CANCELED EVENTS / BRACKETS REFUND POLICY:

An age group / bracket will be held as long as there are at least three (3) paid teams. In the event that an age bracket has less than the minimum three (3) teams required, ECTB will offer the following options:

1. Teams in a bracket that does not meet minimum required teams will be offered the option to play up an age
group (i.e. 13u play up in the 14u bracket). These teams will be given a deadline to notify ECTB of their
decision to play up.
a. If there is a difference in the entry fee, the team will be required to pay the difference if they opt to
play up.
b. Once a team notifies ECTB of their intent to participate in the next age up age group, they will be
considered locked into that event. If the team changes their mind and decides to withdraw after
informing ECTB that they will play up, they will be subject to the refund policy outlined in Section
B1 – Withdrawing from Event Refund Policy.
2. Teams in a bracket that does not meet minimum required teams that do NOT wish to play up an age bracket
will be issued a VOUCHER. The Voucher can be accessed by the team logging on the website with their
username and password. The Voucher will be issued at the full amount of the entry fee originally paid and
can be transferred at full entry fee value to a future OFFICIAL event of equal or greater value. If the event
the Voucher is being applied towards has a higher entry fee, the team is required to pay the balance due
and will not be marked paid (secured the spot) until the balance is paid.
3. Only teams that are in the bracket that did not reach minimum team requirement have the option to withdraw
from the event without penalty of entry fee if the age bracket is cancelled within the thirty (30) day
cancellation policy.
This means that teams in the age bracket up do not have the option to back out within thirty (30) days
(without penalty) because they don’t want to participate against younger teams. (i.e. 13u bracket canceled,
two (2) teams from 13u bracket opt to play up in the 14u bracket. Teams originally in the 14u bracket do not
have the right to withdraw without penalty because they don’t want to play against two (2) 13u teams.)
4. Sanctioned Events – Option #1 (TEAL events): Host is responsible to credit teams when a bracket is
canceled due to lack of teams.
