Refund Request and Reregistering for Different Division

[jenb]

I'm presently registered to play Rec at an all ladies tournament, but I signed up before they posted any registrations online. Now that they have posted the registrations, I can see that the other ladies are all playing up quite a bit. My rating would fit in fine in the Intermediate, Advanced Master's, and even Master's divisions, so I would like to change divisions. I contacted the tournament director about it yesterday or the day before, I forget which, to see if I would be allowed to move up at sign in, or if I need to request a refund and reregister, but haven't heard back yet. If I don't request the refund in the next day or two, I'll be within the two week period where I can't get a full refund automatically, so I'm trying to figure out what to do.

I'm wondering if anyone else here has ever requested a refund and tried to reregister and found any problems doing that. For example, if you request a refund and then try to register for another division before being removed from the registration list, is there a problem created in the software or the like because the rules prohibit people from registering for two divisions in the same tournament?

I'd say to just hang in there and trust that the TD will get back to you before the tourney, or be prepared to take care of it the morning-of. There is a bit of last-minute shuffling and registration at most tournaments, shouldn't be a big deal.

Switching divisions day of is typically not a big deal. I definitely wouldn't go through the headache of requesting a refund and re-signing up.
