ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES:

1. All Tournament participants will be required to sign electronic waivers prior to check-in on Friday, January 23, 2026, including the 9280 Pond Hockey Tournament Participant Waiver, the 9280 Tournament Rules, and the Vail Resorts Liability Waiver.
2. Teams are required to register in the Division that is best suited skill-wise for that team. Registering for a Division above or below your team’s level in order to simply secure a spot in the Tournament can result in your team being disqualified from the Tournament without a refund.
3. Teams are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. If your team is accepted at time of registration, the Team Captain/Manager will receive an email as such. If your team is placed on our Waitlist due to your Division being full, an email will be sent.
4. The Tournament Directors reserve the right to prohibit any player, team or spectator from participating if they are deemed to cause safety concerns or exhibit unsportsmanlike behavior that is in conflict with the Tournament’s Code of Conduct which will be posted on site at the Tournament.
5. The 9280 Pond Hockey Tournament reserves the right to use the names and photos of registered team members and team names for all tournament promotion, including the website, press releases, media and marketing.
    

PAYMENT + REFUND POLICIES:

• Team entries require a credit card at time of registration. If your credit card is declined, it must be updated in the registration platform so we may process payment within 10 days or it may be subject to cancellation. Team Managers/Captains are notified via email if their card is declined.
• Teams choosing to cancel on or before November 20, 2025, will receive a refund less a $250 administrative fee.
• Teams choosing to cancel after November 20, 2025, will not receive a registration fee refund of any kind.
• Selling your team registration “offline” to another team is not permitted as this creates major logistical complications for the Tournament.
• Injuries are a natural occurrence in a contact sport such as hockey. As a result, refunds will not be given for injuries and the participant is subject to the refund policies as outlined above.
• If the event is canceled for any reason including unsafe ice conditions or weather on or before December 31, 2025, teams will be refunded 25% of their registration fee and guaranteed a team spot for the 2027 Tournament at the regular registration fee rates.
• If the event is canceled for any reason including unsafe ice conditions or weather between January 1, 2026 and prior to games starting on January 23, 2026 all teams will receive a guaranteed team spot for the 2027 Tournament at the regular registration rates; however, no refunds will be given.
• Tournament Directors in partnership with Keystone/Vail Resorts staff will make all decisions regarding ice and weather safety.
• The 9280 Pond Hockey Tournament is not liable for your team's travel, including but not limited to air travel, lodging expenses, auto rental, and personal auto travel. As with all weather-related events and the fact that we cannot control Mother Nature, we strongly encourage participants to purchase travel insurance when available and to review your lodging policies.
   

EVENT SITE REGULATIONS:

• No outside alcohol is permitted on the ice surface of Keystone Lake.
• Please be courteous of spectators and fellow participants, and be sure to clean up your area after your games.
• No animals including dogs are allowed on Keystone Lake. This is for their safety and the safety of the participants.
• We strongly discourage baby strollers and infants on the ice at any time due to the high risk of flying pucks and injury.
• Spectators are permitted on the ice but enter the area at their own risk. The Tournament is not liable for injury resulting from navigating the ice surface, flying pucks, open play or tournament games.
• Medical Personnel will be on-site for the duration of tournament play. Our staff or volunteers can also help contact medical personnel if the situation warrants.
• The 9280 Pond Hockey Tournament is not responsible for lost or stolen goods.
