Tournament Rules

Clean Games is open to participants of all ages, but participants under the age of 14 MUST sign a parental waiver in order to participate unless accompanied by a guardian (contact Eleanor to print this form).

Participants will work in teams of 2-4 people.

Participants may only collect trash in the hour allotted (9:30-10:30 am), and may only collect trash within the bounds of Port Hueneme Beach Park. Do NOT collect trash in the protected land at Ormond Beach or along Surfside Drive, as this poses a risk to yourself and the surrounding protected wildlife. Additionally, stay out of the ocean during your participation at Clean Games, and be respectful of other beach go-ers during your trash collection.

Finally, we ask that participants maintain social distancing guidelines (wear a face covering and maintain a 6 ft distance) at all times.
