TIGER SAFETY Please remember to respect each other's personal space, and responsibly keep hands, feet, and other to yourselves. This means games such as necking and 5 star are prohibited. We understand friends play these games with one another, but also know these playful actions can escalate and lead to unwanted outcomes, not only for the particIpants, but for others in the vicinity. These infractions will be taken seriously, and responded to sternly. Please continue being a Tiger that ROARS!
