Can I offer contests that involve international sports in Hawaii? What are the requirements?

Based on the documents provided, it appears that there are specific requirements and regulations for conducting and promoting combat sports contests in Hawaii.

To answer your question, it is unclear from the documents whether international sports contests are allowed in Hawaii. However, it is clear that any person or organization wishing to conduct, hold, or give mixed martial arts or boxing contests in Hawaii must obtain a license from the appropriate regulatory body and comply with the rules and regulations set forth in the relevant chapters of the Hawaii Revised Statutes.

For example, promoters of mixed martial arts contests must apply for a license from the director of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, provide evidence of financial integrity, and comply with various other requirements [1.2]. Similarly, promoters of professional boxing contests must apply for a license from the commission, provide evidence of financial integrity, and comply with various other requirements [3.1].

In addition, promoters of both mixed martial arts and boxing contests must provide proof of medical insurance for the contestants, provide a bond to cover their obligations, and submit contracts and other records to the regulatory body for review and approval [3.2][1.5].

It is important to note that the regulatory requirements for amateur mixed martial arts contests may differ from those for professional contests [1.1][1.4].

Without more information about the specific international sports contests you are interested in, it is difficult to determine whether they would be allowed in Hawaii and what additional requirements may apply. We recommend consulting with the appropriate regulatory body or seeking legal advice to determine the specific requirements for your proposed contests.

Therefore, we cannot provide a definitive answer to your question.
