My experience with the late fees...

I signed up for an event online, had the check to mail in my car...and there it stayed. I noticed it on my way to the office one day...and after the penalty day. I contacted the registrar and explained that I signed up, check stayed in my car and that I would drive it to the registrars house that night. I was told 'not necessary, just drop it in the mail to me'. I did so.

At the event, I found the registrar in T&S, brought some cookies and complimented the registrar on how great the entry process went in front of all of the registrars friends. I didn’t pay the late fee.


I withdrew from an event at the event. I don't know what the policy was other than I signed a form that said I wasn't on the track and I am bailing out while talking about my overheating sob story. The original check amount, less the worker donation, was sent to me. I didn't pay a late fee.

I suspect that attitude has a lot to do with it.
