CAQ POLICY ON UNAUTHORISED WITHDRAWALS 


 I think it is fair to say that one of the biggest banes of organisers and arbiters alike is when players decide to not show for their final round games without at least informing the arbiter that they will not be present for the final round so the arbiter can at least take that player out of the draw. 

Not only is this type of behaviour selfish and in poor form, but it is also against the unauthorised withdrawal policy of the CAQ, which states:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unauthorised Withdrawals:

d) Withdrawals. Any player who has completed the first round of any tournament shall not withdraw from that tournament without approval from the organiser or DOP. A player whose withdrawal has not been approved by the organiser or DOP will be regarded as an unapproved withdrawer. In such cases one or more of the following penalties may be applied:-

- listing as an unapproved withdrawer in CAQ newsletters and/or web site
- and/or suspension from the CAQ
The secretary may request a verbal or written explanation in determining the appropriate course of action

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Players who do not show for a tournament round without prior explanation can expect a please explain letter in the mail from the CAQ Council asking why they failed to show for their tournament game and why one of the above listed actions should not be taken.
