Competitors who are on their own in a division can change to move up a division or cancel their registration for a full credit.

If the registration deadline passes & there is no one in your division, we will aim to move you to a different divison where possible (you will receive communication in relation to this).

If this is not feasible a credit will be raised in line with our refund policy. This can be used on any of our tournaments.
