NO REFUNDS
After registration it will not be possible to get your registration fee back.
We understand the frustration about the no refund policy. For an organizer it is a big risk to organize a tournament, all income is needed for this day.
The no-refund policy also has the advantage that you are more certain of your opponent, that there are fewer late cancellations and allows us to keep our participation prices low.
There will always be late cancellations. If we have to take this into account, it will not be possible to organize a tournament again. We hope that it is also understandable from your side.
