Process for Changing USATF Club Affiliation
USATF Bylaw / Regulation Interpretation Advisory (Consult USATF Governance Handbook for Regulation 4) To transfer representation from one club /organization to another, an athlete must not have competed for the first club in sanctioned competition for the previous ninety (90) days regardless of residency. There is a 90 day “waiting” period for transferring from one USATF member club to another USATF member club (See Regulation 4-C-2). The 90 days is measured from the date the athlete last competed in a USATF sanctioned competition. An athlete is not eligible to represent a club in a USATF sanctioned competition if he/she has represented another club during the previous 90 days. Representation can only occur in a USATF sanctioned competition. (See USATF Regulation 4-C-2). Thus, competition in an event not sanctioned by USATF does not constitute representation. 3. What factors may determine the intent of an athlete to represent a club? The following may be used to determine the athlete’s intention to represent a club: a) club name appears on a submitted entry form or seed card,A USATF membership application that indicates a club on it may be used to show intent if the date of application is proximate to the date of the competition in question. |
