Badger State Games organizers have the responsibility and the right to make decisions which uphold the philosophy and spirit of the Games.

RESIDENCY - A participant must be a legal resident of the State of Wisconsin for at least 30 days prior to the first day of competition. University/college students and military personnel who reside in Wisconsin or are in regular attendance at a Wisconsin educational institution with a valid student I.D. Card are eligible to attend.

Proof of residency must be furnished upon request.

AGE REQUIREMENTS - Competitors will use their age as specified in sport specific pages.

AMATEUR STATUS - No professional athlete is allowed to compete in the sport of his or her profession within one year of active professional competition, except downhill skiing and figure skating. See the downhill skiing and figure skating pages for more information.

REFUND POLICY - The WSDC and the Badger State Games employ a NO REFUND policy.

INSURANCE - It is understood that the Wisconsin Sports Development Corporation does not insure against, and accepts no responsibility for, personal injury or property loss or damage sustained by the participant as a result of his or her participation in the Badger State Games. Each participant, official and volunteer is responsible for his or her own medical insurance.

WEATHER POLICY - Sports using outdoor sites are weather dependent. Competitions will be conducted unless Badger State Games personnel determine the weather conditions to be potentially dangerous or life threatening for athletes, volunteers, or officials. There will be no refunds due to weather.

T-SHIRTS - All registered athletes will receive a t-shirt. Those registered after their sports online deadline may not receive a t-shirt onsite. Those t-shirts will be mailed 4 - 6 weeks after the event. Late registrants who have not received a t-shirt by that time must write the Badger State Games no later than April 1 for the Winter Games and no later than September 1 for the Summer Games to request one. Requests for t-shirts cannot be honored after September 1. Badger State Games will mail t-shirts to pre-registered athletes who fail to pick up their t-shirt on-site. However, these athletes must send a written request and $5.00 to BSG to cover shipping and handling charges. BSG will do its best to accommodate requests. However, late online registrants and pre-registered athletes who fail to pick up their t-shirts on-site, may receive a volunteer t-shirt instead of an athlete t-shirt and sizes cannot be guaranteed. Badger State Games will mail t-shirts to pre-registered athletes who fail to pick up their t-shirt on-site if these athletes send a written request and $5.00 to BSG prior to March 1 for Winter Games and July 19 for Summer Games to cover shipping and handling charges. Team participants who did not replace roster holders with participant information prior to June 12 will need to follow the same procedure. If a size was not designated prior to the event, one needs to be included with the written request. BSG will do its best to accommodate size requests. However, late online registrants and preregistered athletes who fail to pick up their t-shirts onsite, may receive a volunteer t-shirt instead of an athlete t-shirt and sizes cannot be guaranteed.
