(See Table below for age categories for 2015) WHY? WHY? The new process With regular input from the clubs, members, and a need to make the process more “user friendly” and be beneficial to all, the WPTA committee decided to investigate a system that makes: • • Registration easier and driven by the athlete Entry process more efficient and less time consuming • • • Speedy release of results at events and on WPTA website Offers additional benefits via a NDF card with savings at various service providers (still being negotiated) Club and individual league and ranking for the season Temporary licence fees 2014/2015 per event R30.00 for Sprint distance events R100.00 for Olympic distance and longer events EG IRONMAN, 70.3 WPTA CONTACT DETAILS: Website for info, clubs and calendar: www. wptriathlon.org.za Office: 021-712 7417 or 083 658 7803 or email [email protected].
