This includes all students, teachers, coaches, mentors, parents, and spectators associated with a team.

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

If our school closes activities due to weather, this event may be postponed, rescheduled, or canceled. Please check the General Info tab at the event web site; updates will be posted as they become available. If the event is canceled, then "Canceled" will appear in the title of the event on RobotEvents.com, and refunds will be given to teams (minus the RobotEvents fee).

The safety of teams, coaches, parents, and volunteers always comes first. If the weather looks threatening, adults should exercise their own judgment when deciding to travel or allowing their children to travel.

Refund and Payment Policies

Teams that wish to withdraw before the tournament will receive no refund unless another team from the Waiting List can fill the team’s spot. If a team withdraws before the tournament due to extenuating circumstances, the Event Partner will consider whether a refund is appropriate. Refunds in this instance will be rare.

If the event is canceled because of weather, refunds will be given to teams (minus the RobotEvents fee).
