Tournament Rules
Event Cancellation Insurance - Refund Policy
If your team is accepted to play in the MSC KOC tournament and later withdraws, the registration fee is non-refundable, and sanctions may be placed against your team for
participation in future competitions.
Manhattan Soccer Club will not be responsible for any losses, expenses, or other liabilities incurred by any team, club, or individual if the tournament is canceled in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever.
Refund Policy: Tournament registration fees are non-refundable. However, teams that purchase Event Cancellation Team Coverage from ViCoverage, powered by Vertical Insure, may be eligible for a refund of up to 100% if the event is canceled or shortened due to weather-related or unsafe playing conditions.
Refunds are determined based on games played versus games guaranteed and are paid directly to the team through Vertical Insure.
How it works:
-
If your team registered for a 3-game minimum tournament and only one game was played before the weather made the fields unplayable, you will be refunded for the two games you did not play.
-
If the tournament is canceled in full before any games begin, covered teams will be eligible for a 100% refund of the registration fee.

Insurance Fee & Purchase
The insurance cost is 10% of the team's tournament registration fee. Vertical Insure will issue all refunds directly.
Insurance can be purchased after your team's tournament registration fee has been paid, but it must be purchased at least 15 days before the event. The deadline for the MSC Kickoff Classic is February 4, 2026.
This is a reminder that insurance is optional. However, if the event is canceled in whole or in part due to weather and your team does not have a policy, you will not be eligible for any refund or credit of your entry fees.
