SPECIAL NOTICE
1. Do not leave the event without checking to see if you are in or out of the tournament! This is particularly a problem in POOL PLAY, as there is an issue in the software that has not been modified to address the NEW rule on how to determine tie-breaking in a 3-team tie. The software is currently INCORRECT in how it is calculated, and tournament workers must MANUALLY advance players from POOL PLAY to BRACKET PLAY in this 3-way tie situation. IF YOU LEAVE WITHOUT CHECKING, and you are subsequently ADDED to the bracket, WE WILL NOT wait for you to return, but forfeit your match. Thank you for your understanding!
