ATHLETE ELIGIBILITY
ALL ATHLETES must be Pennsylvania residents or athletes from states that do not host State Games of amateur status as defined by each sport’s national governing body. Residency is defined as having established a Pennsylvania residence at least 30 days prior to participating in any tryout, qualifier, or competition conducted by Keystone State Games, Inc.
PRIOR TO PARTICIPATION a non-refundable entry fee and correctly completed entry form are required of all athletes for each sport entered. Refer to each sport for specific entry guidelines, fees, and deadlines.
For sports with tryouts/trials/qualifiers, athletes may only compete for one region - their region of permanent residence. Athletes temporarily residing in another region at the time of tryouts/trials/qualifiers due to school or employment may compete for their region of temporary residence instead of their region of permanent residence, but not both. Athletes must obtain prior permission from the Competition Committee.
Team sports may use more than one tryout in a region to provide the opportunity for more athletes to compete. Athletes may compete in more than one sport at the finals, with the following exceptions:
A person may not compete in two team sports that have players selected to rosters based on tryout performance, regardless if the competition overlaps or not. The intent is to give more people the opportunity to be part of the finals. Team sports are baseball, field hockey, ice hockey, soccer, and volleyball.
A person may not compete in two sports that are scheduled for competition on the same day.
A person may compete in two sports as long as neither or only one of the sports is a team sport, and the competitions are not scheduled to be held on the same day.
ENTRY INFORMATION
Early entry is strongly encouraged to avoid delays, double registration and duplicate payment of fees at tryouts/qualifiers.
