Managing Athlete Waivers

Set up your waiver, check who's signed, request missing waivers, and collect them on-site — all from one place.

Liability waivers are a required part of running an event on Competition Corner. Athletes are prompted to sign during the registration flow, so in most cases waivers are collected automatically. However there are situations where you'll need to follow up — for example, if you've manually added an athlete, swapped someone in, or an athlete missed the original waiver prompt.

Setting Up Your Waiver

Before athletes can be prompted to sign, you need to add your liability waiver text to your event. Navigate to Registration > Registration Settings and enter your waiver content in the Waiver & Liability section. This is a required step before your event can go live.

Checking Waiver Status

You can check the waiver status of any individual athlete directly from the athlete list — no need to open their full registration record.

  1. Go to Participants > Athletes

  2. Click the […] icon in the Actions column for the athlete

  3. Click View Waiver to open their signed waiver

If the athlete does not have a waiver on file, the option will appear as Request Waiver instead — clicking it sends them a waiver request directly.

Sending Waiver Requests

If athletes haven't signed their waiver, you can send reminders individually or in bulk:

  • Individual request — from the athlete list, click the […] icon next to the athlete and select Request Waiver. Use this when you only need to follow up with a specific person

  • Bulk reminder — from Participants > Athletes, click Request Missing Waivers to send a reminder to every athlete who hasn't signed yet. This is the fastest way to clear outstanding waivers ahead of competition day

Collecting Waivers On-Site

If athletes arrive on competition day without a signed waiver, your check-in team can collect it at the door using the Competition Corner app. See Athlete Check-In: Using the App on Competition Day for details.

What Athletes See

It's useful to know the athlete's side of the waiver process so you can guide them if they contact you for help.

Athletes are prompted to sign the waiver during registration. If they miss it or need to sign it later, they can access it at any time from their Competition Corner dashboard:

  1. Locate the relevant event and click the dropdown icon

  2. A pending waiver will appear awaiting their signature — or if already signed, they can view their archived copy

If an athlete says they can't find their waiver, direct them here. You can also resend the waiver request from your end — see Sending Waiver Requests above.
