The Biggest Loser, Release form

BG in AL

Hello,

We are starting a Biggest Loser contest here at our company, and we want to have a release form for participants to sign. Does anyone have a form or know how I can obtain a release form for this purpose?

Thanks!

I'd also be interested in the release. If your contest is affiliated with [url]www.biggestloserclub.com[/url], there is a release on the website. However, it only releases the show and related corporate entities ("sponsors") from liability, NOT the employers of the participants.

I'd run this by an attorney first.

Offhand, I don't see anything advising them to check with a doctor before starting the program. It might enable a bulemic or ???
