DIRECTOR'S DISCRETION
The tournament director reserves the right to:
- review, and possibly alter the rating of players who self-rate below or above their actual ability.
- move players and teams between skill level brackets if on verification the wrong event has been entered.
- 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 (ie. Fire drill etc).
The tournament director will merge or split events based on event registration.
Events with less than 4 players/teams will be merged with another event at the discretion of the TD.
The process for the merging of events is:
> Merge within age group first (for eg 65+ will be merged with 50+)
> Merge within skill level second, if option 1 is not a viable option.
All players affected by a merge, will be notified by email.
