ANNEX!1!
WFDF Event Participant Agreement
Please read this document carefully – it affects your legal rights.
This agreement is to be completed by all registered participants at a WFDF event.
For the purposes of this agreement:
• "WFDF" means the World Flying Disc Federation, and includes all of its committees, member national affiliated
associations and clubs; and their directors, officers, employees and volunteers;
• “Sport” means a flying disc sport, including ultimate, guts, disc golf and individual events.
• "Event" includes the specific WFDF event for which the participant is registered and any future WFDF events that the
person may participate in, notwithstanding future agreements entered into.
• “Activity” means any activity associated with participation in the Event, including all competitions, preparations,
social events, meetings, ceremonies and the provision of services such as accommodation, food and transport.
• "I", "Me", "My" refers to the person undersigned and all minors for whom they are a legal guardian.
Purpose
This agreement aims to make clear some, but not all, of the aspects of the Event that should be considered common
knowledge for all registered participants. If I am unclear about the meaning of a particular phrase, I will seek clarification
from a representative of WFDF.
By reading and understanding and signing this agreement, I agree to the provisions set forth within this document and that I
am equipped with basic knowledge to help ensure my own safety and the safety of those for whom I are legally responsible.
I hereby agree to the following conditions in consideration of WFDF allowing me to participate in the Event:
1. I understand the basic rules and physical requirements of the Sport.
2. I agree to read, understand and comply with the WFDF by-laws, policies, codes of conduct and the rules of the Sport. I
can obtain copies of the by-laws, policies, rules and the code of conduct from the WFDF website (www.wfdf.org).
3. I agree that, by participating in the Event, I am risking serious injury including chronic pain, permanent incapacitation,
paralysis and death, particularly through contact with the ground, other players and objects on or outside the playing field. I
acknowledge that there have historically been deaths associated with participating in similar Events due to lightning strike,
heart attack and road accident.
4. I understand that the Sport is self-refereed, so that the athletes must take on all responsibilities that might be associated
with a referee. In particular, I take responsibility to ensure that the Sport is played within the rules, that athlete safety is
maintained, and that problems are addressed as they occur.
5. Although the Sport may be termed a non-contact sport, I agree that contact may occur. It may occur because players fail
to perceive a potentially dangerous situation or evaluate risk poorly or lack sufficient co-ordination or intentionally cause
contact. I will take reasonable steps to avoid collisions that would be expected to harm me or other players.
6. I understand that I must be medically and physically fit and able to participate in the Event. I agree that, prior to
participating in the Event, I have consulted a medical practitioner if I have a pre-existing medical condition that could be
exacerbated by my participation, or if I am pregnant.
7. If I believe it is unsafe to continue to participate, I will remove myself from an Activity or the Event.
8. Playing fields may contain defects such as holes, sprinkler heads, mud, rocks, broken glass and other foreign materials. I
acknowledge that WFDF may not have the resources to fully inspect playing fields before each Activity and so I will ensure
that fields are safe prior to playing on them, take mitigating action if necessary or choose not to play if the risks are too
great.
9. I will remove myself immediately from any lightning-affected Activity and not wait for an official cancellation of the
Activity.
10. I will discontinue participation in an Activity if I am affected by heat, feel dizzy, nauseous or weak, and will seek
medical attention immediately.
11. I will plan to avoid driving any vehicle if tired or intoxicated. I will avoid being a passenger in a vehicle if I believe the
driver is tired or intoxicated. I will exercise extra prudence and planning for long journeys and in adverse conditions such as
rain or night driving.
12. I agree that I am responsible for ensuring that any property I bring to an Activity is protected from loss, theft or damage.
13. I agree that either I have a right to public health cover in all of the countries and jurisdictions in which the Event will
take place, or that I have taken out sufficient medical or travel insurance to cover potential medical expenses for injuries
sustained during the Event, including long-term hospitalisation or permanent incapacitation. I agree that any injuries I
sustain during the Event may result in significant financial loss through hospitalization, long-term medical bills or being
unable to work. If I choose not to obtain personal insurance against such losses it is at my own risk.

ANNEX!1!
14. I agree to abide by the rules and regulations set forth in the WFDF Code of Conduct, including the following:
• I agree to treat other persons with respect, including using language that is respectful of their race, gender and
physical characteristics.
• I agree to not physically harm or threaten physical harm to another person, including reckless actions while playing the
Sport.
• I agree to not harass other persons by continuing to behave in an unwelcome manner after it has been made clear by
them that such behaviour is unwelcome.
• I agree to not discriminate against other persons in any decision-making responsibility I have, based on race, gender,
age, sexual orientation or beliefs.
• I agree to not participate in any betting activities relating to the outcome of competition at the Event at which I am
participating.
• I agree to abide by dress codes at opening, closing and medal ceremonies, wearing my team uniform if necessary or I
will not be allowed to participate in those ceremonies.
• I agree to abide by all WFDF by-laws, policies and the rules of the Sport.
• I agree to abide by all of the laws of the countries and jurisdictions where I am participating in the Event.
• I agree to not participate in the Sport if my judgement, reaction times or physical ability is significantly impaired by
intoxication due to legal or illicit drugs.
• I agree to conduct myself according to the Spirit of the Game, both on and off the field.
The consequences of breaching this Code of Conduct include suspension from the Sport at all levels and the referral of
matters to the police.
15. I am aware that if I choose to participate in the Event, then I may be subject to anti-doping controls and testing in
accordance with WFDF Anti-Doping Rules and the World Anti-Doping Authority. Anti-doping includes control over some
recreational drugs that may remain in the system after the intoxicating effects have largely disappeared. Penalties for
failing a test include lifetime ban from all competitive sport (not just flying disc sports). I will inform myself of the level of
anti-doping control to be exercised at the Event.
16. As a participant in the event I abide by the WFDF Code of Conduct on sports betting integrity for athletes, officials and
event participants and declare in particular that I will not bet on my sport, that I will not share sensitive information about
my sport and that I will not take part in any activities on match fixing or sports manipulation. I understand that any offence
against these regulations will be sanctioned according to WFDF policies.
17. I give WFDF permission for the free use of my name, voice, picture, likeness and provided biographical information in
any broadcast, telecast, commercial recording, advertising, promotion or other account of WFDF, the Event and any Sports.
By signing below I agree that I have read and understood this document.

agreement must be signed by their legal guardian (usually, either parent).
