How the 2012 Pan Pacific Masters Games Helps Celebrate Sports the World Over
The world had the chance to watch the greatest competitors in their field compete for gold, silver and bronze medals at the London Olympics this year. But when it comes to sports competitions, the Olympics are known for only allowing the ‘cream of the crop’ to compete against each other.
With so many hoops to jump through in addition to difficult qualifying standards for each sport, getting into the Olympics is probably more difficult than the general public could ever imagine.
This leaves out a great many people the world over who enjoy, play, and may be very good at a variety of sports. Just because you aren’t the absolute best at something, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to compete in the sport(s) you love.
Not Just the Best, but the REST!
That’s why the 8th Pan Pacific Masters Games brings you thirty-eight different sports competitions, with absolutely no qualifying time to join the fun.
Scheduled from 3 to 11 November this year in the well-known Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Games will not only have sports, but nightly entertainment, catered hospitality, and a place for the competitors to enjoy the social camaraderie that goes along with the theme of friendly competition.
Hosted every other November, the Pan Pacific Masters Games present a chance for the everyday person to play their favorite sport and join a competition that is as fun as it is challenging.
Forget the Red Tape
There are 12,000 anticipated participants for the Pan Pacific Masters Games from countries all over the world. The intent is to give everyone the chance to compete at a unique, multi-national level.
Instead of rigid qualifying times, the only requirement for entrance into the Masters Games is a simple age requirement for your sport of choice (which is usually thirty years of age).
Run with the Idea
Unfortunately, there are two fees associated with entrance into the Masters Games. If you’re interested in eliminating fees and getting around age group rules for a little sports player of your own, consider setting up your own sports event!
Save money by printing your own event tickets. You need only charge enough to break even, which should be significantly less than the fees associated with the Games.
While you may not be able to invite players from around the world, you can celebrate sports with your local community and carry on the important theme of friendly competition.
