I, (Name entered above) am aware that participation in
any Scottish Highland Athletic event is an inherently dangerous activity involving many risks of
injury. I understand that the dangers and risks of participating in such activity include death, spinal
injury, paralysis, brain damage and serious injury and/or impairment to other aspects of my body,
general health and well-being.
In consideration of the directors, board members, sponsors, promoters, managers, committee
chairs, and/or field judges permitting me to participate in any of the athletic events, which include, but is
not limited to practicing, competing, and/or retrieving athletic equipment (“shagging”), I voluntarily,
knowingly and intelligently assume all risk of personal injury or death associated with such
participation. I understand that I am solely responsible for providing my own personal health, accident
and liability insurance.
I understand that in consideration of the Capital District Scottish Games management
permitting me to participate in the above-named activities, I hereby agree to waive any and all claims I
may otherwise have had for personal injury or death associated with such participation (including any
and all claims arising from negligence) against the owners, managers, sponsors, directors, promoters,
and/or field judges.
I fully and completely understand all of the terms of this Agreement and knowingly appreciate
that I am waiving all rights to sue any of the parties named hereinabove for negligence or any other
cause of action I may have now or at any time in the future.
I also understand that I am solely responsible and assume all risk for any lost, damaged or stolen
personal property, including but not limited to motor vehicles, RVs, and/or personal athletic equipment.
I hereby acknowledge that I have carefully read this entire document. I further acknowledge that
I fully understand all of its contents. I agree to be fully bound by this Agreement. I also acknowledge
that this Agreement is binding on all of my family members, heirs, assigns, trustees and/or legal
representatives.
Finally, in the event that Covid-19 (or any other pandemic) is deemed to be a potential health
risk, I will follow and abide by all health protocols set forth by the CDC, State of New York and Albany
County (whichever may be the strictest) at the time of the Games. My failure to abide by the
appropriate protocols will result with my ejection from the premises for the duration of the event(s).
This Agreement is in full force and effect for each day of the 2024 Capital District Scottish
Games.
