## Plan for changes to in-person events

The organizers acknowledged economic and fuel constraints and the restrictions public institutions may face around weekend gatherings. If a government mandate prevents the campus final, the stated contingency is to move the entire competition online, using a one-week buffer to make the change. [The briefing discusses local logistics](https://youtu.be/kO-dMGd8CAM?t=801), [possible restrictions on campus events](https://youtu.be/kO-dMGd8CAM?t=825), and [the online contingency plan](https://youtu.be/kO-dMGd8CAM?t=856).

## Refund if the event cannot run

The organizers also stated that entry fees would be fully refunded if a major global or domestic crisis made it impossible to run the event in any format. [The refund guarantee](https://youtu.be/kO-dMGd8CAM?t=3316) is included in the session.
