Eligibility for IWF Events

Dear State Members,

Please distribute this information to your coaches and athletes.

Eligibility for IWF Events

In accordance with Article 5.5.16 of the IWF Anti-Doping Rules, the whereabouts information of all participating athletes must be submitted at a minimum of three (3) months prior to any IWF event. Athletes who have not submitted their whereabouts information in ADAMS by the specified deadline date will be declared ineligible for that event by the IWF.

All athletes who wish to maintain their eligibility for the following IWF events must submit their whereabouts information BEFORE the deadline date specified below. Please note that eligibility does not guarantee selection by the AWF to compete in these events, however the AWF cannot enter an athlete who is not compliant with the IWF Anti-Doping Rules.
