COVID-19 and Other Communicable Diseases. I acknowledge that participating in the Activities will invariably place me in close proximity with other individuals and in contact with surfaces or areas that may have been handled, touched, or otherwise contacted by other individuals. Due to the nature of the Activities, as well as the participation of the other players, officials, coaches, grooms, staff members and spectators (collectively, the "Participants") acknowledge that recommended social distancing may not be followed at all times during the Activities and that surfaces and other areas or items with which I may come in contact may not be free of viruses, pathogens or other contaminants.
