Acknowledgment of Risk and Release of Liability

I understand that participating in Fortner Outdoors Group (FOG) activities, tournaments, meetings, and events involves risks, including boating, fishing, travel, weather, water hazards, equipment failure, injury, illness, death, property damage, and the actions of other people. I choose to participate voluntarily, understand these risks, and am responsible for my own conduct, safety decisions, equipment, and personal property.

In consideration of being permitted to participate, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I release and hold harmless Fortner Outdoors Group, its organizers, directors, officers, staff, volunteers, sponsors, and affiliates from claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses arising from my participation, including claims involving injury, illness, death, or property damage caused by ordinary negligence. This release does not cover wanton or intentional misconduct or waive rights or claims that cannot lawfully be waived. It does not replace any separate event-specific agreement or insurance requirement.

Additional Acknowledgments

I have read and agree to the current FOG Tournament Rules and any published rules for the series or event in which I participate.

I have reviewed the FOG Privacy Policy and Terms of Use available at fishfog.com.

I understand that emergency contact information may be used when reasonably necessary to respond to an incident involving me.
