Press Release: To all competition organizers, managers, secretaries and licensed officials
Lexington, KY: December 8, 2021
Contact: Leslie Mangan, USEF Executive Project Management Analyst
Dear Competition Managers and Licensed Officials,
We hope your 2022 Competition Year is off to a great start. As a reminder, the USEF COVID-19 Action Plan for Licensed Competitions is still in effect. Competitions must operate in accordance with state and local requirements. In the absence of state or local requirements, USEF recommends compliance with CDC guidelines. In an effort to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19, competition organizers can impose more restrictive requirements if they so choose.
With the emergence of new variants we continue to operate in an environment with a heightened need for personal responsibility, and a continuation of the exemplary effort by our community to reduce the effects of the pandemic and keep our sport operating.
• Competition organizers remain responsible for posting all COVID-19 requirements under which their competition will operate.
• All persons attending USEF competitions are responsible for reviewing and complying with the COVID-19 requirements in effect at each competition. This is vital, as requirements may vary between competitions.
• Individuals may choose to wear a face covering/mask even when not required. Anyone choosing to do so will not be penalized.
Additionally, we wish to remind you that the USEF COVID-19 Rule Modifications which were approved for the 2021 competition year expired on November 30, 2021. New requests for Presidential Modification to USEF Rules will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Katlynn Wilbers by email at kwilbers@usef.org. We thank you for your continued efforts and look forward to a safe and successful competition year.
Best regards,
