CREDIT POLICY - VOUCHER

We understand that things come up at the last minute, injuries happen, etc., that may cause you to miss an event for which you already registered. NO REFUNDS will be given at any time for any reason.

You can receive a credit for any upcoming Freestyle Grapplerz event this calendar year.  Just log into your account and cancel your registration and please email us to let us know at Freestylegrapplerz@Gmail.com.  Please contact us to receive or use your credit and be able to provide proof of a cancelled, paid prior registration for a FREESTYLE GRAPPLERZ event.

***A Credit will be provided to cover your spot despite when you originally signed up. I.E If you originally signed up during late registration ($100), and are now contacting us to use the credit during early registration for another event ($65), you will NOT receive a refund or additional discount to make up the difference. Again, it is simply rolling over an already paid for registration. Please be mindful of which divisions you signed up for originally. If you paid for only Gi initially, you will have a credit to participate in another tournament for a Gi Division. If you decide to then sign up for the second division as well, it will cost an additional $20. Please reach out if you need assistance with this.
