Our Policies

STAY & PLAY POLICY
We work closely with Pellucid Travel and Athletes Hospitality to not only source the best venues but contract with a variety of hotels to fit all accommodations. We request to work with a wide variety of lodging partners in order to also secure excellent rates for all of our teams. In order to achieve this, we have a Stay to Play policy so that the hotels, cities, and counties are assured that the discounts they offer are used. We work closely with our lodging partners to track team reservations and the stay to play policy as well as ensure that there are enough rooms for all teams attending the event.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at sydney@ml8events.com. We will make sure that your teams are taken care of and in the best fit.
REFUND POLICY

By registering for any ML8 Events tournament, showcase, camp, clinic, or other event, the participant and/or parent/guardian acknowledges and agrees to the following Refund Policy.

ALL REGISTRATIONS ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED FOR ANY REASON.

ML8 Events incurs substantial non-refundable expenses well in advance of each event, including but not limited to field rentals, officials, staffing, coaches, directors, athletic trainers, insurance, uniforms, awards, equipment, vendors, technology, and administrative costs. As a result, all registration fees are non-refundable.

No refunds, credits, or transfers will be provided for, including but not limited to:

  • Participant or team withdrawal for any reason.
  • Schedule conflicts.
  • Injury, illness, or medical conditions.
  • College commitments or changes in recruiting status.
  • Weather delays, shortened games, canceled games, or canceled playoff/championship games.
  • Venue changes.
  • Team forfeits, no-shows, or insufficient roster size.
  • Travel interruptions or transportation issues.
  • Pandemics, public health concerns, government restrictions, acts of God, or other force majeure events.
  • Age eligibility disputes, disciplinary removals, or any other circumstance beyond the control of ML8 Events.

ML8 Events will make every reasonable effort to conduct each event as scheduled, including modifying schedules, formats, venues, or event structures when necessary due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Such modifications shall not entitle any participant or team to a refund, credit, or transfer.

Registration fees are non-transferable to another participant or future event unless expressly approved in writing by ML8 Events.

ML8 Events reserves the sole and absolute right, but is under no obligation, to issue a refund, partial refund, event credit, or registration transfer in extraordinary circumstances. Any exception made by ML8 Events shall be entirely at its sole discretion and shall not constitute a waiver of this Refund Policy or establish a precedent for any future request.

By completing registration, the participant and/or parent/guardian acknowledges that they have read, understand, and agree to this Refund Policy.

WEATHER POLICY

In the event of adverse weather or unplayable field conditions, the Events Director reserves the right to:

  • Reduce game times in order to catch up with the schedule.
  • Finish game before inclement weather arrives, or to preserve field conditions
  • Reschedule games, if possible.
  • Create an alternate event schedule (if weather/field condition allows for it)
  • Start an event later than originally scheduled (if weather/field condition allows for it)
  • Convert tournament to a “festival” format (reduction of minimum game number) without playoffs or championships to provide the majority of teams the opportunity to play as many games as possible.

Every attempt will be made to update cancellations on the website.  However, the weather conditions can change rapidly and all teams should be prepared to play as soon as weather clears and fields are playable.

If lightning is observed at any location, play will be suspended immediately.  If it is the second half, the game will be considered final and the score at that point will be recorded.  If it is the first half, when play resumes it will be the start of the second half.  Every attempt will be made to begin subsequent games on times.  If the start of the second half suspended game delays the onset of the subsequent game the following actions will occur:

  • The game suspended will play one 20 minute running half
  • Subsequent games will begin immediately after proceeding games (teams will warm up on the sideline prior).  These games will consist of two 20 minute running halves until games are back on schedule.
  • Once games are back on schedule they will revert to two 25 minute running time periods.
  • We will make every attempt to play every minute of every game but the safety of players and all tournament attendees comes first!
  • No refunds will be granted if these actions are necessary after the start of the tournament. Facility owners, not tournament organizers, have final say on whether the tournament will take place due to weather and field conditions.
  • In the event the event is cancelled prior to the start of the event due to weather, a partial refund may be issued.  Final determination of refund amount will be on an event by event basis.  All events have fixed expenses related to field rental & facilities, set-up costs, insurance, personnel and other matters regardless of cancellation due to weather.  Accordingly, no teams will receive full refunds of the registration fee if the tournament is cancelled.
