2026 Continental Divide Challenge
WD40 (CO) · Mar 17-20, 2026
Chaperones & Medical Release Form
All students must be chaperoned at all times by a parent or adult chaperone who is 21 years or older.
If a student is attending any part of the tournament with a chaperone other than a parent or legal guardian, the parent or legal guardian must complete this Medical Release Form. Chaperones must carry this form and accompanying documentation with them at all times.
If your student will be attending the entire tournament with a chaperone other than his/her parent or legal guardian, please contact the registrar at: cdc.signup@gmail.com. Include the name of the student, the name of the parent, and the name of the chaperone who will be responsible for the student.
To keep our tournament running smoothly and on-time, non-parent chaperones will need to serve as a full time judge throughout the tournament. Please plan to check in with Ballot Push at all push times.
If you have any questions, please contact Julie Schiffmayer, Tournament Registrar: cdc.signup@gmail.com.
