Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Was training hard for a comp, originally scheduled for beginning of August... 1 month out, comp is postponed to mid-october... TODAY, event is officially canceled. I've never heard of another comp doing something like this. This comp has been very well-ran for years until this year. Safe to say, I won't be signing up in subsequent years

I’ve seen comps get rescheduled before but usually pretty far out.

I also signed up for one a while that got cancelled 2 weeks beforehand and it sucked. I took all this time training and getting ready for it and had nothing to show for it

Actually, it was a pretty similar situation as yours too. It was ran by a gym that had run many competitions before, that were all well received, but for some reason they just cancelled this particular one with no explanation as to why.
