Most events are divided into age categories, with individuals or teams competing for medals within their age range. Many events have male, female and mixed doubles.
The motto of the B.C.

The games include a variety of skill levels and abilities.
The cost of entering is $80 and includes all registration fees, opening ceremonies, a dance and special events hosted by the City of Kelowna.

Some sports may require playoffs as early as March, so early registration is important.
