Dear Attendees,

We hope this message finds you well. We’re writing to share some unfortunate news regarding the Witching Woods Tournament. Due to the forecasted thunderstorms, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the event. This decision was made with fighter regulations and the inherently dangerous nature of the event in mind.

Why We’re Cancelling

With severe weather conditions predicted, it simply wouldn’t be safe for our combat fighters, jousters, vendors, and all attendees to proceed with the event. We care deeply about everyone's safety and want to avoid any potential risks.

Why It’s Dangerous for Our Jousters and Combatants

Safety is our top priority, and the forecasted thunderstorms pose significant risks, particularly for our jousters and combatants. Wet and slippery conditions can lead to serious accidents and injuries. Here are a few specific concerns:

Slippery Grounds: The wet terrain makes it difficult for horses to maintain their footing, increasing the risk of falls and injuries for both the horses and riders.

Reduced Visibility: Heavy rain can impair visibility, making it challenging for participants to see clearly and react promptly during combat or jousting.

Equipment Safety: Rain can damage or compromise the functionality of armor, weapons, and other equipment, posing additional hazards during performances.

Considering these factors, we believe it’s in everyone’s best interest to prioritize safety and cancel the event. We appreciate your understanding and support in this decision.

Refund Details

We understand that this cancellation impacts you, especially after all the effort and excitement you’ve invested. Rest assured, all ticket holders will receive a full refund. We've already initiated an insurance claim to cover these refunds, and you should see the funds returned to you within 45 to 60 days.
