An unexpected change of venue shakes up the Vancouver tournament.
If you’re planning to attend Canada Cup Vancouver 2017 — already registered, or not — you’ll want to take note of the event’s surprise change of venue. Scheduled for July 1-2 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the event’s planned River Rock Casino venue has pulled out without warning, leaving the event to scramble to find a substitute. A replacement has been found and Canada Cup Vancouver will proceed this year, but with some changes.
The event will now take place at EXP Restaurant + Bar, and the smaller venue has forced the drop of doubles tournaments and placed entry caps on the games. There is also now a $20.00 spectator entry fee. Full details about the changes for each game can be found on the Canada Cup Vancouver website.
Because the event has been forced to operate differently than advertised, Canada Cup Gaming is offering refunds for registrants that choose to no longer attend, available until registration closes on June 27th. To claim a refund, follow the instructions on the website here. Registrants that opt to still attend will receive a $10.00 voucher for the EXP Bar.
From Canada Cup Gaming:
