Should the committee or the Judge deem conditions are unsafe to run or continue the test, no refund of entry fees will be made.  No entry fee will be refunded if the trial cannot be held by reasons of riot, civil disturbance, fire, an act of God, public emergency or any other cause beyond the control of the test committee.
