Spoiler
- Players must not divulge details of opponents location in fog games. Players can however refer to information provided in the game log. If fog information is divulged then the player(s) concerned may be ejected from the tournament
Spoiler
- At the Tournament End Time, unfilled games will be dropped. Games that have already started will continue and count towards the tournament scoring.
The Tournament End Time may be extended in the event of a suitable Assistant Tournament Organiser being signed-up (and therefore able to continue creating games after the TO's bed-time).
Spoiler
Players must inform the tournament organiser if they have a regular partner or opponent that is also featuring in the tournament. The organizer can then ensure these players do not play together to avoid any potential claims of foul play by other players.
If reports of suspected foul play are made and the players in question have not declared that they are regular partners / opponents then they will be both be ejected from the tournament without question or the need for irrefutable evidence.

Spoiler
- As the tournament organiser, I retain the right to amend rules. If I feel that something needs changing then I have the right to do if it's fair to everybody and is in the benefit of the tournament.
