Alabama Sports Festival Track and Field Meet now open to TN Masters

Because of my inquiry to the Alabama Sports Festival executives, they have changed the rules so as to allow TN Masters athletes to enter the 2011 Alabama State Games Track and Field Meet on June 25 at Spain Park High School in Birmingham.

It will be FAT timed!

Here's the correspondence:

Mr. Yelverton,

We appreciate your interest in the National Congress of State Games movement and the Alabama Sports Festival.

After discussing with our track and field committee, we concluded that since Tennessee does not have a sanctioned Masters Championship Track and Field Meet this year, we will allow Masters and Open (not youth) athletes from Tennessee to compete in the 2011 Alabama Sports Festival.

Who can compete?

Since Tennessee does not currently have an Olympic-style State Games program, and Tennessee does not have a sanctioned Masters Championship Track and Field Meet this year, the Alabama Sports Festival is offering Tennessee athletes in the Masters and Open division the opportunity to participate in Alabama’s Summer Olympic Games. Thus, Tennessee residents may compete in the Masters and Open Track & Field, but not in the Youth Track & Field competition.
A participant must be a resident of the State of Alabama or Tennessee for at least 30 days prior to the day of competition they wish to enter. In addition, out-of-state full-time students who are enrolled in an Alabama or Tennessee college or university are eligible, as are U.S. military personnel and their family members who are stationed in Alabama or Tennessee.
The Alabama Sports Festival reserves the right to restrict individuals and/or teams from competing in the Games for the best interest of the event.

Our online registration has been modified to accept TN Masters and Open track athletes.

We would appreciate you passing the word along to your fellow Masters and Open Track & Field in Tennessee in regard to the opportunity to compete in the 2011 Alabama Sports Festival.

Have a great day,
Marc Riker


Well ... I guess I should enter!
(...still quite sore!)

    I don't comment, but after browsing a great deal of responses on "Alabama Sports Festival Track and Field Meet now open to TN Masters". I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's okay.
    Could it be only me or does it look like a few
    of the responses come across like they are written by brain dead individuals?

    :-P And, if you are writing on other social sites, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your public sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
