Liability Waiver

[Boston99]

I was standing at home plate waiting to say “play ball” on the second day of a youth sports festival (day one was uneventful). All of a sudden a tournament official walks up and asks me to sign a waiver of liability. I was prepared to walk but my partner already signed his waiver, and I do have (NASO) insurance, so I signed and did the game. I have never seen any thing like this in 15 years as a sports official. I’m not sure what made me more angry, the waiver itself or the way in which it was presented.
