Race Entries
Where possible please enter online, using the Snowsport England Race Entry System: Click www.britski.org/online.htm Bank charges are much lower if you pay by Debit Card, rather than by Credit Card. Please pay by Debit Card if possible, so that we can apply more of your entry fees towards the cost of running the races.
Postal Entries: Please complete page numbers 8, 9 & 10, and return, along with the correct remittance and before the closing date to: Ros Humphrey (Race Secretary), Puffins, Lower Station Road, Newick, East Sussex BN8 4HU.

Acceptance
The Organising Committee will assess all entries and accept those from racers deemed to be of an appropriate standard. In the event of non-acceptance for any reason, the competitor has the right to appeal in writing to the Organising Committee, prior to the start of the competition. Should more than the maximum number of entries considered appropriate be received, racers will be accepted in seed point order. Every effort will be made to contact those who have not been accepted; however the Organising Committee accepts no responsibility in the event that contact cannot be made for any reason. A provisional list of British Entries will be posted by Monday 28th March 2011.
Late Entries
Late entries after Monday 21st March 2011 within the qualifying standards will be accepted only in very exceptional circumstances and upon payment of double the entry fee. No guarantees can be made regarding the chances of a late acceptance and any hopeful competitor travelling to the resort before acceptance does so at his/her own risk of incurring any expense should he/she not be accepted for the Championships.
Entry Fees
Competitors must be aware that the Organising Committee incurs substantial financial liabilities in organising these events and entry fees are unlikely to be returned if the event is cancelled. The jury will consider possible refunds, or part refunds, if a competitor is ill / injured before the first team captains’ meeting of the competition. No refunds will be made in resort. Such requests must be accompanied by a relevant medical certificate.
