THERE ARE NO CASH REFUNDS.
There will be NO REFUNDS of entry fees or purchase of special event tickets because of weather, acts of nature, communicable disease outbreak, or lost/stolen passes/tickets.
The only exceptions to the no-refund policy are:
-Entries received after the entry deadline.
-Entries received after the maximum number of teams/athletes is bracketed, or if there are not enough teams or individuals to form a division.
-Entries of non-qualified entrants.
-Special circumstances determined on an individual basis by the Bay State Games staff
Any athlete removed from a team due to disciplinary reason(s) by a coach, official or Bay State Games representative will not receive any refund of entry or finalist fees.
NO REFUNDS WILL BE PERMITTED SIMPLY BECAUSE AN ATHLETE FAILS TO PARTICIPATE OR IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
NO REFUNDS FOR LOST OR STOLEN PASSES OR OTHER EVENT TICKETS.
DEFERRALS:
Event participants may defer their event entry fee to the following year for legitimate medical or medical emergency reasons if corroborated with documentation from a physician which includes producing a doctor's note verifying the illness or injury. Deferral requests will only be considered if received 6 weeks prior to the date of the competition. This deferral can only be used by the original registered athlete. The value of the deferral will be the amount originally paid by the participant to be in the Games less the credit card processing and late fees.
No deferrals or refunds will be granted if requested two weeks before the date of competition.
