for, and for those which I may yet enter in the 2020 New Zealand Masters Games
(NZMG).
2. Injury Procedures
In the event that I sustain an injury or illness
whilst participating in NZMG, I authorise the appointed sports
injury personnel to perform and administer such emergency medical attention as
they think is necessary. I understand that as a participant, I have no
additional sports injury insurance or coverage provided by organisers.
3. Accidents
I understand that NZMG is in no way responsible
for compensation for any injury received, or for any personal expenditure made
as the result of any accident during your participation in any event or
activity.

I agree I must abide by the rules and
regulations as set down by the sports body organising the event in which I have
entered (The Sport). I agree that failure to comply with the designated rules
may result in my disqualification from NZMG, and that I am responsible for any
consequences for failure to observe the rules and regulations.
5. Entry
I am
aware that some sports have a limit on the number of participants and Sports
Partners reserve the right to accept entries in order of receipt, until the
maximum number of entries is obtained. I accept that this may occur prior to or
post any advertised entry dates and information. I acknowledge if insufficient

may be combined, or events cancelled. The Sports
Partner reserves the right to merge and/or re-grade teams or participants if
deemed necessary.

the NZMG website. In the absence of any age qualification date I must, by 1 February
2020, have attained the nominated minimum age for competition in any sport or
sports or in any class or classes that you have entered or may yet enter. Failure
to produce acceptable evidence of age if and when you are requested to do so by
NZMG or The Sport may result in disqualification from an event or from NZMG.
7. Suspensions
I acknowledge that in the event that I am
subject to any suspension or ban imposed by any sport in which I am entering, I
will make such information known to NZMG and The Sport. My entry may be refused
or cancelled by The Sport due to any suspension or ban.
