HoopSource – Refund Policy

  • Refunds for cancelled team or individual registrations must be requested at least 30 days prior to the start of an event.
    ⚠️ A $50 processing fee will be applied to each approved refund request.

Facility & Venue Use Policy

At HoopSource, we utilize multiple gyms and facilities—typically located within 25 minutes of the nearest airport—to accommodate the size and scope of our events. Due to the high volume of participating teams, games will take place across multiple venues.

Respecting our facilities is not optional—it’s essential.
The venues we partner with are the backbone of our events, and we consider them the most vital part of our operation. We ask all participants, spectators, and staff to treat each location with the utmost care and respect.

⚠️ Any damage to a facility or failure to show proper respect (including inappropriate behavior, littering, or property misuse) will result in immediate and indefinite suspension from all HoopSource events for any individual or team involved.

Let’s work together to ensure a positive experience for everyone and protect the places that make these events possible.

Travel & Hotel Partnerships – Make the Smart Choice

At HoopSource, we’re proud to partner with top-rated hotels that offer exclusive discounted rates for our traveling teams and families. These hotel options are strategically located, making it easy to access any of our tournament venues—typically within 25 minutes of the nearest airport.

Selecting an approved hotel partner is more than just a convenience—it plays a key role in ensuring the smooth operation of our events. When teams stay at our recommended hotels, it helps us better coordinate game schedules, manage travel times, and—most importantly—start games on time. Staying nearby also reduces the risk of delays due to traffic, long commutes, or last-minute navigation issues.

🏨 Booking is easy!
