Emergency information

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

Prince William County Schools has final say over all weather related delays and closings. Please see Refund Policy for additional details.

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.

Additional information about site evacuation and medical will be sent out 2 weeks prior to the event.

Refund policy

Refund and Payment Policies

If the Event Partner cancels/postpones the event: 

  • In the unlikely event that weather should cancel the use of the building and the event, refunds will not be issued.  
  • If the event is postponed, requests for refunds will not be honored. See Emergency Policy for details.

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

  • There will be no refund for a cancelling team unless another team is able to take the open spot. Due to the nature of school accounting, the refunds may take 6 to 8 weeks to process and mailed to the teams official financial contact address.  Again, all refunds are subject to Prince William County School Vendor guidelines.  You may be required to submit addition paperwork.

All teams will have to submit payment or have made arrangements by February 6, 2026.  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.
