Notes:
2024 revision from WRF - new age cutoff for Veterans is 45 (old was 40), and new age determination is age in calendar year (old was age at time of event). See ARA Rules.
2024 We combined the ARC and State Championships, and introduced eligiblity criteria: "When the ARC and State Champs are combined, the eligibility for State Championships is a requirement for at least one member of the team to be a WA resident."
