WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
NOTE: THIS FORM MUST BE READ AND SIGNED BEFORE THE PARTICIPANT IS PERMITTED

AFFIRMS HAVING READ IT.
IN CONSIDERATION of my involvement at the Mid-Atlantic
Classic Badminton Tournament under the auspices of USA Badminton, I acknowledge,
appreciate and agree that:
1. I risk bodily injury, including paralysis,
dismemberment, disability and death, and while particular rules of the sport,
equipment, and discipline may reduce this risk, this risk of injury does exist,
as well as the risk of damage to or loss of property.
2. I knowingly and freely
assume all such risk; both known and unknown, even if arising from the
negligence of the releasees or others; I willingly agree to comply with the
stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I
observe any unusual or unnecessary hazard during my presence or participation or
if I observe any concern in my readiness for participation, I will immediately
bring such to the attention of the nearest official and refrain from
participation; and,
3. I, for myself, and on behalf of my heirs, assigns,
personal representatives and next of kin, hereby release, hold harmless and
promise not to sue USA Badminton and the Mid-Atlantic Tournament committee, their
sponsors, their officers, volunteers, staff, sponsors and/or agents, ("releasees")
with respect to any and all injury and loss arising from my participation,
whether caused by the negligence of the releasees, the condition of the premises
or otherwise, except that which is the result of gross negligence or wanton
misconduct, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
4. I agree to be bound by the
rules and regulations of the International Badminton Federation and those of USA
Badminton and I hereby stipulate that I am eligible to play in the events for
which I am applying and that I understand that the above mentioned make no
representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the premises or the
operation of the event.
5. I hereby grant to USA Badminton, its licensees and
contractees including photographers, television and motion picture companies,
their affiliates and subsidiaries, full television and motion picture rights
including authority to film or videotape me during matches, narratives, personal
interviews, or comment thereon for any and all commercial, news or other purposes
together with the right to transfer or grant their rights to others, all without
remuneration or compensation to me whatsoever. I have read this Release of
Liability and Waiver Agreement, fully understand its terms, understand that I
have given up substantial rights by signing it, and sign it freely and
voluntarily without any inducement. And I further acknowledge by these presents
that I am aware that DRUG TESTING may occur at this event.
