Weather Cancellation Refund Policy
• Canceling the tournament is a last resort. An alternate date may be chosen to make it up due to weather
• If the tournament is canceled before a player's first main draw match, the player will receive a refund of $15 less than the entry fee.
• If the tournament is canceled before a player's second main draw match, the player will receive a refund of 1/2 the amount and $15 less than the entry fee paid.
• No refunds are issued once a player has begun their second main draw match--even if it is interrupted before completion. Additionally, no refunds are issued for players in the consolation/ 3/4 playoff bracket at the time of cancellation.
• We truly wish we could refund the full amount when the tournament is canceled before any matchplay, but approximately $15 of each payment is sent directly to the USTA and we cannot refund that portion on our end.
Positive spectator interactions and good sportsmanship will be enforced.
