TRADITIONAL DATE DEFINITION:

Any IMAA event that has been held annually on the same date or weekend by the same chapter for three (3) consecutive years shall be considered a traditional event and shall be allowed first choice of that usual date and take precedence over any other IMAA event, provided that the sanction application is submitted from four (4) months to one (1) year before the desired date. Such traditional dates may be reassigned if no event sanction request is received within such time period. The IMAA Sanction Coordinator along with the director of the district in question is authorized to change, either permanently or temporarily, the date of any event that has traditional status, to help alleviate the problem of internal conflicts. Once a chapter skips one (1) year or changes the date, then that chapter must give up that traditional date and begin to re-establish another traditional date unless the date change was requested by the Sanction Coordinator.
