Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

Prince William County Schools has final say over all weather related delays and closings. In the unlikely event that weather should cancel the use of the building and the event, information will be sent via email on the status of this tournament, including reshedule and/or refunds (If applicable).

In the event of a weather related delayed opening, the tournament will run but with a modified schedule. We understand that teams may not be able to alter their travel plans. Unfortunately, no refunds will be issued for no shows to a delayed start event. We will do all that is humanly possible to run a tournament with enough qualifying matches and a full elimination round and provide judging for awarded trophies.

Refund and Payment Policies

If the Event Partner cancels/postpones the event:

Due to the costs involved with this event, a refund of 20% will only be offered after all the event expenses have been taken care of.

If a Coach/Mentor completes registration for the event then chooses to withdraw or not attend:

There will be a full refund for a cancelling team when another team is able to take the open spot.

All teams will have to submit payment or have made arrangements by October 10th, 2024. If not paid for by that date, your team will be moved to the wait list to make room for other teams. Please contact us in case you are having an issue with payment.
