SWDRC Team Contribution Policy
Once a team place is confirmed team contributions should be paid by the date requested by the team manager. Team contributions not paid on time may be liable to an increased late entry charge. SWDRC reserve the right to prohibit anyone with any outstanding fees owed to the club from participating in future Team events or attending Clinics.

SWDRC Team Withdrawal Policy
Once a member has received confirmation of a team place from a team manager, we are unable to refund any team contributions paid under any circumstances, and any unpaid fees must still be paid. SWDRC reserve the right to prohibit anyone with any outstanding fees owed to the club from participating in future Team events or attending Clinics.

SWDRC Team Championship Policy
Should a team qualify for a National Championship, SWDRC reserve the right to withdraw and/or replace any original team member for the Championships whose performance at Area level was below that which is required to compete at National level.

SWDRC Team Championship Entry Fee Policy
Should a team/individual qualify for a National Championship, SWDRC will endeavour to pay the Championship entry fees. However, due to the unprecedented success of the club’s teams in recent years this arrangement may be subject to review and team members may be asked to make a small contribution towards Championship entry fees to ensure teams remain financially viable for the club. Competitors receiving ‘wildcard’ invitations to Championships may be asked to pay the full Championship entry fee.
