Match postponed.

[BARRYJ]

If a level 2 match is postponed due to weather, and a shooter can't make it for the new date, how is that handled?  Does he give up his entry fee or is it returned?

That's up to the match organizers.  Contact them.

That’s the only real way to find out. It can get complicated. If a bunch of the money has already been committed to fund the match it’s possible refunds may not be available. But short of that I would refund shooters who can’t make the new dates. In essence as the MD I broke a contract with them.

Yep, the answer is "depends" and it depends on many different factors. Prepare to not get any of your money back and then you're ready for the worst case.

They sent me an email with my options.  I assumed they would send my money back.  I have an option.  Either get free entry to next years match or get the same value in local match fees during the year.  The free local matches is the way I will go.  Don't want to wait until next year and they set the match on a date I can't make.  I'm ok with the free local matches, but seems like it will be a bookkeeping nightmare.

The one time I got a match to give me money back from a weather reschedule the email reply from the MD also included a lot of F-words towards me. So you're likely ahead there. Who knows, you might get more out of 10 free locals than the one level 2.....

You must be going to (or was going to) the same match as I am, but I am not anywhere local, it just happened to be on my way to LOCAP nats. But now I had to adjust my travels to accommodate the new date. In the grand scheme of overall costs of a 6 week working road trip dragging my trailer around 1/2 the country, the lost match fee is nothing but I was able to work out the timing, it just adds another 500 miles to my agenda. 

 

I only hope the range is not a sloppy mess next weekend.
