Can I offer contests that involve international sports in Alaska? What are the requirements?
Yes, you can offer contests that involve international sports in Alaska, but you must obtain a license from the state. According to AKST 05.10.160, a person, club, corporation, organization, association, or fraternal society conducting boxing, sparring, or wrestling contests or exhibitions without a license is guilty of a misdemeanor. However, there are no specific requirements mentioned for conducting contests involving international sports.
To conduct such contests, every contestant in a boxing contest, sparring or wrestling match not conducted under this chapter shall be examined within eight hours before the contest by a practicing physician. The examining physician may disqualify any contestant the physician considers physically unfit to participate [2.1].
It is recommended that you contact the Alaska Department of Revenue for more information on the specific requirements for conducting such contests [1.3].
