From the Fee page of the WFO6 website:
We have had a few requests for Rally Fee refunds for various reasons in the last few weeks. As much as we'd like to oblige these requests, it is simply not possible to do so. Keep in mind that we have already committed a goodly amount of the paid fees and resources as deposits on services, shirts, logistics, and so on. To try and unwind the detail for refunds is a huge PIA at this time (or any, really) for us to do so.
This is a non-profit event and as such, our budget scrapes the bone as is. We have no - zero, zilch, nada - wiggle room should additional, unforeseen expenses be incurred. This is all based on our budget forecast of the number of attendees rolled up from previous WFO's. Expecting refunds potentially puts the burden of contractual obligations of monetary shortages directly on the shoulders of the Staff's personal checkbooks - not a desirous result by any means. We (the Volunteer Event Staff) also have full time jobs and families with which we would like to spend some time with outside of planning, promoting and administering this event.
So, I ask you; if you've committed funds to join us at The FJR Event of the Year, then please do so. If you paid and can't make it, be secure in knowing that you still made it possible for others to enjoy the show to its fullest. That's good juju that will come back at you in other ways.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
