When registered for an event it is only possible to change to another event or to obtain a refund if we are provided with 7 days notice of your intentions, and then it is at the discretion of management.

8. Please note that your match selections are entered into our system by the event facilitator after the event. We are aware how important it is that participants' privacy is respected and that their contact information remains confidential. All Ditch or Date hosts are under instructions to double check all match data before completing the data entry process, and are aware that entering match data incorrectly is cause for instant dismissal. However, very rarely it is possible that a mistake is made when entering match data. This can either be due to the participant's intentions being difficult to discern due to illegible handwriting on the match card, or simple human error. It is therefore a condition of attending a Ditch or Date event that you agree to hold Ditch or Date harmless in the unlikely event that your contact information is passed to a person you did not select at an event.
