Emergency/Bad Weather Policy
Teams will be notified as early as possible if it is determined that bad weather will cause a change in event-day plans. In the event of a cancellation, every effort will be made to reschedule for a later date. If teams are not able to attend the rescheduled date, entry fee refunds will be issued.
Refund and Payment Policies
If the Event Partner cancels the event:
Refunds will not be issued unless the event is rescheduled because of a weather-related event. In that case, refunds will be issued to teams that are unable to attend the new (rescheduled) date.
If a Coach/Mentor completes registration for the event, then chooses to withdraw or not attend:
No refunds will be given unless there is a team on the waitlist that can attend in the withdrawing teams place. In the event there is a team from the waitlist that can replace the withdrawing team, a refund will be given less the $5 that the REC must keep to cover their processing fees. For example, a refund of $35 would be given for an event that costs $40. If you have any questions about this policy, please reach out to the event partner.
