Can I offer contests that involve college sports in Wisconsin? What are the requirements?

Based on the context documents, it is not clear whether contests involving college sports are allowed in Wisconsin. However, there are requirements for conducting amateur unarmed combat sports contests and boxing contests in the state.

To conduct an amateur unarmed combat sports contest in Wisconsin, the promoter or club must ensure that the contestants have adequate health insurance [1.2](1)]. Additionally, the promoter or club must comply with various regulations, including having licensed referees and judges present, having a physician examine each contestant before and after each match, and having emergency medical services personnel and an ambulance present on the premises [1.2](2)]. The department also establishes rules for qualifications and fees for licensure of referees and judges, regular health examinations of contestants, and policies prohibiting contestants from using drugs [1.2](3)].

To conduct a boxing contest in Wisconsin, the promoter or club must comply with various regulations, including limiting professional boxing contests to 12 rounds, ensuring that gloves weighing not less than 8 ounces are worn by contestants who are in professional boxing contests and who weigh under 140 pounds, and not less than 10 ounces by other contestants in boxing contests [1.5](1-3)]. The department may also allow or provide for decisions upon professional boxing contests held under this chapter to be made by the referee or by the referee and 2 judges appointed by the department under regulations prescribed by the department [1.5](7)].

There are also licensing requirements for promoters, matchmakers, referees, boxers, and other individuals involved in professional contests and amateur unarmed combat sports contests [1.8].

Based on the available information, it is not clear whether contests involving college sports are allowed in Wisconsin. Therefore, we recommend consulting with legal counsel or contacting the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services for further guidance.
