Deep South Beach Nationals at The Wharf Program Agreement

Deep South Beach Nationals at The Wharf in Orange Beach is one of the most popular late season events in the country. For this reason, this event sells out early in the season every year. Congrats on making the list!

The Wharf is an outdoor facility that hosts some of the most popular artists of all time. They have very strict weather policies. The two to remember are:

  1. The show can be postponed, stopped, and canceled due to bad weather and there are no refunds or exchanges on tickets. This is due to the cost of the show remaining the same regardless of these circumstances.

  2. If lightening strikes within the zone indicating a dangerous environment for the attendees, the amphitheater will be evacuated and attendees must take shelter outside of the gates. This is because the amphitheater is the tallest metal structure in the area, so it is safer to move away from the facility. Once the weather has passed, the facility will reopen if possible.

For these reasons, we must make sure our guests understand that once a ticket is purchased, it will not be refunded due to weather conditions. Please make sure your parents and spectators understand this venue policy.

As we have been running this event for many years and it remains a favorite event among attendees, we make every effort to work around any outdoor related issues. For programs at this event we ask that you agree to the following:

  1. The event is outside and conditions can be hot, damp, dry, or windy. We have covered areas and make every effort to keep the event proceeding safely, but you will be responsible for your team and their performance. If you are not comfortable in the environment provided, please alert a staff member and they will advise you on allowed alternatives.

  2. The event will run during light rain as the stage and warm up areas are covered. We will also have processes in place to keep the area as suitable as possible. Ask your athletes to bring towels to dry their shoes before getting on a mat if necessary and make sure your parents are aware and can bring ponchos if necessary as the viewing area is not completely covered.

  3. This event may delay, postpone, or have other schedule adjustments. You will need to be flexible throughout the weekend and stay up to date on any and every change in your times and locations.

  4. If weather becomes too much of a challenge as a last resort, the performances will be moved to a small indoor facility. This facility will have limited warm up space and limited capacity. For this reason, only teams and their fans will be allowed in the facility for any performance, and they must exit the facility once their performance is completed. As always, you can view all performances on eCheer.TV. Athletes and spectators will need to be prepared to wait outside of the facility until their team is called.

  5. If weather becomes a major issue, we will work hard to make your team have at least 1 performance during the weekend. This performance can be anytime on any day. You will have to be flexible on this if the weather forces us to move performance times. If by some chance we can not offer you a time on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to have at least 1 performance, we will credit 110% of your registration fee to a future Deep South event or refund 75% of your registration fee and accept a video for placement and awards.

  6. All Programs in attendance must execute this agreement by providing a Digital Signature below from a representative of the Program that has the authority to enter into this agreement.
