(3) Subsection (1) does not render unlawful discrimination against a person: (a) if the person is not reasonably capable of performing the actions reasonably required in relation to the sporting activity; or (b) if the persons who participate or are to participate in the sporting activities are selected by a method which is reasonable on the basis of their skills and abilities relevant to the sporting activity and relative to each other; or (c) if a sporting activity is conducted only for persons who have a particular disability and the first‑mentioned person does not have that disability.
