COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions

EqEntries Refund Information
Because of the extremely high volume of show closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are working through thousands of entry refunds. We ask you for your patience through this.We are working as quickly as possible to get through them all, but it is taking up to 3 weeks from when we were officially alerted to a show closure to process refunds.
We are working through show refunds, in the order they were received, with a few exceptions due to fund availability in the refund account. Some of the time delay is due to backlog and some is due to bank timeframes for funds transfers. As a reminder, EqEntries 5% online fee is non-refundable.

FAQ
Is it faster for me to get my refund if I contact my credit card company?
Unfortunately, no. If you contest the charges with your credit card company it can take up to two months for the funds to be released. You will get a refund for your entry, and we are truly working as quickly as we possibly can.
Who should I talk to about my particular refund?
Please work directly with show management to get information on your particular refund. They can tell you if your refund is going to be coming from them or from EqEntries directly.
Are all shows cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic?
The EqEntries Calendar is generally up to date, but things are changing very quickly. If you want information about a particular show, please reach out directly to show management for that show as they will have the most up to date information. Shows that are accepting entries, may still have to cancel later as things progress with the pandemic. There is no way of knowing at this time.
How does this affect my scores towards USEF/USDF Championships?
Here is the statement from USEF March 16, 2020:
