Your Story

I confirm that I have read and agree to the participation terms and acknowledge that my entry, once purchased, is non-refundable (clause 17).

PAN PACIFIC MASTERS GAMES PARTICIPATION TERMS

The completed entry, volunteer or media accreditation form (Form) and these terms (including any incorporated terms) form a legally binding contract (Agreement) between the person named on the Form (you) and Gold Coast Events Management Limited ABN 30 087 348 329 of 105 Upton Street Bundall Qld 4217 (EMQ). By submitting the Form, you agree to the terms of this Agreement.

EMQ is the owner and organiser of Pan Pacific Masters Games to be staged on the Gold Coast in November 2024 (Games). You have chosen to compete, participate or officiate in the Games or a sports competition within the Games (Competition) that is managed separately by a local sports entity (Sport Provider). A reference in this Agreement to participation includes participation by way of competing, supporting, umpiring or officiating, or managing a team or athlete, or attending to cover the Games as a media representative. A reference in this Agreement to Venue includes a venue, facilities, centre or field of play relating to the Games, a Competition, check-in, entertainment or otherwise under the control or direction of EMQ.

By agreeing to the terms and conditions, you certify that if you are acting as an agent of a participant of the Games and accepting the participant’s application to participate in the Games, you have been granted their authority to grant an indemnity to EMQ on behalf of the team and/or on behalf of each individual participant.

Application Process

1. EMQ reserves the right to not accept any Form in its absolute discretion. If EMQ accepts your application, EMQ will notify you in writing and you will be issued with an accreditation pass granting you the right to participate in the Games or a Competition and access a Venue on the terms of this Agreement (Accreditation).

2. The Accreditation is issued to you and is non-transferable. The Accreditation is and remains the property of EMQ and EMQ may suspend or cancel Accreditation at any time. You will need your Accreditation to gain entry to Venues, transportation and official functions.

3. For the avoidance of doubt, all costs associated with attending the Games will be at your own expense, including any travel, accommodation, food and beverage and uniform costs.

Eligibility and Competition Rules

4. You acknowledge that the Competition may have a limit on the number of participants in that Competition and you accept the Sport Convenor has the right to accept applications for entries in its absolute discretion until the maximum number of entries is obtained. Age groups in some Competitions may be combined if insufficient entries are received. If the minimum number of entries is not received for a given Competition discipline or category, you accept that discipline or category may be cancelled.

5. You agree to abide by the Competition rules and regulations as promulgated by the Sport Convenor and its relevant International Federation, including in relation to any minimum age, eligibility or qualification requirements; results, protests and discipline, integrity or conduct issues. You agree that failure to comply with those rules and regulations may result in your suspension or automatic disqualification from the Competition and further action will be at the discretion of the Sports Provider.

6. Any disputes on eligibility or related Competition Rules under this section will be determined by EMQ, whose decision will be final and binding.

Venue Conditions

7. You must comply with the Venue Conditions of Entry.
