
All events have a maximum number of competitors.
Entries will be processed on a first come, first served basis. When the maximum number is reached, no additional entries will be allowed in that event. Following the policies of the World Transplant Games Federation, the number of medals awarded in an age group event depends on the number of entries in the age group.
