In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in any programs, events or activities organized, arranged or operated by Good Game Leagues and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates ("Good Game Leagues"), I understand, acknowledge and agree to the following:

I agree to inspect the equipment, facilities and premises to be used prior to participation. If I believe that anything is unsafe, I will inform Good Game Leagues officials, team captains, referees or facilities owners of the issue and refuse to participate if not corrected.
- Acknowledgement of Risks: I acknowledge and fully understand that as a participant, I will be engaging in activities that involve risk of serious injury, including permanent disability and death, property loss, and severe social and economic losses.

I further acknowledge and fully understand that there may also be other risks that are not known or foreseeable at this time. Good Game Leagues cannot control these risks, nor has Good Game Leagues judged my skill level or ability prior to allowing me to participate and consequently is not in a position to guarantee my personal health or safety during my participation in the programs, events or activities.
I KNOWINGLY, INTELLIGENTLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ANTICIPATED AND UNANTICIPATED, FORESEEABLE AND UNFORESEEABLE, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF GOOD GAME LEAGUES OR OTHERS, AND I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR MY PARTICIPATION.

I agree that I will follow Good Game Leagues protocols, if any, for health prescreening and reporting the results of prescreening prior to attending any Good Game Leagues program, event or activity. I understand and agree that Good Game Leagues may be required by law to inform government health and other officials of positive test results or potential exposure, and I consent to my name, contact information, and exposure status to be disclosed to such officials where required. I agree to cooperate with contact tracing deemed necessary by Good Game Leagues and/or public health officials.
