⚖️ ELIGIBILITY & PLAYER RESPONSIBILITIES

Player Responsibility

Players are solely responsible for verifying their own eligibility and ensuring that they meet all applicable tournament participation requirements before registering.

Organiser's Disclaimer

The Tournament Director and organiser are not responsible for verifying or guaranteeing a player's eligibility before participation. Registration does not constitute confirmation that a player meets all eligibility requirements.

Player Protests & Investigations

If a participant reports another player's potential ineligibility and provides sufficient, credible, and verifiable supporting evidence, the organiser reserves the right to investigate the matter.

Ineligible Registration

If a player is found to be ineligible or to have registered in violation of the tournament rules, the organiser reserves the right to disqualify the player or team.

No Refund Policy: Registration fees will not be refunded where disqualification results from a player's ineligibility, misrepresentation, or breach of the tournament rules.

📊 DUPR ELIGIBILITY & INTEGRITY RULES

To maintain a fair and competitive playing environment, all participants must comply with the following DUPR integrity requirements.

1. Declaration of Social DUPR Games

Any social DUPR games played within the three months preceding the registration date must be declared to the organiser. Failure to disclose such games may result in disqualification.

2. DUPR Verification

The organiser reserves the right to conduct DUPR verification and eligibility checks before and during the tournament.

3. Rating Integrity

Players suspected of DUPR manipulation, rating manipulation, sandbagging, or intentionally maintaining an inaccurate rating may be subject to investigation and disqualification where a violation is established.

4. Official Player List

The official player list will be published two weeks before the tournament to allow participants to review entries and raise eligibility concerns within the designated protest period.

5. Who May Submit a Protest

Only participants registered in the relevant category may submit a protest concerning another player's DUPR eligibility.

6. Protest Requirements

All protests must include the reporter's name and relevant supporting information or evidence to facilitate verification by the organiser.

7. Confidentiality

The identity of the reporter will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to the reported player, subject to applicable legal or procedural requirements.

8. Reporting Suspicious Activity

Participants are encouraged to report suspicious DUPR activity, rating irregularities, or potential manipulation through the official organiser channels.

The organiser's decision regarding DUPR eligibility, protests, and tournament integrity shall be final, subject to applicable tournament rules.

• Protests submitted after the deadline will not be entertained, except in exceptional circumstances at the organiser's discretion.
• Once the protest period closes, player eligibility and the tournament draw will be treated as final for administrative purposes.
• The deadline does not prevent the organiser from investigating or taking appropriate action if new evidence of DUPR manipulation, fraud, or eligibility violations emerges after the deadline.

All participants are encouraged to review the official player list carefully and submit any concerns within the stipulated period.

By registering for the tournament, participants acknowledge and agree to comply with the tournament rules, eligibility requirements, and DUPR integrity policies.
