# Automatically excluding athletes from a ranking based on age

In some organisations, only athletes within a certain age range should appear in the rankings. For example, a Junior ranking, or a Masters ranking.

| Note: Our age filter setting allows you to only include athletes in a ranking who are of a certain age. Once the athlete reaches the age, they will automatically appear in the ranking - this means its better for an ongoing rolling ranking. If you'd like to instead always exclude athletes from a ranking due to their age at the time of competing (e.g. they were U18 in 2022 so they would not be in the 2022 open rankings), please contact community@liveheats.com
