TOUR STRUCTURE

701 Winter Weather Policy

At 701 Poker, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our community members. We recognize that winter storms can present significant risks to those traveling to and from our tournaments. In the interest of maintaining a safe environment for our participants, we have implemented the following policy: If the National Weather Service issues a winter storm warning for the area in which a tournament is scheduled to take place, the tournament will be cancelled. We will make every effort to communicate the cancellation as quickly as possible to all affected participants.

The decision to cancel a tournament will be made by our staff in consultation with the charity involved. We will monitor weather reports closely leading up to the event and will make a final determination as soon as possible.

We understand that cancellations can be frustrating and inconvenient for our participants. However, we believe that this policy is necessary to ensure the safety of everyone involved. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in the event that a tournament is cancelled due to a winter storm warning.

If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please don't hesitate to contact us.
