​

Deferrals – Unused 2020 Deferrals are Still good for full entry.

 

1. Use the coupon code you received last year during registration. All unused codes will still be active.

2. You can sell this coupon or give it to a friend if you like. We encourage this.

3. Once the coupon is used by whomever your name is off the books.

 

Remember: You CANNOT use your deferral coupon code after June 1st. Your code will still roll over to 2024 but you will need to pay in full and sign up if there are spots left for 2023. Why? There is no way to scale up infrastructure, staff, safety, permits, busses in time as would be required to host a safe world class event if we get hundreds of additional people showing up day of or registering a week before with the coupon code.

 The Gorge Downwind Champs is a private event and has the right to refuse anybody service as well as refund and remove any participant from the event for disorderly, unsafe or un-sportspersons like conduct at the event. Grievances can be filed against a participant to determine if the behavior was disorderly, unsafe or un-sportspersons like with the race director and will be decided by a ruling committee. Anybody removed from the event will at minimum be banned from the next year and potentially banned for life from entering the Gorge Downwind Champs or any race organized by the Gorge Downwind Champs team. 

​

The Gorge Downwind Champs is a NFP fund raiser and ran mostly by volunteers. Any issues with volunteers needs to be brought up with the race director and not directly with the volunteers.  Remember they are not getting paid and giving up their time to make your enjoyment possible. Any attempt to settle disputes or arguments directly with volunteers will likely result in removal from the event as well as future bans.  This includes engaging directly with our ruling committee regarding complaints or appeals, rude or disrespectful behavior towards volunteers  and not following volunteer instructions as related to the event.

Contact us via the Contact page to file complaints or appeals. Once contacted thru the website, we will send you out the necessary paperwork to proceed.
