Refund Information
Team Drops
In the event that your team needs to withdraw from the tournament, refunds will be handled as follows:
Notification after:
January 1 – 50% refund
January 15 – no refund
If your team drops from the event after the 50% refund deadline, in order to submit a bid to a future Without Limits event, you may be required to pay an extra $50 deposit. The $50 deposit will be returned to you at the end of the event.
Cancellation Due To COVID
If the event must be canceled due to COVID, you will receive at least a 75% refund. We promise to be fair and will refund as much of your bid fee as possible. Bid fees retained will be used to cover irrecoverable costs (e.g. fields, rentals, supplies).
Cancellation Due To Weather
The site has a good inclement weather policy, but in the event of cancellation due to severe weather conditions, we reserve the right to cover our upfront costs. Similar to above, we promise to be fair in our handling of refunds. However, due to the last minute nature of weather cancellations, we may have more irrecoverable costs than a COVID-related cancellation that takes place 1-2 weeks before the event.
⛈ Inclement Weather Policy
The site has an amazing inclement weather policy, but if cancellation occurs due to severe weather conditions, we reserve the right to keep some or all of your bid fee in order to cover our upfront costs.
Please note that our new inclement weather policy is designed to deliver the best overall experience to as many teams as possible.
In the event of inclement weather (excluding extreme conditions such as snow or lightning), we will have four turf fields available at Smith River. We have also researched a number of other turf sites within a 3 hour radius. Given the number of other spring sports leagues and tournaments, turf availability at other sites is very limited. Although availability is unlikely, possible backups sites are located in Advance, NC; Greensboro, NC; and the Triangle (Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh), NC.
The first 16 women’s teams and 8 men’s teams to register and confirm their spots with payment will be given preference in inclement weather scheduling. If only Smith River turf is available, we will accommodate these teams first. If additional fields become available (i.e. some Smith River grass fields remain open or there is availability at other turf sites), we will accommodate more teams based on the order of registration, with consideration given to timely responses to inclement weather communication.
Please note:
- If a split site is implemented, teams may be split based on a number of different factors, including tier and/or gender division.
- Make sure that your team is prepared to travel independently. Teams from the same school may not be placed at the same site (e.g. A and B teams; women’s and men’s teams).
- Take note of your hotel’s cancellation policy. Many hotels allow cancellation up to 48 hours before check-in and you may want to factor this into your booking decision.
- Tiers may be combined or teams may be moved between tiers.
- We will communicate proactively with teams. Please be prepared to respond to emails and texts in a timely manner.
In the event of extreme inclement weather, the event will be cancelled. Player safety is our priority.
😷 COVID Safety Protocols
