I will send out an email the night before if there is inclimate weather. Refunds will be made only in the event that the tournament in cancelled. Refunds will come within 2 to 3 months, depending on Central Office being open and holiday schedules.

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.
