 (S) Championship Competitors: May compete in the next age category. They are not allowed to compete in (A) Pre-championship categories.
 (A) Pre-championship Competitors:  May compete in the next age category, but must remain in (A) Pre-championship categories. This applies to first-time participants in their category.
