I doubt that term was enforceable anyway.

Random things don’t become real just because they’re written down. Contracts have to represent “a meeting of the minds” and there has to be adequate consideration (expensive asks should be paid for). Slipping an uncompensated noncompete clause into a sports liability waiver has a low chance of satisfying either principle.




Yes, this was my thought as well. The beginning of the waiver read something like "In consideration of the services received from COMPANY NAME, ..." and my immediate reaction was "I'm the one paying you here, not the other way around." The owner is a real estate attorney so I'm sure he's not oblivious either.
