I disagree. The way I see it, they stole $20 by crafting a completely one-sided contract designed to prevent reasonable people from participating in the event, and then foisted it upon participants at the last minute.

Surely that was bad behavior on their part. The question is how to prevent this type of behavior in the future? I think the OP achieved more to this end by making bad behavior public than by mitigating his personal damage. Maybe it is false dichotomy but maybe not (the reason for these contracts is organizing entity trying to cover its ass).
