A warm welcome to the masters-boxing eGroup!

Please note that this is a moderated eGroup. That means that the moderator may or may not approve messages depending on how they conform to the group's guidelines.

The purpose of this group is to discuss Master's Boxing. Master's Boxing is amateur, Olympic-style, competitive boxing for men and women, aged 35 and over. Now that USA Boxing has legislated more support for boxing at this level, the purpose of this group will be to promote it. You are welcome to participate if you are interested as an athlete, coach, official, or sports medicine expert

The following guidelines will apply.

1. Flames, personal attacks and abusive messages will never be allowed. Anyone posting them to the group will be permanently banned from the group.

2. Announcements of competitions will be for USA Boxing sanctioned shows only.

3. No defamatory material or posting of copyrighted news articles are permitted in this eGroup.

4. Replies or messages sent to the group which are clearly not intended for the group, but instead for individuals in the group will not be approved. Please send your messages directly to that person. If you need help finding that person's email address, please contact me off the list at mel@amateurboxing.com.

5. When replying to a message in the group, please try to quote some of the message so we'll know what you're talking about. One or two word answers will not be approved, because they just leave everyone scratching their head and wondering what it is you were answering

It is my hope that this will provide a focused discussion in this group. If you have any questions on this policy or about the group in general, please send a message to me, off list, at mel@amateurboxing.com.
