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.
