The Rules/Refund Policy

TOURNAMENT RULES & INFORMATION

PremierEventsUSA strives to provide each team/participant with a fair tournament/event. All who register for a PEUSA event should read through the appropriate rules pages below and the rules of each events sanctioning body in order to gain a full understanding of all rules and procedures prior to the start of any tournament. If you have any questions, please contact us or locate your park director prior to the start of the event.

All PEUSA Baseball, Basketball, 7on7 Football, Tackle Football, and Softball tournaments will be 3 or 4 GAME GUARENTEE (weather permitting) unless posted as another format.   Whenever possible, Baseball, Basketball, 7on7 Football, Tackle Football, and Softball tournaments will consist of two pool games seeded to a single elimination bracket. Pool games may begin on Friday night or Saturday morning with the bracket games scheduled for Sunday. Final game schedules will be made public on the Thursday afternoon prior to each scheduled tournament after 6:00pm.                                

On occasion a tournament will exceed the number of fields/courts at the "listed venue."  In this case, we will do our best to seek alternate fields so everyone that wants to play can.  In doing so, please understand, those fields may be some distance from the originally listed venue.   Some travel is part of "tournament play" and a we do not consider travel within the 30 miles a hardship.  Most facilities can handle 32-40 teams, with only a handful of facilities having the capacity to handle 80+ teams; therefore, if ANY tournament exceeds 40-60 teams, you need to be prepared to play in an alternate facility. Unless undo hardship can be demonstrated (travel time is not considered a "undo hardship"), our refund policy WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT.

We reserves the right to change any or all of the these rules at any time. Please review the tournament rules posted at each tournament for any additions, deletion or changes prior to play.


VENUE RULES

Please read our general venue rules before coming to the venue.  We HIGHLY SUGGEST looking online to see if the individual park has specific rules particular to that facility or city.

NO DOGS (no matter the size) should be brought to any venue.  In addition, many parks do not allow such thing as, cooler, totes, outside food or beverages, noise makers, etc.  Again, please check prior to bringing such items to any specific facility.

REFUND POLICY

PremierEventsUSA Refund Policy

It is the objective of PremierEventsUSA to play each tournament to its conclusion.  We reserve the right to modify the tournament in order to reach a conclusion.  Modification may include, but not limited to, reducing the total number of games, an alternate seeding method if pool play did not finish, reduced time limits, playing a partial bracket and awarding final placing from the highest seeds remaining, etc.

However, due to circumstance beyond our control, either man-made or act of God, a tournament may have to be shortened, postponed or cancelled.

Before any tournament is officially cancelled every opportunity will be made to reschedule or resume play at the first opportunity, as dictated by management, local government, and local league play and/or sanctioning body.  We will post all tournament updates on our website, including any cancellation or modifications.

In the event a tournament must be cancelled or rescheduled and a team cannot attend, we will follow the refund policy unless otherwise stated in the tournament rules.

In the event a tournament is rescheduled and your team can not participate, please notify our staff as soon as possible to request the appropriate refund.  Any team withdrawing from a tournament will not be eligible for any rewards such a tournament berths, trophies, etc.

PremierEventsUSA approved refund policy is as follows:

 

NO REFUND WILL BE ISSUED AFTER GAME TIMES ARE POSTED, NO EXCEPTIONS. Gate fees will not be refunded after the tournament starts.

No refund will be issued for any team that withdraws from the tournament after the Wednesday preceding the tournament start date, unless the division did not make.

No refund will be issued for any team WE have to withdraw due to MISS-CLASSIFICATION.  It is the sole responsibility of the coach and or manger to notify PremierEventsUSA of any classification change.

No refund will be issued for any team that holds their spot using a team deposit. All deposits are Non-Refundable.

Baseball & Softball only

  1. If 1 game has STARTED - 1/2 refund of team registration fees only (No winner will be awarded)
  2. If 2 games have STARTED - No refunds will be given, (A winner will be awarded)

We understand from time-to-time, a governing body may reclassify a team after the drop date; however, it is the coach's responsibility to notify Premier Player Sports of the reclassification.  If your team is reclassified and you notify us prior to the event, we will work with you to refund or transfer your registration fee(s).  However, if we are NOT notified by the team and find out through other means, no refund will be issued.

Because teams frequently simply transfer their fees to other events, PremierEventsUSA DOES NOT automatically refund team fees.  We found this only creates more confusion; therefore, we asked that teams "REQUEST a REFUND" by sending a request to Info@PremierEventsUSA.com. Refunds are processed as soon as reasonably possible.

Refunds may take up to 2 weeks to process if the fees were paid by team check, CC or e-check. Those transactions must be deposited and cleared before any refund will be issued.

It is our policy to destroy checks for full refunds.

All credit card refunds will be returned to the original card.

Teams paying through NCS may also expect a delay due to processing time.  PremierEventsUSA does not have direct control over their processes. 

If you have any issues, please feel free to contact me at Info@PremierEventsUSA.com

To Request a Refund or Transfer:

  1. E-Mail Info@PremierEventsUSA.com with the below information:
  2. Team Name

  3. Team Contact

  4. Tournament Date

  5. Last 4 numbers of CC

  6. Statement of Request, ie: (Refund) or (Move my team)

Unless other arrangements have been made in writing, teams must request all applicable refunds no later than December 31 of the year they are earned.  Otherwise, the fees will be forfeited.   Example, if an event rains out in May 2020, teams have until December 2020 to either 1) request a refund or 2) "transfer" those fees to another event.
