Indemnity & Waiver Forms
The show committee and stewards take care to minimise risks, but attendees are asked to do their part to support our efforts. Everyone entering the main arena must complete and sign an Indemnity Form (Waiver) available from the Announcers’ Box. The form waivers any claim for injury, loss or damages that may be sustained when entering, working or competing at the show. Parents or guardians of entrants under 18 years of age must sign their child/ward’s waiver form to in the least indicate that they agree to their child or ward entering a show event that contains some form of risk. After signing the waiver, entrants will be issued a wristband that gives them access to the main arena. Entrants will be refused entry to the ring if the wristband is not attached to their wrist and is visible to the stewards.
Public Risk
