Aspire Corporate Pickleball Tournament Weather Policy

The Aspire Pickleball Tournament is a fundraising event supporting Aspire’s mission to drive economic development and business success in our community. Participant safety is our top priority, while also fostering business connections, team building, and promotion.

If inclement weather is anticipated, match formats may be shortened (e.g., first to 7 points, fewer games) to complete play before conditions worsen.

Play will be suspended if conditions are unsafe (e.g., lightning, dangerously wet courts) and will not resume until courts are safe. If courts cannot be restored in a timely manner, the tournament will be concluded. Results will be determined in good faith based on completed matches, including round robin play.

If the tournament is cancelled before play begins, it may be rescheduled or cancelled. Companies may substitute players or representatives if rescheduled. No refunds will be issued if the event is shortened or canceled due to weather.

Weather-related updates, delays, or rescheduling announcements will be promptly shared with team captains and sponsors via email. Aspire reserves the right to interpret this policy; all decisions are final.
