A) CANCELLATION & RESCHEDULING inside of fourteen (14) days are non-refundable & do not qualify for rescheduling. Clients are welcome to transfer bookings to a replacement (private lessons, court rentals); though if your booking requires a certain level of play or age requirement (tournament registration, social, adult class, junior class), your replacement will need to be within the required skill/ age level of that class.
All bookings inside of fourteen (14) days are non-refundable & do not qualify for rescheduling
Bookings that were made in error can be cancelled within 30 min with 100% credit. Beyond 30 min, no credit is issued unless done so outside fourteen (14) days.
Cancellations outside fourteen (14) days will be compensated with a BreakPoint Gift Card. No cash or CC refunds are given at any time. Gift cards are issued at the purchase price value only & clients are welcome to purchase anything (court rental, private lesson, challenger etc) with this credit amount. BreakPoint does not accommodate rescheduling requests outside of this process of issuing credit.
The (14) day period is calculated using the start time of your lesson (ie. if your booking is on Tues July 15th at 6pm; then you must make your cancellation request by July 1st at 6pm).
All cancellations must be made in writing to info@breakpointclub.org and will be responded within 3-5 business days
B) WEATHER conditions (such as rain, snow, extreme temperatures, air quality, etc) will not cause cancellation. BreakPoint will proceed with all bookings; regardless of the weather. BreakPoint does not cancel or reschedule bookings due to foul weather.
Court rental permits are non-refundable by our landlord; therefor, BreakPoint must proceed with all bookings. Coaches will be there regardless of weather. Training may be modified to ensure safety (ie. students may work on serves or stationary volleys instead of groundstrokes) & safety protocols are followed should electrical storms be encountered (seek shelter & return when safe to do so).
The choice is ultimately in the hands of the participant to attend or not; though no refunds or credits will be offered due to foul weather.
Please be advised that BreakPoint will not tolerate abusive behaviour during foul weather or when inquiring about a foul weather forecast. Court permit rentals are non-refundable by our landlord & despite best efforts to be refunded/ credited during foul weather - this remains the policy. Court rental permits is by far our largest expense as a club - so the booking will persist despite foul weather.
It is our intent to remain a happy and joyful sports club - so it is important to keep a positive attitude if you decide to attend or not.
C) COACHING changes occasional occur. From time to time, we are required to replace the assigned coach with a substitute coach. BreakPoint does not cancel bookings requiring a substitute coach & will find a replacement coach to lead your class or lesson. A coaching change is not grounds for a credit or cancellation.
D) VENUE ACCESS CLOSURES DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES such as facility labour disputes, government mandates, or other factors beyond BreakPoint's control - may interrupt or prevent the ability to deliver services. In such cases, BreakPoint is committed to ensuring affected participants receive the full value by rescheduling to a different date/location or are provided 100% refund.

TOURNAMENT CODE OF CONDUCT
for umpires, coaches & players to follow. (& convener when tournament is a self-umpired)
Part 1 - if a player signs up for a lower level tournament that is inferior to their actual skill (ie. an NTRP 3.5 player signs up for an advanced-beginner NTRP 2.0-2.5 tournament); and is beating a player(s) significantly (ie. the weaker player in the proper division is getting 1pt/ max 2pts per game and is obviously mismatched); the umpire or convener will pause play after the 4th completed game and call players to the net.
This pause will only occur if A, B and C occur:
A - there is a significant skill gap between the on-court player(s).
B - the higher level player is relenting a significant "1-sided victory" with obvious mismatch of talent and is not showing signs of dropping their level of play.
C - the higher level (in wrong division) player has been identified by the umpire as a player having a "higher NTRP value" that does not fit into the level of of that specific tournament.
Part 2 - During the pause, the umpire will issue a "play nice“ card to the superior player(s) in the wrong division. All players will be supported with positive vibes & the BreakPoint umpire will explain to the higher skilled player their interpretation of why they are identified with the interpreted superior NTRP number value. (ie. NTRP identifies players effectively using spin on their forehand as having minimum 3.5)
The umpire will assist the superior player in how to "play nice“. Some examples of "play nice“ may be to not use a full motion serve (instead use a "check mark" or backscratcher serve) or not hit with significant speed & start utilizing arched shots without spin. We still want the high skilled player in the wrong division to still enjoy the tournament. The assumption is that the player is not vindictive, rather they just got the wrong division at registration & didn’t recognize the gap in level during warmup and first 4 games.
The remainder of the match is played with umpire or convener guidance and the final score is submitted "as is". Nobody is removed from the tournament. And the higher level player can still win the tournament. It may be that their next match is against another superior player in the wrong lower level…so they can go "all out“.
Part 3 - An official "BreakPoint sanctioned“ NTRP number is issued to the superior player at the end of the tournament; this player is now limited to this level or higher in future "BreakPoint" sanctioned tournaments. (ie. a 3.5 player "issue“ may limit them to a tournament that includes 3.5 or higher…for instance a tournament that is 3.0- 3.5 or 3.0- 4.0 is completely acceptable). Players are welcome to play above their respective level without concern.
Final notes: Tennis has a long tradition of being "gentlemanly & ladielike"; and in many cases players that recognize a large gap in skill level will modify their strokes automatically. Many players recognize this in warmup. This is the tradition of the sport.
There are times when it is acceptable for players to "punish“ an opponent even when there is a large gap in skill. Generally speaking this is limited to open level tournaments (5.0 and above).
