Tournament No-Shows

  • In the event the entrant cannot for any reason, other than provided below, attend the tournament, the entrant shall not be eligible for any refund.

  • Entrants’ rights to the tournament are not transferable.

Tournament Cancellation and/or Modifications

  • In the event the Park Service closes the island/cabins during the tournament dates, the tournament will be canceled.

  • In the event the island is closed for a period during the week of the tournament and is reopened prior to the beginning of the tournament, the tournament committee shall, with the input of the Park Service and the concessionaires, make a determination as to whether all entrants can be transported to the island so that the tournament can begin no later than 9:00 PM on Thursday evening of the tournament. If that cannot be reasonably accomplished in the opinion of the tournament committee, the tournament will be canceled.

  • Each entrant is responsible for contacting Ferry Service and NPS to determine the status of island closures due to extreme weather. Please see www.diffclub.org or DIFF Club Facebook page, or contact a DIFF Board Member for Tournament Status.

  • In the event that the Park Service gives notice to the tournament committee before 8:00 AM Friday that the Island is being closed, the tournament shall be deemed canceled. This rule will be in effect even if the tournament has already started.

  • In the event of cancellation of the tournament because the island has been closed by the Park Service as contemplated herein, $75.00 of the entry fee for each entrant will be applied toward next year’s tournament entry fee. Entrants may request a refund of $75 by emailing the DIFF club treasurer by Dec. 31st, 2025.

  • In the event that the Park Service gives notice to the tournament committee after 8:00 AM Friday that it is closing the island, the tournament shall be deemed official and the tournament committee shall determine the official deadline for the tournament.

  • The tournament committee will conclude that the Park Service has made a reasonable effort to notify on a timely manner, each person on the island of its decision to close the island. Should this event occur, it is the entrant’s responsibility to contact the tournament committee regarding early termination of the tournament, weigh-in times, etc.
