It seems unwise to make the trip for those out of town with state-wide gas shortages, state of emergency evacuation traffic, and anticipated tropical force weather starting as soon as Sunday morning. There is no specific criteria for natural disasters influencing PDGA events on their website so why would there be a withdrawal penalty?

Thank you for the copy and paste of info from the front page but I asked here because I did all of that. I have yet to receive a response from them which is why I was reaching out.

You and the 200 other people who have emailed asking the same question probably won’t get a response... it’s a ****ty situation.. but at this point I’m pretty sure your options are A) play the event.. or B) follow pdga refund policy guidelines...

Yes, we will be following PDGA guidelines (which was discussed with the PDGA). At this point, unless someone prefers the 25% refund we will be sending players packages to the address on the registration. This will take a while as we are focused on the event and then the hurricane.
