Preparing to register for the World Dwarf Games 2017
Please read the introduction to the registration form (http://worlddwarfgames2017.org/check-in/ ) as
it contains important information about accommodations, meals and getting to Guelph.
If you are planning to stay at the University of Guelph Residence, choose from the options and dates
listed.
If you are in a family group, be prepared to list your other family members.
If you are choosing a double room, you can enter the name of your roommate.
Refer to the Classification Form that can be found at http://worlddwarfgames2017.org/program/ and
have someone take your measurements according to the instructions. Record these so that you can
insert them in the registration form.
Review the sports schedule found at http://worlddwarfgames2017.org/schedule/. The schedule has
been designed so that athletes can participate in each sport in their age category every day. It is your
responsibility to determine if you have the will or stamina to participate in more than one sport event
per day. We have charged a refundable $25.00 fee for athletes that will be refunded in cash at the end
of the sports events if you participate in all the events that you sign up for, unless you notify registration
at least 48 hours in advance or have an approved medical reason. This is to eliminate the
disappointment for other athletes and difficulties for sports organizers that result from athletes not
showing up at the event at the scheduled time.
If you are under 18 and are not travelling with a parent or legal guardian, you will be required to
complete a temporary guardianship form and get it signed and notarized. Signed original copies can be
submitted in person at check in.
All athletes must complete the Liability Waiver and Media Waiver. Signed original copies can be
submitted in person at check in.
Each athlete will be required to submit a Code of Conduct Form that is signed in person at check-in.
The World Dwarf Games requires athlete medical forms. The first part (A) must be filled out by the
athlete or parent and submitted on-line. The second part (Part B: Preparticipation Physical
Examination Form) is to be filled out by a physician. If you attended DAAA in Boston last July, you may
submit a copy of this form. If you don’t have the physician’s form completed by the close of
registration, you can forward it to [email protected] by July 1. If you have questions or
concerns, or it is not possible to get a doctor’s form completed, speak to your Chef de Mission or email
us at [email protected]. Canadian and American athletes will be expected to submit both
completed forms.
