That said I had to stop an event after 8 of ~115km because we depleted our ALS ambulance resources after an accident on the second stage. The event had the same costs to put on so we couldn't afford to refund the entry fees. There was still a winner, we still had a banquet, posted scores and gave out hardware. A slight difference, I think, is that events in Canada are organised by not-for-profit clubs. To be able to absorb the costs of an event that is cut short for any reason the club would have to artificially increase the entry fees of the rest of the events they hold to build a reserve fund. (perfectly legit for a not-for-profit btw) THAT means increasing entry fees, which is a bad thing. Today we run a $450 entry fee, 20 car regional and come out ~$400 in the black if we don't compensate volunteers (route master, course cars, etc.) for fuel or other minor expenses.
