Refund and Payment Policies
If the Event Partner cancels the event:
If an event must be canceled, every attempt will be made to reschedule the event in order to provide the opportunity for the students to compete. If the event cannot be rescheduled, a refund will be given less the $5 that the REC must keep in order to cover their processing fees. For example, a refund of $35 would be given for an event that costs $40. If you have any questions about this policy, please reach out to the event partner.
If a Coach/Mentor completes registration for the event then chooses to withdraw or not attend:
No refunds will be given unless there is a team on the waitlist that can attend in the withdrawing teams place. In the event there is a team from the waitlist that can replace the withdrawing team, a refund will be given less the $5 that the REC must keep to cover their processing fees. For example, a refund of $35 would be given for an event that costs $40. If you have any questions about this policy, please reach out to the event partner.
Webcast
A link to the live event will appear here on the day of the competition. Live streams are amazing when they work but can sometimes refuse to play nicely. It is technology after all. Our priority is to ensure the timeliness of our competitions. If the live stream goes down, we will do our best to get it back up and running if it does not impact the flow of the competition. If it does begin to impact the schedule of the competition, we will hit record and post the recording here once the competition is complete. Thank you for your understanding.
Judging Format
Please review the following Judging Format options and keep the ones that apply to your event, and delete the others that do not apply.
