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

Based on the documents provided, it appears that Wisconsin has regulations in place for conducting unarmed combat sports contests and boxing contests. However, there is no specific information regarding contests involving international sports.

To conduct an unarmed combat sports contest in Wisconsin, a promoter or club must be licensed by the department and comply with various requirements, including having licensed referees and judges present, providing adequate medical care, and ensuring contestants have adequate health insurance [1.2]. Any promoter or club that conducts a sham or fake contest will forfeit its license and will not be entitled to another license [1.1]. Contestants who participate in sham contests may be banned from future contests and may be required to forfeit an amount determined by the department, but not more than $500 [1.3].

To conduct a boxing contest in Wisconsin, a person must be licensed by the department and comply with various requirements, including limiting professional contests to 12 rounds, ensuring gloves are worn, and prohibiting unsportsmanlike conduct [1.5]. A person may conduct an amateur boxing contest in Wisconsin only if the contest is sanctioned by and conducted under the rules of the national governing body for amateur boxing that is recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee [1.4].

To obtain a license to conduct professional contests or amateur unarmed combat sports contests, a promoter or club must submit an application to the department and pay an annual fee of $500 [1.9]. The department may limit the number of contests given by any promoter or club in any city, village, or town and may reprimand a promoter or club for violating regulations [1.6].

Based on the information provided, it is unclear whether there are any specific requirements for offering contests involving international sports in Wisconsin. Therefore, we recommend consulting with a legal professional or contacting the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services for further guidance.
