If the Event Partner cancels the event: 

             refunds will be given unless other circumstances apply.

If a Coach/Mentor completes registration for the event then chooses to withdraw or not attend:

              This is case by case, but in general:             

                           If your registration prevented someone else from registering, you may not receive a refund.

                           If a team is able to take your place, you will probably get a refund.

                           If it is an emergency or weather prevents you from coming, you will probably get a refund.
