I. GENERAL
These policies are designed to make each sports league and event run as smoothly and safely as possible. These policies were created to
provide organization and consistency for all participants in every SoCo Sports League. Each participant is responsible for reading and
understanding this information. Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy your season with SoCo Sports!
II. EMAILS
By providing your name and email address to SoCo Sports, you understand that you are NOT obligated to sing up for or participate in any
leagues. SoCo Sports will only send you e-mails to provide you with league and event information and updates. SoCo Sports cares about
your privacy and will never share, sell, or distribute your personal information; except as Section III of SoCo Sports Terms of Use
III. REGISTRATION
By signing up as a team, small groups or individual, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to all SoCo Sports Policies
and league rules. It is your responsibility to field a full and legal team each week. Your registration form alone does NOT confirm your
placement on a team or in a league. Individuals and Teams are only confirmed to a league once full payment has been received prior to the
Deadline. We reserve the right to add individual players to groups that sign up as a team with less than the minimum number of players
required to play the sport. We may also add individuals to teams that have the minimum number of players required to play but need extra
players to help avoid forfeits. SoCo Sports will keep the individual registration fee for any player added above the minimum required to play.
All individuals, groups, and teams must be registered at least 2 weeks prior to the start date of the league.
IV. PAYMENTS
All payments to SoCo Sports are considered final and non-refundable. Your registration form alone does NOT confirm your placement on a
team league, tournament, camp or clinic (collectively “Sports Events”). Individuals, Small Groups and Teams are only confirmed to Sports
Events once full payment has been received prior to the Deadline. Once your full payment has been received, you will receive electronic
confirmation of your completed registration. Please keep this confirmation for your records. SoCo Sports will NOT provide refunds for Sports
Events payments for any reason. If you need to remove yourself from a Sports Events, it is up to you to find a replacement and work out a
payment system with your replacement.
V. REFUNDS
SoCo Sports will NOT provide refunds for Sports Event payments for any reason. This includes but not limited to individuals, small groups
and/or teams that become injured or sick, do NOT show up for league games, camps, clinics, and tournament, withdraw from a Sports
Event, or are removed from a Sports Events by a SoCo Sports staff member, facility managers, or SoCo Sport’s management. All social
events, parties, and outings are non-refundable, no matter the circumstances.
VI. SCHEDULES
SoCo Sports has sole discretion and reserves the right to schedule games (regular and playoff) on days other than your regularly scheduled
league day/night. In extreme circumstances, SoCo Sports has the right to run a shortened season without a refund. SoCo Sports is
completely dependent on the constraints of each facility and we therefore ask for your patience and understanding if we need to make
changes to your league schedule.
VII. WAIVERS
In order to participate in any of our Sports Events, each participant must sign the SoCo Sports Release & Waiver. By registering online for a
Sports Event, you agree to be bound by and comply with all of the terms and conditions hereof, and any other guidelines, rules and additional
terms referenced in the Release and Waiver, which is hereby incorporated by reference (the “Waiver”).
VIII. PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
Our Sports Events are available to all individuals who are at least 18 years of age. By registering online to any of our Sports Events, you
represent and warrant that you are 18 or over, or the legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction if that age is greater than 18 years
of age, to use the Site and participate in any of our Sports Events, and have the right, full power, authority, and capacity to enter into these
Terms and to abide by all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Site is administered in the United States. Any use outside of the
United States is at your own risk, and you are responsible for compliance with any local laws applicable to your use of the Site.
Players who are on the final roster are eligible for playoffs. A formal protest may be filed before a playoff game if an opposing player’s
eligibility is in question. The player in question will be required to provide his/her player information including photo ID to the SoCo Sports'
league official. If the player in question cannot prove that he/she is on the final roster, then that player mat NOT play in that game nor in any
future playoff games that season. Any and all decisions must be made on site by the league official and each team captain. Any protest
made during a game or after a game will NOT be considered a formal protest. All rulings by the league official are considered final.
IX. SPORTSMANSHIP
At SoCo Sports, we facilitate fun! We hope and expect that all participants keep that in mind when becoming involved in our Sports Events.
Although the games may become intense, you still can be competitive while maintaining good sportsmanship. With this said, any behavior
deemed unacceptable by SoCo Sports staff may result in suspension and/or ejection from a Sports Events. Any player ejected twice within
the same season will be banned from SoCo Sports for life. SoCo Sports reserves the right to ban a player, group of players, or an entire
team at our discretion after just one occurrence, depending on the severity of the situation.
X. GAME/LEAGUE CANCELLATIONS
Leagues may be canceled due to existing weather conditions, dangerous or unplayable field conditions, facility constraints, etc. SoCo Sports
staff will make every effort to play all scheduled games, thus we will not cancel games until absolutely necessary. Please check our website
(www.socosports.com) prior to any game to check for cancellations or weather updates. If a game or the entire league is canceled, SoCo
Sports staff will notify all players to the email address provided. If a game is canceled on site, we will update the weather line and will update
the schedule online. Depending on the time of cancellation, some teams will have to be notified on site. If we do cancel, please follow the
next week’s schedule. The games that are canceled will be made up at the end of the season if time allows. In extreme circumstances,
SoCo Sports reserves the right to run a shortened season without a refund or schedule games on days other than our regularly scheduled
league day/night.
XI. T-SHIRTS
SoCo Sports provides free league t-shirts for all SoCo Sports leagues. We reserve the right to assign team colors based on our vendor’s
inventory and size requirements. Each team will receive one shirt for every paid player (“Official Player”) on the roster. The shirts will be
handed out at the location, usually 30min prior to your first game. All t-shirts must be collected by the team captain at the first game. The
team captain must distribute the shirts to any Official Player that could not attend the first game. All Official Players must wear their official
SoCo Sports t-shirt at every game during the season, including the playoffs, or risk not being able to play in the game. League officials have
the right to prevent a player from playing in a game for not wearing their official SoCo Sports t-shirt. We require all players to wear our jerseys
as this is the only way for us to guarantee no two teams have the same color and that all players on the field are legal players that have
signed our release and waiver.
XII. PRIZES
The championship team will receive championship prizes at the end of each season. Championship prizes vary by season and will be
provided to all official roster players at the end of the championship game. SoCo Sports reserves the right NOT to provide championship
prizes to the winning team.
