Participation cards
Who need a participation card?
Each player and leader who should participate in a match, also as coach, should have any of the participation cards we offer.
Why should teams that don't order food, accomodation nor disco have participation cards?
Tournaments that don't request participation cards for all participants usually have a considerably higher application fee for teams that don't order participation cards. Our application fee is the same for all teams. The idea behind this is that the total cost for the team is based on the number of participants. A team with just about 8-9 players thus don't have to pay as much as a team with 14 players. We consider this most fair.
How do I order participation cards?
Log in to your team account and select "Order participation cards and special food".
If you have selected accommodation in schools, please make preliminary reservation on the number of participation cards as soon as possible after your application. This facilitates our planning of the accommodations.
The reservations may be altered until 1:st of March without any extra cost.
Note that transportation by the tournament buses is ordered as an addition to the cards.
When shoud the participation cards be ordered and payed?
Ordering and payment of the participation cards should be made not later than 1:st of March.
If ordered or payed later than this a higher fee is charged.
Can we change the number of participation cards?
Yes, the number of participation cards may be changed (up or down) until 1:st of March. Single cards may, in case of availability be ordered later but to a slightly higher price. The reservation function is closed 1:st of March but you can contact the organizer via phone, mail through the team account or mail to info@irstablixten.se.
What if we need to cancel a participation card after 1:st of March?
For participation cards canceled 2-20 March a cancellation fee is kept from the refund. Refer to Participation fees for information regarding for the fee. For cancellations after 20:th of March the total fee is kept. Refund will be made after the tournament.
Is the cancellation fee kept also upon sickness or injury?
No, the total fee is refunded provided a medical certificate is provided to the organizer. For participation cards B (hotel) we might however have to keep hotels cancellation fee.
What if we need to cancel our participation in the tournament?
The registration is binding and the registration fee is thus not refunded in case of cancellation.
Teams that cancels after the team groups are published on irstablixten.se (1-2 weeks after the registration is closed) is, in addition to payed registration fee, also charged a cancellation fee of 1000 SEK. After 1:st of March the cancellation fee is 2000 SEK.
Teams that leave during the tournament are charged a fee of 1000 SEK per unplayed match, and minimum 2000 SEK.
In most tournaments bus transportation is included in the participation cards. Why is this an additional fee in Irstablixten?
We have chosen this solution mainly for two reasons:
1) It facilitates our planning of the bus services if we know which teams that will actually utilize the service. Some accommodations may thus be "non bus" accommodations.
2) The income from the bus additional fees does not cover our costs for the buses. These costs are thus partly covered by other incomes. Without the additional fee all types of participation cards would have a higher fee and we consider it fair that teams having arranged their own transportation don't have to partly pay the bus costs. We have tried to adapt the bus fee to the fees charged by the local bus company if utilized each tournament day.
