Teams can transfer or sell their entry to another team if available. This will be a transaction between the teams, and the event organisers will not facilitate putting teams in touch with each other. Teams must notify organisers as soon as possible if a team entry is transferred or sold.

If the race is cancelled due to acts of God, natural disasters, terrorism or other reasons etc., the race will not be rescheduled. Organisers will make a maximal effort to refund as much of the entry fee as possible to all teams. Teams should be aware that any refunds will be made after spent event costs are accounted for. Considering the high fixed costs associated with organising the race, teams should also know that any refund will likely be minimal.
