90 days before the competition starts the team must send 50% from the total ammount. The teams can cancel the participation of the players until 90 days before the competition, after this date it is mandatory to present a medical certificate (see cancellation policy in the terms and conditions).
Last Deposit
60 days before the tournaments starts the team must pay 100% from the total ammount, for all the accommodation fee/participation fee and participants with or without accommodation. Both leaders and players pay this fee.
In case of being a "non-local" team (with IberCup accommodation), if the payment balance of the accommodation package reservation in our tournament is still open after the last payment deadline, IberCup informs you that it will not make any advance payments on your behalf or on behalf of the team and thus the accommodation supposedly hired reserves the right to cancel without any refund of previously paid amounts.
In the case of teams that want to make any payment later than the payment deadline, and with their reservation already cancelled for lack of payments, we inform that a new request for availability and quotation will be made to the accommodation. In case of availability in the accommodation, that quotation will probably be more expensive than the previously agreed value, that means that the final value to pay per person will not be the same.
Therefore, apart from the teams having the accommodation canceled IberCup will not be able to include the teams in the group stage draw for the match schedule.
In case of being a "local" team (without IberCup accommodation), if the payment balance of the booking to participate in our tournament is still open after the last payment deadline, IberCup informs that the participation will be canceled and IberCup will not be able to include the team(s) in the group stage draw for the match calendar.
