ENTRY INFO

​Entries officially open on Thursday 22th February at 3pm AEDT Time (UTC +11:00) and will close on the 18th of August 2024.

 

All teams are encouraged to be proactive and get their entries in as efficiently as possible.

On the 3pm on 22/2/24 a Button will appear on the Enter Now page which will facilitate entry to ExpeditionAR Chapter 2.

ENTRY PROCEDURE & POLICY


To enter the event, one person per team (the ‘Team Administrator’) needs to complete the registration form via the Eventplus Entry platform. 

Teams do not need a complete team of four to enter- additional team members can be added later. 

 A team code will be created and can be shared with team members to join the team, also using the Eventplus Entry platform. 

After the initial $1999 deposit paid during the entry process, following payments will be made when due via invoices sent to the team Administrator. 

Overseas teams can also enter using the same process as local teams. 

The Early Entry Discount ceases at midnight AEDT Time, Sunday 21st April 2024. To qualify for this discount the entire entry fee must be paid.

 

After this time the Standard Entry Fee will apply regardless of the date the deposit was paid. The organisation reserves the right to change entry details, team limits and to cancel any entry.

CANCELLATION, REFUNDS, PRIZE MONEY

Teams may officially cancel their entry at any stage prior to the event by writing, calling or emailing the race organisers.

 

The deposit that secures your entry is not refundable at any stage. Cancellation of a team entry after 30th June 2024, will be refunded 50% of any monies paid over and above the deposit. Cancellations of team entry after 30th August 2024, teams will not be refunded any monies.

Teams are not permitted to transfer their deposit or any other fees paid to future editions of ExpeditionAR if they are not able to make Chapter 2.

Teams are permitted to transfer or sell their current entry for Chapter 2 to another team if available. This will be a transaction between the teams and the event organisers will not, in general, facilitate putting teams in touch with each other. The team administrator must notify the organisation at rob @thoughtsports.com.au if an entry has been transferred or sold.

If two teams do not have sufficient members and decide to join together, this will be strictly considered as one team cancelling their entry. Refund policy will be as stated above, no exceptions.

Teams are permitted to exchange their entry between the PURE and PURSUIT events, if sufficient space exists and the respective new event is not already full. Any variations in entry fees must be settled within 2 weeks of the change making place. All other conditions regarding refunds remain the same after a category change.

If any member of a team is deemed not competent enough to undertake the event whilst participating, the whole team will be disqualified and NO refund will be given. Details of expected competencies are be promulgated on this web site and in the Newsletters. However, it is a pre-requisite of entry that every competitor and team enters the event with their eyes wide open and that they have investigated the likely scenarios they will face during the race.

If the race is cancelled due to acts of god, natural disasters, terrorism or other reasons etc, the organisers will make every effort to refund as much of the entry fee as possible to all teams. However, all teams should be aware that any refunds will be made after event costs have been taken into consideration. Given the high number of fixed costs associated with organising the race, teams should understand that any refund is likely to be minimal. The race is unlikely to be re-scheduled unless some form of support can be found (eg, Government financial assistance).

Prize money, if allocated, will be paid in Australian Dollars. Any tax payable on prize money is the responsibility of the team receiving the award. The overall prize pool will likely be a combination of prize money and prize product provided by event partners. Prize money is dependent on a certain number of paying teams entering the event and on the basis that ExpeditionAR is not impacted by outside events such as Covid-19, acts of god, or any other significant factor that interrupts the usual smooth running of a Chapter. Teams must complete the Full Course in the allowed time to qualify for the prize pool.
