GENERAL INFORMATION

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

of 15


Track Provincial’s waitlist is defined as individuals who express an interest to register for events within

the 2018 Track Provincial Championships, after the determined registration deadline has passed and/or in the event a category reaches capacity prior to the determined registration deadline.

Individuals who wish to be placed on the waitlist must contact the OCA office via email or phone ([email protected] or 416-855-1717) to be added to the event waiting list.

Securing a spot on the waitlist does not guarantee you a spot at Track Provincials within any event. The only way to truly guarantee a spot is to register early.

To be added to the waitlist individuals must provide their name, category, contact information, events they wish to participate within, and credit card information. A credit card must be provided to maintain your spot on the waitlist. No payment will be processed until a spot within Track Provincials is secured and confirmed.

All waitlist individuals are prioritized by the date and time once submitted via email or phone to the OCA office. Waitlist order will be maintained by the OCA Events Department.

Should it become necessary to add participants from the waitlist, it will be done so based on the event category that has the opening. For example, should a spot open up within the Elite Men category of the Keirin, the highest Elite Male on the waitlist who expressed interest in the Keirin will be offered the spot.

Should an individual on the waitlist be contacted regarding an opening, the individual will have a maximum of two (2) hours to respond, before the opening will be offered to the next individual on the waitlist.

Any openings within categories/events received after 5:00 PM on Thursday, March 1st, will no longer be filled.

REFUND POLICY

A rider must withdraw prior to the end of registration in order to be eligible to receive a refund.
