A 4.1 Financing Sports Meetings
Each organiser of a sports meeting must aim to keep the expenses for each participant as low as possible by choosing adequate accommodation and arranging the programme to enable as many athletes as possible to participate.
The costs resulting from the organisation and execution of sports meetings will be paid by the participants in form of a registration fee.
A pre-payment of €50 per person of the registration fee should be paid in advance to the organisers of a sports meeting.
The organiser is under no obligation to refund the pre-payment if a research institute cancels its participation after having paid the registration fee pre-payment.
A detailed financial report is to be made and presented at the following Annual Conference of the Delegates.
Organisers are not allowed to make a profit from sports meetings. If a surplus from participants' contributions remains at the end of a sports meeting, this money may be paid to ASCERI. It is not permitted to pay the surplus, or part of it, to the organisers.
If a surplus from sponsorship by the host centre or its sports association remains at the end of a sports meeting, this money will not be returned to ASCERI but to the host centre or its sports association.
Where there is a disagreement a decision will be taken at the following Annual Conference.
