2008 Spearboard Open Spearfishing Tournament WAIVER:  May 17 & 18, 2008

Please be advised that this is a waiver, which means you may be giving up valuable legal rights by signing this document.  If you do not understand your legal position by signing this document, you should consult with an attorney.  Please initial next to each item.  Your signature at the bottom indicates agreement with all items, regardless if one or more items is not initialed.  If you do not agree with all items (paragraphs), do not sign the bottom.  Participation in the 2008 Spearboard Open is conditioned upon your execution of this waiver.  If you, or your legal guardian, do not sign this document, you are NOT a participant of the 2008 Spearboard Open. 

Definitions

1.         Spearboard:   Although the tournament is run exclusively by Spearfishing Magazine, in the context of this document, Spearboard shall mean Spearfishing Magazine, Enterprise Publications, the Spearboard Open Committee, Spearboard and Spearfishing Magazine’s officers/directors/shareholders, Spearboard and/or Spearboard Open’s Sponsors, and any and all owners of property where the Captain’s Meeting or Weigh-in occur.

2.         Diving:  In the context of this document, diving shall mean freediving, apnea diving, SCUBA diving, and spearfishing (or otherwise using any method to harvest fish) while in or on the water.

3.         I:  In the context of this document, the word “I” shall mean me, my heirs, survivors, personal representatives, estate, legal guardian, attorneys in fact, or anyone else who may be empowered to act on my behalf.  Or, if I am signing as the legal guardian of a registrant, than it shall mean my ward, me, my ward’s heirs, survivors, personal representatives, estate, attorneys in fact, legal guardian, or anyone else who may act on behalf of my ward or principal.

 

____   I understand the inherent risks associated with diving.  When harvesting fish, I understand that the risk of injury or death is even greater.

 

____    I understand that weather conditions may change rapidly, and that Spearboard is in no way responsible for my decision to head out and participate in this event.  Spearboard’s decision to NOT cancel the tournament does not act as an endorsement of good weather or marine conditions.  I will gauge these conditions myself.

 

____    I acknowledge that Spearboard is in no way directing my activities, or otherwise acting as an advisor or principal.  I assume all risks not only associated with diving and spearfishing, but also boating and/or trailering.

 

___      I hereby acknowledge that not only can injuries/death occur from the risks of diving, but that diving is physically exerting, and that I must be responsible for making decisions about my own physical condition.

 

___      I hereby agree to waive my right to sue Spearboard by participating in the 2008 Spearboard Open, for any injuries, death, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and all other forms of economic and non-economic damages.  I waive all claims, and I will hold Spearboard harmless from any claims brought on my behalf.

 

___      I hereby acknowledge that the weigh-in setting is a pavilion set back in the woods, and that there may be dangers associated with pot holes, animals, prizes, or other hazards associated with a wooded setting and spearfishing tournament.  I will watch my children, if applicable, and understand the hazards.  I have read the rules, as well.

 

____    I hereby acknowledge that Spearboard is not a reseller of any prizes donated to the Spearboard Open, and is in no way in the chain of distribution.  Rather, Spearboard is merely a temporary custodian of said prizes.  Spearboard is not responsible for any grievance or claim I may have with respect to a prize.

____    Additionally, I hereby provide a release for photo and television images.
