Ballparks National – Refund/Cancellation Policy

Refund Policy

Once an entry fee is paid for an event, no cash, check, or credit card refunds will be issued for any reason whatsoever, unless Ballparks National cancels the event in advance of the event weekend due to insufficient enrollment. If a team registers and subsequently is unable to participate, the following refund/credit policy applies:

  • Tournament withdrawals made prior to the 15-day deadline will receive a refund minus a $50.00 administration fee.
  • Tournament withdrawals within 15 days prior to the start of the event will forfeit all tournament fees.

If an event is canceled at any time or shortened due to inclement weather or field conditions, Ballparks National will issue credits as follows:

  • 0 Games: 100% credit toward a future Ballparks National event either later in 2025 or 2026.
  • 1 game: 50% credit toward a future Ballparks National event either later in 2025 or 2026.
  • 2nd Game Started: 25% credit towards a future Ballparks National event either later in 2025 or 2026.
  • 2 or more games completed: No credits due.

Game Called Due to Weather or Field Conditions

A game will be considered complete if weather, darkness, or field conditions prevent the game from being completed:

  • 6-inning game = 3 innings or 2 ½ if the home team is leading, will constitute a completed game.
  • 7-inning game = 4 innings or 3 ½ if the home team is leading, will determine a completed game.

If a game is not official as described above, the Tournament Director will either:

  • (a) suspend the game and arrange to have it resumed where it left off, or
  • (b) cancel the game such that it does not count toward tournament standings.

Should a Championship game be interrupted by weather, darkness, or unplayable field conditions, and is not an official game per the above Rule, then the Championship team will be determined by the score at the end of the last full completed inning. If the score was tied at the end of the last completed inning or if the first inning of the game is not completed, the higher seed shall be named Champion.
