My sons U16 team was just informed that Jeff Cup Showcase was rescheduled for July and if they end up canceling there will be no refunds. Does anyone else find this absurd and unreasonable?? Why would they keep everyone’s money if the event is cancelled, especially in these hard times??? It’s a complete joke if they don’t change their position. At least a credit for next year should be issued. Goes to show you what a harsh business without regard for doing the right things youth soccer has become and is.

What do they need all money for if they don't run the tournament? Why can't clubs just use it for 2021 and refund the teams from the oldest age groups? Every single soccer club is hit by this virus, not just Richmond united. -

If true, would be great for all of the teams that can not make it (and will not get refunded) to not inform the Jeff Cup and then have them scrambling the weekend of each tournament to try to reshuffle the brackets and reschedule the entire thing with no notice. Would serve them perfectly right. No one will be back next year or they will demand that payments be made at the field.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I agree shameful to do what they are doing, at least 80% refunds or full credits for next year should be issued.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Is this confirmed or just a rumor?Comment

Not the original poster but the manager of my daughter’s team sent us an email from the Jeff cup organizers saying they are rescheduling all three weekends in July as long as they get the all clear from US youth and US club soccer by June 8.Originally posted by dang_nabbit View Post
Girls Weekend - July 18-19, 2020
Girls Showcase - July 24-26, 2020
Boys Showcase - July 31- August 2, 2020
They are asking for teams to accept by June 15 and provided a link to do so. It also said those not choosing to participate will not be given a refund. And if they do not receive an “all clear by June 8 they will have to cancel the three weekends completely without any possible refunds.”Comment

If this is true this is horrible. Why do leagues and tournaments think continue to push things into summer when teams change starting June 1st?Comment

Definitely true - exact email from tournament is posted on the PA Bucks thread - you can see it there.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Ridiculous they won’t give refundsComment

Jefferson Cup Teams,
With the extraordinary circumstances that made us cancel (now postponed) the last 3 weeks of the 2020 Jefferson Cup, we have been working diligently to determine a solution and outcome for teams.
Over the past week, we have been able to solidify new dates for this year's event. As long as we have an "All Clear" from USYS and/or US Club by June 8, 2020, we will be hosting the three remaining weekends on the following dates:
Girls Weekend - July 18-19, 2020
Girls Showcase - July 24-26, 2020
Boys Showcase - July 31-August 2, 2020
All accepted teams will have the opportunity to participate without any additional entry fee. To confirm participation, please use the registration link below. The deadline to confirm participation is June 15, 2020.

If they don’t issue any kind of refunds or credits for following years, this may be their last year. I can’t imagine many teams would want to go back if that’s the case.
I also don’t understand how they could possibly come to the conclusion that they should keep ALL the money.Comment
