Further details, including how required vaccination documentation can be presented, will be shared on the Event and IWTG websites from time-to-time.
DESERT CHAMPIONS LLC (“DC”) MAY REJECT ANY VACCINATION VERIFICATION IT DOES NOT BELIEVE IS VALID OR TRUTHFUL.
Health Protocols Compliance: While at the IWTG, I and any minor or other person accompanying me will comply with the health protocols established for the IWTG and all applicable orders, regulations and directives relating to COVID-19 and its variants from national, California, Riverside County and other local governmental and health agencies.

Authorization to Release Information: I authorize DC to disclose my contact information to an authorized public health agency when requested by that agency for the purpose of contact tracing as part of its efforts to identify those with possible exposure to COVID-19 and its variants and to promote public safety. This Authorization to Release Information is valid for one (1) year from the date of my signature.
