Entry fees are not refundable. Please read this before you pay — it explains what that covers, what happens if the event cannot run, and how changes and transfers work.
All applications and fees are non-refundable. Once your registration is accepted, your entry fee is not returned — including if you withdraw, change your mind, are injured before the event, or do not attend on the day.
This applies to athlete entry fees, fees for additional divisions, and coach pass fees alike.
All divisions are subject to change. If fewer than four athletes enter a weight division, the organizing committee may combine weight divisions so the division can still run.
Being moved into a combined division is not grounds for a refund — your entry still competes.
World Class black belt competitors who do not make weight on their second attempt are moved up or down to the next weight division. Competitors in divisions with no weigh-in who cannot make the weight they registered for will be disqualified rather than moved, and no fee is returned.
Enter your weight honestly — deliberately falsifying it also risks disqualification.
If the festival is cancelled outright by the organizer, entry fees are refunded, less payment processing fees.
If the festival is postponed to a new date, entries carry over to the new date automatically. Refunds are not offered if you cannot attend the new date.
If the day is cut short once competition has begun, athletes whose divisions never ran may request a refund for those divisions.
If a division still cannot run after combining — a single entrant with nobody to face — it is held as an exhibition match. The sole entrant is automatically awarded first place in that division.
They may also choose to compete in the exhibition against an athlete from a slightly higher or lower belt, weight or age division, so they still get their match on the day.
Because the athlete still competes and still places, this is not grounds for a refund.
You may switch divisions after registering — before the deadline, or on the day at the registration desk.
You may add divisions after registering, at $20 for each additional division. This can also be done on the day.
You may transfer your entry to another athlete from the same school if you cannot compete. Because entry fees are non-refundable, transferring the entry is the alternative to a refund.
Bring changes to the registration desk on event day, or email belairkicks@gmail.com beforehand.
