Any withdrawals after that date will forfeit their entry fee, except in the case of a medical emergency, which will receive a full refund up until 9:00AM the day before the event (with proper documentation and approval of the Contest Director only). Any withdrawals after this time will result in forfeiture of all entry fees regardless of the circumstances involved.
Refunds for Alternates: Alternates who are slotted less than 10 days before the event or have yet to receive a slot and wish to withdraw must do so before 9:00AM the day before the event to receive a full refund.
