A player may, however, submit another application for that tournament if the entry deadline has not passed. Withdrawal from any event will not affect future tournament play. Failure to withdraw will be considered a "No-Show." (See "No-Shows") in Membership Handbook.
Refunds/ Incomplete Transactions: The membership fee is non-refundable. Players who withdraw before an event’s entry deadline will have their entry fee returned minus $10.00 for handling. If a player withdraws after the entry deadline and five (5) or more working days before the tournament, he/she will be refunded 50% of the entry fee. There will be no refunds for players who withdraw less than five (5) working days (Monday through Friday) before a tournament (except for emergencies; these claims will be reviewed by the HSJGA Executive Committee). If a tournament is cancelled due to inclement weather, the junior will be refunded all but $10.00 of his/her entry fee for handling.
