Some fests have an earlier no-fault dropout deadline, and then impose a penalty if you wait right up 'til deadline to drop out. I think that's fair. Technically I have an early dropout deadline for SSR Confidential, but it's mostly there as a fallback rule in case people waiting up until the deadline to default becomes a problem. (I mean, if there's a couple I'm not gonna be a hard case about it, as was the case last year, but if half the participants start doing it, then, yeah.)
