RULES AND EQUIPMENT
WCSG follows North Carolina Senior Games rules. Visit https://www.ncseniorgames.org/sports to view the rules. The safety and sportsmanlike conduct of everyone is of concern. Wake County Senior Games Officials have the authority to disqualify, and/or remove, from current and future WCSG programs, anyone who exhibits inappropriate behavior or a condition of medical concern. Falsifying information in the registration process will not be permitted and may result in disqualification from current and future Senior Games activities.
Participants may provide their own equipment provided the Event Manager determines it meets the official standards, with the exception of any games noted in the rules. Appropriate footwear is required at all activities — except for swimming events. Contact the WCSG Events coordinator for more details.
EVENT CHECK-IN
All WCSG participants must check-in with event staff 30 minutes prior to each event’s start time at the assigned event location. A photo identification and verification of one’s birth date will be required at all event check-in sites.
Any participant not reporting to an event on time will be disqualified — all starting times are forfeit times. There will be no switching of events on the day of competition and on-site registrations will not be accepted. Participating in an event that you are not pre-registered for will result in disqualification.
MEDALS/T-SHIRTS
Gold, silver and bronze stars will be presented to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers in each gender and age group for each event. A participant must compete and score in an activity to be eligible for an award and to qualify for NCSG State Finals. All participants will receive a medal and a t-shirt.
Medals and shirts will be available at the first event in which each participant is registered. No awards will be mailed.
CANCELLATION & INCLEMENT WEATHER
WCSG officials reserve the right to cancel any event due to insufficient registration and/or combine age groups if fewer than three people sign up in an age group. In the event of inclement weather, please check your email confirmation information for contact info for each event. All cancellations or changes will be announced on our website www.wcseniorgames.org and an email may be sent.
REFUND POLICY
Registration and activity fees for all Wake County Senior Games events are non-refundable. However, please notify the Local Coordinator if you plan to cancel. This may allow for another participant/team to register in your place.
SAFETY
All participants and spectators must adhere to any safety rules and protocols of any facility in which Wake County Senior Games events are held. This may include distancing/spacing, the use of face coverings, temperature checks or any other guidelines to ensure the safety of everyone in attendance. Spectating may be limited for some indoor events.
