  • Teams may provide a credit card number to hold a spot up until 10 days before the event, at which time the credit card will be processed.

  • Full payment must be received 10 days prior to the beginning of the tournament:  It is common for tournaments to sell out earlier than this.  Entries are on a first paid basis!

Any team we do not have payment for with less than 10 days before the event may be removed from the list

Acceptable payment options are:

  • Sign up and mail in a check up to 10 days before the tournament

Brackets:

  • Brackets are published on the Monday evening before the event in most cases

  • Only teams that we have received payment from will be bracketed : NO TEAM WILL BE SCHEDULED WITHOUT PAYMENT !

  • All special requests for game times must be received in writing before brackets are published.  We will try to accommodate all requests but we cannot make any guarantees.

Pull Outs:

  • Teams may pull out of any event up to 1 week  (7 days) before the start of the tournament and receive a full refund without penalty within 10 days of receiving notice

  • Teams that pull out within one week of the start of the start of the tournament incur a $50 penalty.  Team will be refunded the entry fee minus the $50 late cancellation fee within 14 days from the end  of the tournament

  • Teams that pull out any time after brackets are published are responsible for the entire entry fee.  If we can replace that team with another team, they will only be penalized the $50 late cancellation fee.

Rain Outs:

  • In the event of a cancellation due to field conditions or inclement weather, teams will receive a refund as follows :

    1. 0- games played  =  Full Refund

    2. 1 or 2 games played = Divide the entry fee by the minimum games for the tournament.  The refund will be the amount of games not played.  For example:  A $450 entry fee with a 3 game minimum= $150/game.  With 1 game played, teams are refunded the remaining 2 games for a total of $300.

  • Any game started is considered a game played

  • Teams will be given a choice to receive a check for the refunded amount within 14 days of the tournament, or they can apply the refunded amount to any other Velocity Baseball tournament of their choice

Ejections:

  • Players ejected from a game will sit for the remainder of that game only.  If action is deemed malicious by the umpire and/or tournament director, additional penalties may be applied by the tournament director
