Refund and Payment Policies

Teams can cancel with 1 week notice. Teams that cancel with less than 1 week notice, will be billed for the full cost of the event if the waitlist is exhausted and your spot is empty. If there a long waitlist there is less likely to be a charge. 

Holding spots is discouraged. However, under limited special circumstances PYRS will absorb the loss revenue. This is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
