General:
-
A
technical committee
will be introduced by the match coordinator at the
beginning of the tournament. The technical
committee will compose of Chief Referee,
Chief Organizer and Match Coordinator. The
committee can be tapped by the players
before/during/after a match/s for
reporting and getting a resolution for any
issues/disputes that may arise. Match
Coordinator will be the final and
overriding authority in case of any
unresolved issues and disputes.
-
The format adopted for the tournament
will not be altered at any stage
of the tournament. However in
extraordinary circumstances technical
committee under the stewardship of the
match coordinator can make a decision to
alter the format only in a no other
option situation. The committee should
keep in mind that changing the format in
the middle of the tournament will
ultimately
affect the
natural
flow of the results
and there by compromising the position/plans/spirit of the players.
-
Boards will be selected and
marked well in advance
by the match coordinator for the Group-A
Knock Out stage for both Singles and
Doubles. This will avoid any bias the
players may exhibit when choosing the
board/s on which they play for the
knock-out matches.
-
Player not reporting at the venue within
five minutes
after the time buzzer is started for a SRR
round may be given a
walkover against
him/her if the opponent requests for a
walkover and the technical committee
agrees.
-
Alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited
before or during a match.
-
Chief Referee will
appoint referees
for Semifinal and Final for Group-A
knockout matches. Such an appointment is
based on the availability of knowledgeable
players.
-
The
Lunch Time will be for at least 35 minutes.
