regionally governed competitions

Regionally governed competitions are organized events managed by local or regional authorities or sports organizations, rather than national or international bodies. These competitions operate within specific geographic areas, adhering to rules set by regional governing entities. They serve as platforms for talent development, fostering community engagement and providing opportunities for athletes to compete at various levels. These regional bodies ensure consistency, fairness, and compliance with broader sporting standards while allowing for adaptations suited to local contexts. Overall, they bridge grassroots participation with larger, national or international competitions.
