At Napa Tennis Escape, we strive to provide an exceptional tournament experience, rain or shine. Due to the nature of event planning and the upfront costs associated with organizing this premier tournament, all entry fees are non-refundable. However, we have established the following rain policy to address potential weather disruptions:
Tournament Format Adjustments Due to Rain
If rain delays play, we will make every effort to resume matches as soon as conditions allow.
Matches may be shortened or modified (ie no-ad scoring, super tiebreakers) to accommodate schedule changes.
If necessary, play may be started earlier or extended into later hours or adjusted to maximize available court time.
No refunds or credits will be issued due to rain, as all expenses for event planning, facility reservations, and tournament operations remain fixed.
We reserve the right to make all final decisions regarding scheduling, format adjustments, and venue changes in the event of inclement weather.
By registering for Napa Tennis Escape 2025, all participants acknowledge and accept this Rain Policy.
