O-Ringen

They're still hoping! I had this notification from them today:
we have reason to believe that the spread of infection will be low enough that O-Ringen can be held. Therefore, we follow society at large, we struggle on and keep the dream alive a little while longer.
There are currently 9000 competitors entered, though probably most of these are from the cancelled 2020 event. If this year's event is cancelled, then it will become the 2022 O-Ringen.

The 2021 O-Ringen in Uppsala has now been cancelled, or rather postponed to 2022!

At UK events we refund a large proportion of entry fees for cancelled or postponed events.

The Easter Event in Denmark was postponed from 2020 and then cancelled in 2021, entry fees moved across - fair enough. But after the cancellation asking for a refund of part of the entry fees did not seem to be accepted practice. eventually 50% was refunded.

The O-Ringen has a substantial entry fee and the 2020 fees have now been bumped forward to 2022. No option for a part refund with merely the option of doing 'a deal' with someone else and transferring your entry to them.

So are we just generous or are they tighter overseas for a good reason?
