Emergency information

The Event Partner will always consider the health and safety of teams when deciding to hold an event should bad weather become an issue.  The event will only be canceled for large scale emergencies (a hurricane) or if the school district is closed.

Refund policy

If the Event Partner cancels the event: 

We will only cancel the event due to an emergency or severe weather. We will provide a full refund as possible in this extremely unlikely event. 

If a Coach/Mentor completes registration and then chooses to withdraw or not attend:

Once a team has paid for the event, no refund will be given. Teams who do not pay by the payment deadline will be moved to the waitlist and potentially lose their spot. If special arrangements are made for a team to remain registered for the event after the payment deadline, teams will still be expected to pay in full regardless of whether or not that team attends as we will be unlikely to fill the spot on short notice.
