Frequently asked questions
Everything about registration, passes, points and events.
Registration
How do I register for a championship?
Pick your championship, press Register Now — you instantly get a reg number and QR and can track your status.
What documents are required?
An IBAN certificate from the bank is required for every entrant and every squad player — it is how prizes are paid — except for the non-competitive mountain hike. An ID copy is required at registration for jiu-jitsu and taekwondo, where it proves age, and optional elsewhere, where it is checked at field accreditation. Teams in the 3x3 People of Determination competition attach a determination card.
Is registration free?
It depends on the competition. The mountain hike, the community cycling ride, kayak, jiu-jitsu and the schools and universities challenge carry no fee, while the rest charge a registration or insurance fee — from AED 80 per entrant in running and the obstacle course to AED 1,000 insurance for a football squad. Each sport shows its own fees and capacity on its page before you register.
Can schools take part?
Yes — the Schools & Universities Challenge is open to schools and universities in Kalba, free of charge, with a target of 1,000 participants. The group stage runs 9–11 November and the finals are on 12 November; teams register through their institution under its representative.
Is a health pledge required?
Yes — in every competition the entrant pledges, by name, that their health allows them to take part in the sport they registered for and that they bear full responsibility for any medical injury resulting from poor physical fitness. For teams the captain pledges on behalf of the registered players, and registration is not complete without it.
