My Child No Longer Wants to Compete. What Do I Do?
If your registration is cancelled before the deadline (which is about a week before the competition), then you are normally refunded 75% of your registration fee. (50% is normal for the UK Championship.) Each competition will set out the cut off date for the partial refund.
To drop out, all you need to do is send the organisers an email, by using the contact link on the competition webpage on the WCA1 website.
If your child changes their mind after this date (which in our experience is very common) then don’t worry about being a “no show.” We understand. It is not possible to get a refund after the cancellation deadline however (see If You Can’t Go to the Competition, What Happens?)
