Entry fee refund protection (Insurance) is the responsibility of the entrant (individual or team captain) registering, so please take into consideration the interests of any team members when making the decision to acquire it or not.

Any entrant (individual or team captain) opting to not take out the event booking insurance must accept there will be zero refund offered for the event after the initial 48hrs of a team entering.

Please note, no refunds will be given and entrants (individuals or team captains) are strongly encouraged to take out X-Cover refund protection (insurance) by CoverGenius when entering online. This cover protects your entry fee as per the provider’s Terms and Conditions here.

If an entrant (individuals or team) can no longer attend the event and they have taken out Cover Genius Insurance when entering, they must contact the insurance company directly to lodge their claim. If an entrant (individuals or team) simply changes their mind, they must take responsibility for selling their own entry to recoup costs.

There are NO transfers of entries from one year to the next.
