DELAYS

- If you are unavoidably detained and it appears that you will not arrive in time for your game/match, please contact the Tournament Director. We may be able to adjust the schedule and consider options but your game may result in a forfeit.

If you are more than 10 minutes late for your game your result may be a forfeit!

PAA are commencing an Australia Rankings (AR) system across Australia. This will be available for players to receive ranking at all State Championships. The events will be all "Open" and "Advanced" events with the initials "AR" in the event title.

At this point of time in Western Australia our members ratings are not yet at a mature point therefore we have named the skill in events as "Novice", "Intermediate" and "Advanced". The skill level selected must be that of the most highest player in the team.

Please carefully consider your skill level, as the Tournament Officials will know the majority of players and will reserve the right, with consultation, to reallocate players into skill levels that reflects their skill level.

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.

- merge or split brackets based on event registration. 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 (ie. Fire drill, Covid restrictions, etc).

PLEASE NOTE:

- Skill Levels: For Doubles, you must sign up at the skill level of the higher rated partner.

Refunds are available up until the close of registration but will incur a $5 service fee.

No refunds will be offered once registration is closed.
