Refund Policy ​
​​​
-
All teams will pay a $400 Non-Refundable Application Fee and Deposit for all D1Vision showcases. This deposit is non-refundable regardless of withdrawal from or cancellation of events and is not eligible to be refunded.
-
No refunds shall be issued after April 15th, 2024.​
-
In the event a team does not have the oppurtunity to complete 1 full game for a 5 game guarantee due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances as described above, a partial refund will be issued or credit offered to apply towards a D1Vision Event within one year. D1Vision Events will determine the refund or credit amount based on incurred event expenses of events and percentage of games not completed.​
-
In the event the entire tournament is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to natural disasters, severe weather events, epidemics, quarantine, war, or Acts of God, D1Vision Events will evaluate incurred expenses up to the date of cancellation to determine the percentage refund allotted to each team. There will be two options that teams may select (1) a full percentage refund determined by the Director or (2) a ONE TIME percentage credit towards a future D1Vision Event within one year. For teams selecting Option (2), the Director, at her discretion, may opt to provide a higher percentage as incentive for future participation in D1Vision Events.
-
Terms of Play: By accepting a bid into a D1Vision Event, you are agreeing that your team and accepted teams from your organization will participate only in that event from its start to finish over the specified dates. Should your team or organization choose to participate in other related showcases or tournaments during this time, you will forfeit all remaining games as well as the full showcase fee. Your team and organization will be banned from participation in future Showcases and/or Tournaments hosted by D1Vision Event Management and partner organizations.
Please Note: The success of D1Vision Events for its participants requires months of administrative planning, securing fields and staffing, renting and purchasing supplies along with other associated costs in preparation. These expenses are incurred regardless of extenuating circumstances.
​
Therefore, it is necessary to have these refund policies in place.​
