PROTECTED ENTRIES

Protected entries will only occur when a category is waitlisted, then priority given to the top 5-10 accordingly. As rider numbers of settled season passes have been discontinued.

CANCELLATIONS + REFUNDS

The Event may be cancelled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances, such as extreme weather or fire danger or as directed by Landowners, emergency services or other relevant authorities. If this situation arises every attempt will be made to reschedule the Event to a later date and all entries will be transferred to the new date, if a rider cannot attend the rescheduled event or the event is completely cancelled a full refund will be offered.

No refunds (including scratching) for changes of mind, injuries, sickness or broken bikes will be issued.

WAITLISTS

As always, there is a capacity constraint on our events which may mean you are advised you are waitlisted at entry. If you are a protected rider (top 5/10 in series depending on category), you will be prioritised from the waiting list first.

Waitlisted basically means you are waiting to see if a spot becomes available. Please stay on the waiting list as we usually are able to offer the majority of riders an entry, and we will let you know as soon as possible if we are able to accommodate you. Due to the high demand in some categories, this can mask the overall capacity of the event so please be patient and we will admit as many riders as we can.

If a spot becomes available, you will receive an automated email notifying you of your changed status. If not, you will receive a full refund.

If you no longer want to be on the waitlist, you can remove yourself by scratching and receive a full refund.

TRANSFERING ENTRIES

Race entries are non-transferable and you may be asked for ID to confirm you are registered. Anyone caught riding under a different name will be disqualified from racing.

PROVISIONAL ENTRIES

After entering, you will receive an entry confirmation email. If this says you are 'provisionally entered', you are entered in the event. Entry becomes confirmed when you have registered at the race and collected your race plate.
