I agree to act appropriately at all times at the Event, including obeying all laws, regulations, Event rules and directions of officials and I understand that my entry or participation may be voided if through my actions or behaviour, in the opinions of the organiser or an official, I have broken these rules, any law or regulation or brought the Event into disrepute.
