Refund Policy and Cancellations at the Midwest Youth Cup

The Midwest Youth Cup does not issue refunds after a team is accepted into the tournament. If the tournament itself is canceled, 50 percent of the entry fee is retained for administrative costs and the balance is returned.

Key facts

• No refunds once a team is accepted.
• If the tournament is canceled, 50 percent is retained for administrative costs.
• Weather does not change the policy, since turf fields rarely cancel play.
• Confirm your commitment before accepting a place.

No refunds after acceptance

Once a team is accepted into the Midwest Youth Cup, the entry fee is non-refundable. Acceptance is a commitment, so confirm your roster and your club's plans before you accept a place. Direct any question about your entry to the Tournament Director before committing.

If the tournament is canceled

If the tournament is canceled, 50 percent of the entry fee is retained to cover administrative costs already incurred, and the remaining 50 percent is returned. This applies only to a cancellation of the tournament itself.

Weather and the schedule

All matches are scheduled on artificial turf, so weather rarely cancels play. Stoppages may occur for lightning, thunder, or extreme conditions, but weather stoppages do not change the refund policy. A game stopped after halftime due to weather is considered final.

Questions about payment

Send any question about fees, acceptance, or cancellations to Gabe Billings, the Tournament Director, at gabebillings@ymail.com. Confirm details before you accept a place, since the policy is firm once acceptance is complete.
