1. Event Cancellation by EVOLVE
EVOLVE reserves the sole right to cancel, postpone, reschedule, or modify any event due to, but not limited to, weather conditions, field or facility issues, safety concerns, governmental restrictions, or insufficient registrations.
If EVOLVE cancels an event prior to the start of play, teams may receive, at EVOLVE’s sole discretion:
A credit toward another EVOLVE event within the same season, or
A partial or full refund, if deemed appropriate
EVOLVE is not responsible for any external expenses including, but not limited to, travel, lodging, meals, uniforms, or equipment.
2. Team Withdrawal / Cancellation by Participant
All team withdrawals must be submitted in writing. Refunds and/or credits are determined solely by the date written notice is received by EVOLVE.
30 or more days prior to event start:
• 75% credit only toward another EVOLVE event within the same season, OR
• 50% cash refund
15–29 days prior to event start:

3. Exceptional Circumstances (Director Discretion)
In rare and fully documented circumstances only, EVOLVE may, at its sole discretion, issue a partial credit not to exceed 50%, provided that:
Written notice is received at least 72 hours prior to event start, and
A verifiable extraordinary circumstance is submitted
This is not guaranteed and is not a right.
All decisions made by the Tournament Director are final.
4. Failure to Pay / On-Site Payment Violations
Teams remain fully responsible for all registration fees regardless of payment method.
Teams that withdraw, fail to appear, or fail to pay outstanding balances may:
Be suspended from future EVOLVE events
Be required to prepay in full for all future registrations
Be denied scheduling or participation until balances are paid
5. No-Show Policy
Teams that fail to appear for scheduled games or withdraw without notice:
Forfeit all fees paid
Receive no refund or credit
May be barred from future EVOLVE events
If reinstated, the team will be required to submit a minimum 50% non-refundable deposit no later than 45 days prior to the next event.
6. Weather / Rainout Policy
EVOLVE reserves the right to modify schedules, game lengths, formats, locations, or brackets to complete events.
0 games played:
• Credit only, amount determined by EVOLVE
1 game played:
• No refund
• Possible partial credit at EVOLVE’s discretion
2 or more games played:
• No refund or credit
Weather delays, shortened games, altered formats, or schedule changes do not constitute grounds for refund or credit.
7. Divisions, Scheduling & Event Modifications
EVOLVE reserves the right to add, delete, merge, reclassify, or restructure divisions, schedules, and formats as necessary for competitive balance or operational reasons.
If a division is canceled, teams may be offered:

A season-restricted credit toward another EVOLVE event
Refunds are not guaranteed, and deposits remain non-refundable.
8. Schedule Requests & Start Times
Schedule requests are not guaranteed and must be submitted at registration.
Games may begin as early as 8:00 AM and conclude as late as 11:00 PM
Playoff and championship games may occur at any scheduled time
Schedule conflicts, travel issues, roster issues, or coaching conflicts are not grounds for refunds or credits
9. NO REFUNDS AFTER SCHEDULE RELEASE OR EVENT START
Once schedules are published or the event has begun:
NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS WILL BE ISSUED FOR ANY REASON
This includes, but is not limited to, weather, injuries, forfeits, travel issues, roster issues, or coaching conflicts.
10. Season-Restricted Credit Policy (Strict)
All credits issued by EVOLVE Sports Events are strictly limited to the same EVOLVE season in which the credit is earned.
An EVOLVE season is defined as August 1 through July 31
Credits may only be applied to EVOLVE events occurring within that same season
Credits expire automatically at the end of the season in which they are issued
Credits may not be rolled over, extended, reinstated, transferred, or applied to any future season
Credits have no cash value and may only be used by the originally registered team
Unused credits are forfeited without exception
By registering, teams expressly waive any claim to unused credits after the season in which the credit was issued.
11. Acceptance of Terms
Registration, payment, or participation in any EVOLVE Sports Events tournament constitutes full acceptance of this policy.
Failure to read or understand these terms does not exempt any participant from compliance.
