Rainout, Cancellation & Withdrawal Policy - Team New Jersey

Participating teams face strict financial terms under updated rainout, cancellation, and withdrawal policies issued by Team New Jersey.

If an entire tournament is canceled before play begins due to rain or unforeseen circumstances, participating teams receive a partial refund. One-half, or 50 percent, of the paid entry fee is refundable, while the remaining 50 percent remains non-refundable to cover pre-tournament expenses already incurred.

Tournament directors retain the sole discretion to increase the non-refundable portion based on actual costs associated with a specific event. Once the tournament schedule is published on the TeamNJsoftball website, any subsequent withdrawal for any reason results in a complete forfeiture of all fees paid with no refund issued.

For partial tournament suspensions where an event is halted after a team has played its first game, participants receive a credit for games that had not yet begun. Tournament directors determine the final credit amount based on unplayed games and incurred costs, with the right to reduce the credit below a straight pro-rata calculation.

Two specific exceptions govern registration and yearend balances. If organizers cannot accommodate an entered team in the bracket or schedule, teams may choose a full refund issued by credit card or check, or apply the full amount toward another tournament within the same calendar year with prior director approval.

Entry fees generally do not carry over from one tournament to another due to administrative burdens, though exceptions are considered in special circumstances. Any amounts owed to a team that remain unapplied to another tournament by the end of the current calendar year must be refunded by year-end, as credits or balances cannot carry forward into the following year.
