Refund and Payment Policies

There will be no refunds unless the tournament is cancelled.  In the event that a registered team is unable to attend,  the Tournament Director, Nadine Amaya, has the ability to discuss a possible refund if a replacement team can be found to take the spot of that team   This would strictly be on a case-by-case basis and isn't a guarantee.
