Here is the message I sent out via email to all who have pre-registered.
Parents, Coaches, Club Leaders and Players,
I received an email from UW-Milwaukee this morning informing us that they cannot host us Saturday and that they are cancelling all events at UW-Milwaukee.
I was fearful of this happening but certainly not surprised. I also respect them for their decision and agree that an abundance of caution is the way to go.
Of course, I am deeply saddened by this and know many, many players look forward to this event all year.
Just read on breaking news that W.H.O has declared a pandemic. I think our lives will be changed for a while and pray that none of us will personally be affected by this worldwide event.
We of course will be offering to refund registration fees. I do however ask you to consider your registration fee to WSCF as a donation. This event was the largest net event for us for the year and provided a substantial part of our budget.
Your support is much appreciated. Please let me know if you want the refund and I will gladly access PayPal and refund the fees.
Again, with deepest sadness, I am sorry that we cannot have this event. About 100 trophy shelves will have one less trophy. (:
