Cancellations & refunds We acknowledge that once our team's registration fee has been paid that there will be no refunds offered. In the unforeseeable event that my team has to withdraw from the competition I agree that it is my responsibility to exchange the registration fee with another team that may wish to enter as a replacement for that spot. In the event Gladiatrix 2025 cannot go ahead due to events outside The Arena's control, a reserve backup date will be announced. If the second date cannot go ahead, refunds will be processed, minus any costs incurred for the cancelled event and preparations. Sportsmanship In registering for this competition, my team will compete and conduct ourselves throughout this event with integrity & sportsmanship.
