Subject: Why did Robin go back on the age limit? Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:01:56 04/06/25 Sun Author Host/IP: 217-134-68-38.clients.gthost.com/38.68.134.217 Unfortunately, I was excited about the new age range but it was technically retracted. How my birthday falls (May), I only had this year to compete in most states. But 2 for NH & VT. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date what is the limit now? No age limit was crazy (NT) No name (syn-076-093-073-016.res.spectrum.com/76.93.73.16) 13:09:03 04/07/25 Mon Not sure what this means, there hasn't been a change in the age limit recently and there has ALWAYS been an age limit (NT) -- No name, 13:48:59 04/07/25 Mon (NoHost/128.163.239.177) Don't confuse USA with Miss America. No age limit was Miss Usa and yeah that is crazy! (NT) -- Need a local Director to tell us what is the age range for Miss America, 15:28:04 04/07/25 Mon (ec2-107-21-132-149.compute-1.amazonaws.com/107.21.132.149) It’s to 28 by the state pageant (NT) -- No name, 16:08:58 04/07/25 Mon (104-179-20-249.lightspeed.lsvlky.sbcglobal.net/104.179.20.249) It’s no older than 27 at state (NT) -- No name, 18:04:49 04/07/25 Mon (61-94-134-23.clients.gthost.com/23.134.94.61) Which is stupid so someone can age out in one state but be the same age and compete in another!?! It should be you can not be ___ for the Miss America pageant, put a date on it. (NT) -- No name, 21:46:01 04/07/25 Mon (c-71-238-147-25.hsd1.ar.comcast.net/71.238.147.25) The rules are said below 28 on or after January 1 in the event year (e.g., the 2025 year where Miss contestants were born in 1997). (NT) -- No name, 10:28:19 04/09/25 Wed (tlc.httpint.globe.com.ph/112.198.102.192) Imagine that - more stupid, meaningless changes in the MIDDLE of the year instead of fixing what really needs fixed. Pretty soon it will be a new font and no using the color pink on programs or some stupid shit. (NT) No name (23.29.80.195.bbc.net/23.29.80.195) 18:25:22 04/08/25 Tue there was no age change in the middle of the year. And as for the age change, this was a discussion with the state EDs, and they favored making sure Miss were capped at 27 at the state competition. (NT) -- No name, 20:55:03 04/08/25 Tue (NoHost/50.235.19.26) I wish Teens would go back to 13. (NT) -- No name, 21:06:29 04/08/25 Tue (104-179-20-249.lightspeed.lsvlky.sbcglobal.net/104.179.20.249) EDs did not want to have 13 year olds. Again, it was a part of that same discussion (NT) -- No name, 21:19:53 04/08/25 Tue (NoHost/104.28.32.191) Why? We are losing them to other systems. (NT) -- No name, 09:47:22 04/09/25 Wed (NoHost/128.163.239.177) Maturity? The fact that you can't really judge a 13 year old against a 18 year old? (NT) -- No name, 10:12:27 04/09/25 Wed (NoHost/146.75.232.138) The first year of teen in 2005, the 1st RU was 13 and a few year later, 2 winners were 15 (Caitlin Brunell and Jeanette Morelan). Most 13 and 14 year olds entered for the experience and the scholarship money (when it was actually paid!). The max age at that time was 17 and entering your senior year of high school. It worked just fine. IMO 18 is too old for teen, many are already in college. But, then again, an 18 year old competing against a 24/25 year old college grad student seems a little unfair. There will always be age imbalance. It would be good to pick the parameters and stick with it. (NT) -- No name, 16:44:41 04/09/25 Wed (NoHost/50.86.219.105) the 12 year olds feel embarrassed to be "little sisters" and there is nothing for 13 year olds... (NT) -- maybe have a preteen category, 21:18:47 04/09/25 Wed (69-9-235-254-dynamic.midco.net/69.9.235.254)
