Can I offer contests that involve a single game or event in Hawaii? What are the requirements?
Based on the documents provided, it is possible to offer contests that involve a single game or event in Hawaii, but there are specific requirements that must be met.
To hold a mixed martial arts event, a promoter must obtain a permit from the director [1.1]. The promoter must provide proof of medical insurance for contestants, submit all contracts with managers and contestants for review and approval, provide cash or checks to contestants, and ensure that an ambulance with paramedics and appropriate security are present at the venue [1.1]. The promoter must also provide evidence that the event will be conducted in compliance with municipal fire codes and maintain sanitary conditions at the site [1.1].
In addition, a promoter must hold a valid license to promote mixed martial arts contests [1.3]. The application for a license must include evidence of financial integrity and proof that the applicant has satisfied all applicable requirements of the department’s business registration division [1.3]. The director will only issue a license if the applicant has complied with the conditions of the chapter, possesses the necessary qualifications, and is the real party in interest [1.3].
Every promoter holding a license to conduct mixed martial arts contests must furnish a written report to the director within three business days after the conclusion of every contest for which admission fees are charged and received [1.5].
Therefore, to offer contests that involve a single game or event in Hawaii, the promoter must obtain a permit from the director, hold a valid license, and comply with all applicable requirements.
