Tournament Participation Agreement (Revised)
Version 2
TOURNAMENT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (Revised)
By checking the acceptance box and typing your name, the Coach / Team Representative agrees to the following on behalf of themselves and the team being registered.
1. Authority to Register
You represent that you are an adult (18+) and are authorized by your team, club, or organization to register it for this tournament, to provide the contact information supplied, and to accept these terms on the team's behalf. Your acceptance of this Agreement binds you individually and, to the extent you have such authority, the club or organization you represent. It does not, and is not intended to, bind any individual player or that player's parent or legal guardian with respect to any right that belongs to the player personally, including the matters addressed in Section 4 and Exhibit A.
2. Eligibility and Conduct
You agree that your team will comply with the tournament's division, age, and eligibility rules as published by Touch Shooting, and that players, coaches, and spectators associated with your team will conduct themselves in accordance with tournament rules and the facility's code of conduct. Touch Shooting may remove any participant for conduct violations without refund.
3. Entry Fee; Cancellation and Postponement
Confirmation and Purpose of Fee. Your team's participation is confirmed upon payment of the applicable entry fee (or upon Touch Shooting recording an alternative payment arrangement). The entry fee is charged, in part, as consideration for the bracket construction, division scheduling, facility reservation, and administrative costs Touch Shooting incurs upon and following your registration, and not solely as a charge for the day of play.
Non-Refundable Fee. Because those costs are incurred upon registration, entry fees are non-refundable if your team withdraws, except where Touch Shooting agrees in writing to an exception. Touch Shooting may, at its discretion, offer a credit toward a future Touch Shooting event in lieu of a cash refund.
Cancellation by Touch Shooting. If Touch Shooting cancels the tournament outright, entry fees paid through the platform will be refunded. Touch Shooting is not responsible for a team's incidental or consequential expenses (including travel, lodging, apparel, or fees paid to third parties) arising from a cancellation, postponement, relocation, or format modification.
Force Majeure. If the tournament is postponed, relocated, or modified in format (for example, due to weather, facility unavailability, a public health order, or other circumstances beyond Touch Shooting's reasonable control), Touch Shooting will make commercially reasonable efforts to reschedule or accommodate participating teams, but no refund is owed solely because of a postponement, relocation, or format modification, as distinguished from an outright cancellation.
4. Assumption of Risk and Release
Nature of the Sport. Basketball is a physical-contact sport carrying inherent risks of injury. You acknowledge these risks on behalf of yourself and, to the extent you have authority to do so, on behalf of the club or organization you represent.
Scope of Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you, individually, and the club or organization you represent to the extent of your authority, release and hold harmless Touch Shooting LLC, its owners, staff, and volunteers, and the facility, from claims arising out of ordinary negligence in connection with your team's participation in the tournament. This release binds the signer and the registering club or organization only. It does not waive, and is not intended or permitted to waive, the personal-injury claims of any individual player, which belong to that player and, where the player is a minor, can be addressed only through the separate parent/guardian-signed instrument described in Section 11 and Exhibit A.
Carve-Outs. This release does not waive claims for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and does not apply where prohibited by law.
Individual Waivers. Individual player waivers, where required, are collected separately from the players' parents or guardians as described in Section 11 and Exhibit A.
5. Media
Touch Shooting may photograph or record tournament play generally (crowd shots, event coverage, and game footage not focused on a particular individual) for operational and promotional use. Use of an individual player's name or likeness in a manner that identifies that player for promotional purposes requires separate consent: for an adult participant, from that participant, and for a minor player, from that player's parent or legal guardian under Exhibit A. Requests regarding a specific individual's likeness should be directed to Touch Shooting.
6. Use of Information
Information you provide (your name, contact details, and team information) is handled as described in the Data Use Disclosure presented with this agreement and incorporated by reference. CerebrOS AI (Creative Code Collective Labs LLC) processes this information on Touch Shooting's behalf as a service provider under a written agreement between Touch Shooting and CerebrOS that restricts CerebrOS's use, retention, and disclosure of the information to the purposes stated in the Data Use Disclosure. Player roster information, if later collected, is governed by the separate consent obtained from each player's parent or guardian under Exhibit A and is not collected under this Agreement.
7. Communications
You agree that Touch Shooting may contact you at the email and phone number you provide for operational matters related to the tournament (schedule, logistics, results). Marketing communications, if any, require separate opt-in and can be withdrawn at any time.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of Touch Shooting and its service providers arising out of your team's participation is limited to the entry fee paid. This limitation does not apply to claims for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
9. Governing Law
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Sacramento County, California.
10. Acceptance
By typing your name and checking the acceptance box, you agree to this Participation Agreement on behalf of your team, and you consent to the electronic recording of this acceptance (your typed name, the date and time, and your network address) as evidence of agreement.
11. Minor Participants
Before any player under the age of 18 may participate, that player's parent or legal guardian must complete and sign the Minor Participant Waiver, Assumption of Risk, Emergency Medical Authorization, and Media/Data Consent attached as Exhibit A. The Coach/Team Representative is responsible for ensuring that a completed Exhibit A is on file with Touch Shooting for each minor player on the team's roster before that player is permitted to take the floor. Touch Shooting may exclude any minor player for whom a completed Exhibit A is not on file. Nothing in this Agreement, including Section 4, waives or is intended to waive any claim belonging to a minor player individually.
