Cancel at least 12 hours before your session and you receive a session credit to use another day. If you cancel later than that, your seat is released and you receive a credit only if another player pays for it, online or at the door. If no one does, there is no credit. A missed session without cancelling does not receive a credit either, and a seat that is not played does not earn a punch. A class seat needs 48 hours' notice, because a class needs at least 8 players, and a cancelled class seat gives a class credit for a future class. The same late cancel rule applies to a class. If you cannot attend any other future class date, write to us and we will refund you.
