Rules - Changes

To decide positions
In case of a deadlock in positions (based on points) at the end of the RR stage, we have decided to follow the policy of our brethren - the ATP - which is printed below. Clarifications available from organizers on payment of Rs.100/- per clarification.

In case of 2 players on the same points then the winner of the round robin match between the 2 will be given the higher position.

In case of 3 or more players tied on the same points at the end of the RR stage the games win:loss ratio would be used to determine the standings

In case of forfeits


In case of a forfeit before a match starts, the benefiting player is awarded the win + 2 points - however this would not be counted when calculating the win:loss ratio of games (if required)

In case of a forfeit during a match the benefiting player will be awarded the win + 2 points and the score when the match stopped would be used to calculate the win:loss ratio of games (if required)

Balls

At the time of going to press it was learnt that Wilson had won the contract to supply the match balls - Wilson Championships it is reliably learnt.
