Given the unique situation with COVID, it is important you are all aware that there is a risk the event could be cancelled or there may be government enforced travel restrictions which may affect your participation in the competition. This is a risk that you must be prepared to take as a player/parent. WA UWH will refund players where possible, but this will depend on the exact situation. WA UWH will not be responsible for incurring the cost if players are unable to attend. We understand that Qld is only incurring refundable expenses at this stage as well.
