My partner brought up a few good questions.
1. In reference to the above quote. What will be signing?
2. will we get to preview on the site before we spend 1,000's of dollars in Registration, transportation, equipment, lodging etc.only to find out that there is something in the fine print that is not agreeable and past the time of refund.
3. Concealed Cary Permits, yes / no ? I have done a quick check and my state does not have reciprocity with UT.
Thank you </div></div>
I'll assume questions #1 and #2 are both about the "stuff you have to sign" comment. If this is incorrect for #2, please clarify. On the registration form, at the bottom, it says, <span style="font-style: italic">"You will be required to sign a liability waiver and media acknowledgement / model release during sign-in."</span> That is the scope of what you will sign during check-in.
At an event of this style, we obviously need an acknowledgement and acceptance of the dangers inherent in any shooting match as well as the additional risks involved in adventure racing and land-nav. This type of acknowledgement/acceptance/release is required so these types of events can happen, otherwise there is too much risk to our companies, homes/assets, and livelihoods if you do something dumb.
The "media acknowledgement and/or model release" is there because we are going to have media on site and competitors may end up on film; it will put the onus on the competitor if he needs to stay anonymous.
These forms will not be available beforehand. If you have specific concerns please contact me privately.
With regard to question #3, concealed carry, it shouldn't matter. You aren't going to have loaded firearms unless you are at a control point/stage under the direction of an RO; if you choose to carry one or more of them in a pack or otherwise contained they won't be loaded; and finally at a shooting match one can reasonably expect that the competitors have the required firearms and they are not "hidden, or secreted in a manner that the public would not be aware of its presence"
