How is combined age worked out in Masters team events?

Where a combined age is stated, it is the age of each individual as at 30 September before the season (the season runs 1 November to 30 September) in which the competition is held, added together. If a competitor turns 40 during the competition season, 39 is the age used to reach the combined age total.

In two person events the team age is instead set by the younger competitor.

Competition organisers may run all or only some of the individual and team age categories depending on competitor numbers, and advise the age groupings in the entry circular.
