EXPONENT CHART
Certification is the process by which an athlete's division is identified according to exponent totals. The exponents shall be date of birth, weight, height and playing experience.
Date of Birth: A birth certificate from the county of birth will determine the athlete's date of birth. If this birth certificate is not applicable, any federal, military or state certificate will be acceptable.
Weight: Weight will be determined by using a calibrated scale measured in pounds.
Height: Height will be determined by using a stationary Y axis measured in inches.
Experience: All experience shall be based on the honor system. In cases of discrepancies, past chapter enrollments shall be referenced.
Exponents: The numerical value assigned to an exponent range. The exponents ranges will be based on the Table 1 below. A player's exponent number will be the Date of Birth factor PLUS the Weight factor PLUS the Height factor PLUS the Experience factor. The TOTAL of which will generate the placement of each player.
