Competition administrators can set up grade eligibility requirements against sports to ensure that each grade meets the required criteria when teams or individuals are being entered.
Grade eligibility refers to the criteria that determine whether a participant qualifies for a particular grade. A warning will display if a participant is entered into a grade that they are not eligible to compete in. For participants entering into individual events, participants will only be able to view those events that they are eligible to enter.
