Directors Discretion
The tournament director reserves the right to:
- review, and possibly alter the rating of players who self-rate below or above their actual rating.
- move players and teams between skill level brackets if the wrong event has been entered.
- any event with fewer than 3 entries will be combined with another event of closest possible standard.
- change start times to facilitate smooth running of the tournament.
The tournament director reserves the right to modify the events and/or schedule as needed pending influences beyond our control (eg. fire drill, PLC evacuation etc).
