USA: Regional Contest Entry w/ Drop Outs

Yeah.. sounds like the answer may be full contest fee payments and a
higher late entry surcharge.


Marc,

Awfully harsh response. *Yes you may run contest with that number if
you are planning for it, but with last minutes drop outs it can hurt
financially.

Most sites have to bring in tow planes and pilots which means ferry
costs and hotels.

There are dinner reservations with minimums, helping cover your staff
expenses, etc, etc, etc.

Unless you are willing to make up the difference out of your pocket
what do you do?

I think we need higher deposits and longer lead time for when you can
withdraw.
