Chapter VII TECHNICAL CONDITIONS

§ 12 Age categories / Game time and additional playing time

8.7.043 Cycle-ball is divided into following age categories:

A. Youth Leagues
- Up to 14 years = U15
- Up to 16 years = U17
B. Junior League
- Up to 18 years = U19
C. Elite Leagues
- Up to22 23 years = U23
- From 19 years on = Elite

The league depends on the year of birth, i.e. throughout the year of a player’s 18th birthday he may play in the Junior league.

The leagues may if necessary, at the discretion of the national federations, be divided further in order to restrict the number of competitors or be combined where there are too few.
