Entry Categories
HST competitions generally separate the competitors into different categories based on age and gender. The following are the entry categories specified in the IARU rules used for European and World Championships:
- Women aged 16 years and younger (A).
- Men aged 16 years and younger (B).
- Women aged 17 to 21 years old (C).
- Men aged 17 to 21 years old (D).
- Women, regardless of their age (E).
- Men, regardless of their age (F).
- Women aged 40 years and older (G).
- Men aged 40 to 49 years old (H).
- Men aged 50 years and older (I).
Note that there is an additional male category, which is justified by the high number of participants in the corresponding age group. A maximum of 18 competitors from those 9 categories can take part as a national team.
