Attention Players
Pool takes precedence
over smoking!
Please remember we have timelines set in place
in order to make the event run in a timely
manner. Holding up matches to take smoke
breaks not only delays your match, but all of the
matches following yours. We will not tolerate
matches held up because teams/players are not
in the arena due to taking smoke breaks. Players
caught taking their scoresheets outside of the
Tournament Room, or delaying their match for
such breaks will result in a forfeiture of their
match. Team Captains must be responsible for
their players during match times.
