At Aloha Lacrosse, our tournaments and events are focused on promoting a fun and safe environment for all players, fans, coaches, and officials. Any situations where gamesmanship or harassment has been brought to the attention of the tournament officials, will be reviewed by the tournament director upon request where they will deem if the actions need to be addressed. Spectators that show disrespect towards officials, players or coaches will not be tolerated. Should referees or tournament director deem a spectator, player, or coach needs to be removed from the site(s) of the tournament, it will be the responsibility of the coach from the offender’s team to remove the offender from the site(s). If security is available at the event, security will be asked to escort the person off the premises, and they will no longer be able to attend the event. Decisions on the field will be the final ruling. Any player, fan or coach ejected from the game will be prohibited from competing in his/her team’s next game.
WEATHER POLICY
In the event of adverse weather conditions, the tournament director reserves the right to:
- Reduce the game times in order to catch up with the schedule or cancel games as needed
- Finish games before inclement weather arrives or to preserve field conditions.
- Reschedule games, if possible.
- Convert tournament to a “Festival” format without playoffs or championships to provide the majority of the teams the opportunity to play as many games as possible.
- Every attempt will be made to update cancellations on the Aloha Tournaments website. However, weather conditions can change rapidly, and all teams should be prepared to play as soon as weather clears and fields are playable.
If thunder or lightning is observed at any location, play will be suspended immediately, and players and fans will be required to leave the field. Play will be allowed to resume 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder or sight of lightning is observed. If a game is in progress:
- The period will end immediately.
- If a game is in the second half of running time period the game will be considered final and the score at that point will be recorded.
- If a game is in the first half of running time when play resumes it will be the start of the second half of the running time period.
- Every attempt will be made to begin subsequent games on time. If the start of the second half of the suspended game delays the onset of the subsequent game the following actions will occur:
- The suspended game will play a 20 minute running time second half.
Subsequent games will begin immediately after the preceding games (teams will warm up on the sideline prior to the game). These games will consist of one 25 minute running time period until games are back on schedule. Teams will have one 30 second timeout per game not to be used in the last two minutes of the game (the clock will not stop during these timeouts).
- Once games are back on schedule, they will revert back to 25 minute running time periods.
- We will make every attempt to play every minute of every game, but we will not jeopardize the safety of any player.
- All games canceled due to weather will be considered a 4 – 2 win for both teams.
Event Cancellation Insurance
Adding Event Cancellation Team Coverage to your registration is a smart choice for safeguarding against the unexpected. Don’t let the possibility of weather-related cancellations disrupt your team’s plans or financial commitments.
Comprehensive Weather Protection:
This policy covers all unsafe weather-related conditions, ensuring teams are protected from the unexpected, including: Heat, rain, ice, snow, hail, smoke, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, unplayable venues.
How Does It Work
When you register your team for a tournament you will see an option to add Team Coverage Insurance. This insurance protects your team’s registration fees based on games played versus games guaranteed. If the tournament is forced to fully or partially cancel and your team doesn’t play the number of games guaranteed, your team is reimbursed the unused portion of your registration fee.
Assured Refund Mechanism
Weather is unpredictable, but your team’s financial stability doesn’t have to be. With this insurance, you can rest easy knowing that your registration fees are covered if games are cancelled due to rain, snow, extreme heat or any unsafe playing conditions related to the weather!

3STEP REFUND & CREDIT POLICY
By registering for a 3STEP Program, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
1. No Refunds: All registration fees are non-refundable. Once payment is received, there will be no refunds issued
for any reason, including, but not limited to, Program cancellation, injury, absence, or non-participation.
2. Event Cancellation: If 3STEP cancels a Program due to unforeseen circumstances such as extreme weather, facility
closure, or other reasons outside our control, 3STEP will make every effort to reschedule. If rescheduling is not
possible, 3STEP may, in its sole discretion, offer full or partial credit which can be used toward participation in a
future 3STEP program.
3. Missed Games/Practices: If an athlete misses any game, practice, or event for any reason, including illness, injury,
or personal conflict, no refund will be issued. However, 3STEP may, in its sole discretion, offer partial credit which
can be used toward participation in a future 3STEP program.
4. Transfers: Registration fees are non-transferable. In other words, once an athlete is registered for a specific
Program, their registration cannot be transferred to another athlete.
5. Special Considerations: While we do not issue refunds, in exceptional cases, such as a serious medical condition
or family emergency, we may consider offering full or partial credit on a case-by-case basis. Requests must be
submitted in writing with appropriate documentation, and such requests are not guaranteed.
6. Program Insurance: We strongly encourage you to consider purchasing insurance for participation in any 3STEP
Program. Insurance can provide protection if an athlete or team is unable to attend a Program due to unforeseen
circumstances such as illness, injury, or emergencies, and may help recoup registration costs. While 3STEP does
not provide cancellation insurance, we have facilitated an opportunity for you to do so through US Sports Club
Insurance (“USSCI”). You can purchase insurance coverage through USSCI during Program registration or by
visiting https://threestep.com/sportsinsurance/.
7. Acknowledgment: By completing the Program registration process, you confirm you have read, understood, and
agreed to the terms of this Policy.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to providing an enjoyable and rewarding experience for each and every
athlete.
