In the event of a dispute the decision of the committee will be final. Any unacceptable standard of behaviour by a player can result in disqualification from the tournament. In any dispute both checkers and dice are to be left untouched and a member of the tournament committee called. They will then give a ruling. Spectators must observe complete silence during matches.
Spectators have no right to draw attention to any misplays or make any comment on plays.
If such a case arises the offended player has the right to request the Committee to give a ruling. Any proven signalling between player and spectator will result in the player's instant disqualification from the Tournament. The spectator will suffer the same penalty. The question of whether byes should or should not be allocated to seeded players will be left to the discretion of the Tournament Committee. The official Tournament language is English.
