Weather Policy
There are no refunds for weather related cancellations.
Pictona has 13 covered courts and 36 outdoor courts. We also have 4 VAPTR machines that are excellent for removing water from courts. In the event of rain and/or lightning, we will continue play on the 13 covered courts as long as it is safe to do so, and we will do our best to dry the outdoor courts. With the reduced number of courts, Pictona may modify the tournament format but will seek to get all scheduled matches for that day played, playing as late as necessary.
