492380 in advance of an event if the start time is likely to be a problem. Late arrivals for events have an impact on the

11. Rules for each event will be available on the Business Games website. It is the responsibility of the Team Leader to ensure
that all participants in each event are aware of the rules. Wherever possible we would like all games to be equal gender
split. Due to current legislation, we cannot show gender bias unless there is a proven reason, so this can only be enforced
where there is a competitive advantage to upper body strength as males are proven to have stronger upper bodies than
females. Mixed Gender needs to be a minimum of one female or one male unless it states in the event rules minimum
two females/males etc. Therefore, in some games, you could have more females than males or, vice versa, more males
than females. Please refer to the individual event rules.

for future Games, and related events. Participants who have objections to their photograph being taken should make

participants are aware of this.
