Participants shall be a minimum of 18 years old
The player must have started working with their employer at least (3) months prior to the start date of the tournament. For the purpose of verifying the player's employment start date with their government entity, the organising committee of the tournament may request the following documents from the government entity:
- A copy of the employee's (player's) employment contract
- A copy of a document showing the employee's (player's) start date of employment
- A copy of the work visa for the employee (player) if they are a non-citizen
- A copy of the employee's (player's) ID card, with the original to be presented to the tournament organisers on the day the competition begins
If it is found that the player is not employed by the government entity or has not met the duration specified in the above paragraph of these regulations, they will be automatically excluded from participating in the tournament. The government entity may request the committee to reconsider the player's exclusion decision within (5) days from the date the exclusion decision is issued. The committee must issue its final decision on the reconsideration request within two days from the date of receiving the request, and at least two days before the tournament competitions begin
All participants must be physically and mentally fit to take on such a strenuous and demanding obstacle course
All participants must be confident in the water and be able to swim.
