Event Details
Event name, date, start time, venue, and lane or squad selection so participants know when and where to arrive and how lane assignments are determined.
A well-structured registration form standardizes data collection, reduces check-in delays, clarifies payment and refund terms, and documents participant consent for safety and liability purposes. It supports automated roster building, accurate reporting, and easier post-event reconciliation.
Organizers create and distribute the form; participants or team captains complete and sign it; sponsors and volunteers may provide supporting details.
Keep roles clear in the form itself so responsibilities — payment, waivers, and confirmations — are assigned to the correct signer or contact.
Event name, date, start time, venue, and lane or squad selection so participants know when and where to arrive and how lane assignments are determined.

Name, relationship, and phone number for use if a medical or other urgent situation arises on-site.
Registration fee amount, payment method, transaction authorization, and refund policy so organizers can reconcile finances without ambiguity.
