In the case of a full cancellation, we will provide a refund minus the amount we are obligated to pay our RECF.

Refund and Payment Policies

If we have bad weather or a COVID-19 policy, that causes the event to be cancelled, we will refund teams minus the amount we are obligated to pay RECF.

Also, if a policy for Covid changes to the point your team's families are uncomfortable with the students attending or there is a sudden Covid issue affecting your team where they cannot participate, again we will refund the team minus the amount we must pay RECF.

Because this location is part of Baltimore City School system, closings will follow the Baltimore City Schools policies and procedures.
