Refund Policy
We understand that circumstances may arise that could prevent participants from attending our soccer tournament. To ensure clarity and fairness, we have established a refund policy. The following processes will be followed regarding any refunds and which circumstances allow for refunds:
Team Withdrawl
Teams withdrawing from the tournament BEFORE the registration deadline will receive a 100% refund of their registration fees. If a team withdraws from the event AFTER tournament brackets have been released, they will not receive a refund.
Weather-Related Refund Policy
- 80% refund – The event is canceled entirely due to weather or any other external forces.
- 60% refund – If only 1 game is played of the 3 guaranteed games.
- 30% refund – If only 2 games are played of the 3 guaranteed games.
- 0% refund – If all guaranteed games have been played.
Force Majeure Clause
In the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as natural disasters, government restrictions, or other force majeure events, that result in the cancellation of the tournament or prevent a team’s participation, the organizers reserve the right to determine the refund policy on a case-by-case basis.
Medical Withdrawls
In the case of a team withdrawal due to medical reasons, a written medical certificate or note from a licensed healthcare professional must be provided to be considered for a refund. The organizers will determine the refund amount based on the circumstances.
Non-Refundable Circumstances
For a tournament in progress (dates of the planned event), in the event of rain, snow, or acts of God, the tournament director can reduce game lengths or call matches at/past halftime as final scores. No refunds will be given if any of the following criteria are met:
- Late Withdrawl: A team withdraws after tournament brackets have been released.
- Forfeits: A team decides to forfeit a game, giving them less than the guaranteed minimum of played games.
- Incomplete Teams: If a team is unable to participate due to an insufficient number of players or other team-related issues, no refund will be issued.
- Disqualification: Any team that is disqualified from a tournament due to rule violations, unsportsmanlike conduct, or other breaches of rules forfeits their right to a refund.
- Refund Request Beyond Designated Period: Refund requests submitted within the designated 30-day window outlined in the tournament refund policy may not be honored. Adherence to deadlines is crucial for the efficient and fair administration of refund processes.
