• Refund Policy:
  A 24-hour prior (9:00 AM) cancellation notice is required to be eligible for a refund.

  All events feature pool play followed by a single elimination bracket.
  Pools will be formed based on the number of teams registered per division.
  The number of teams advancing to bracket play will vary by event, but each team is guaranteed a minimum of 4 games.

• Spectator Conduct:
  All players and spectators must review the Rules Summary.
  Please note that spectators are not allowed to coach during rallies. This includes shouting instructions such as "in," "out," or "over."
