in order to compete. All participants will receive an official Georgia Games Championships commemorative T-shirt.
Weather – Sports using outdoor venues are weather dependent. Competitions will be conducted unless the sport event
coordinator, facility management and Georgia Games officials determine that weather conditions are potentially dangerous or
if the playing surface would incur significant damage. No refunds will be given if events are canceled due to inclement

Governing Body Registration/Membership – NGB registration requirements vary between sports. Please check your
