Ok I'll start the Conversation... on the
Zika Virus and the Miami area CDC travel advisory warnings issued this week.

I, like MANY have concerns about this issue and will not be making the trip for this event after paying for the entry due to the health concerns noted in the above articles and warning from the CDC and the WHO.
Over the past day or so I have tried to contact the Webmaster (Linda) for the Tornado Open here (
http://www.thetornadoopen.com/contact-us/ ) regarding the change in travel plan and paid entry refund policy. I haven't yet heard back.
Since this issue has 'came up' SINCE the tournament was announced and the refund policy has a 8/1 deadline (
http://www.thetornadoopen.com/terms-conditions/), what should be the way the event organizers to handle paid entry players (families) not willing to take the risk to go to this event?
If a refund isn't offered, my suggestion might be to offer a paid entry (credit) into a future event. Its Just a thought to lessen the burden this unforeseen 'natural disaster' has place on us all. Personally, for my group, I've had to cancel flights, car rental, hotels and a Cruise... It hasn't been a fun last 24 hours..
