Purpose

The above policy includes restricting the ability of a USATF member to qualify for or participate in competition based on the above classifications and discriminating in the allocation of resources and/or opportunities to any USATF member or prospective USATF member based on the above classifications, provided that the member is properly qualified under the rules of such competition or opportunity.
