1. Team Withdrawals

Tournament planning, field rentals, and scheduling happen months in advance. Therefore:

• 30 Days or Less: If a team withdraws within 30 days of the tournament start date for any reason (lack of players, travel issues, etc.), no refund or credit will be issued.

• More than 30 Days: If a team withdraws more than 30 days before the event, a refund may be issued minus a $100 administrative fee.

• Transaction Fees: Credit card processing fees are paid to a third party and are non-refundable under any circumstances.

2. Full Tournament Cancellation (Force Majeure)

If the tournament is canceled in full before it begins due to factors beyond the control of Alianza de Fútbol (such as extreme weather, unplayable field conditions/city closures, government restrictions, or natural disasters), teams will have two options:

1. Partial Refund: A refund of the registration fee minus a $75 administrative fee (this fee covers non-recoverable costs like insurance, permits, and pre-event labor).

2. Full Credit: A 100% credit of the paid entry fee to be used for any Alianza de Fútbol tournament during the current calendar year or the following calendar year.

3. Cancellations After the Tournament Starts

If an emergency or weather condition forces the cancellation or shortening of the event once the first whistle of the first game has blown, no refunds or credits will be issued. Alianza de Fútbol is not responsible for any expenses incurred by teams or individuals, including travel, lodging, or transportation.

4. Disciplinary Expulsion

Any team, player, coach, or spectator whose conduct leads to the team being expelled from the tournament (fighting, verbal abuse, etc.) forfeits their entire registration fee. No refunds or credits will be granted to teams removed for disciplinary reasons.

5. Refund Processing

Approved refunds will be processed within 30 business days of the official announcement.
