As last year no slippage can be allowed in the timetable and, as last year, games will have to start on time. The Tournament time will be as per the clock in the MC’s tent.
Each team will be assigned a Marshal who will be one of two assigned to each pool assist with getting the teams to the right place at the right time. Introductions of Team Leaders to their Pool Marshals will be done after the briefing.
EACH CAPTAIN, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE POOL MARSHAL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING HIS/HER TEAM TO THE RIGHT PITCH AT THE RIGHT TIME. GAMES WILL START WHETHER OR NOT ALL PLAYERS ARE PRESENT.
Every game will start at the designated time. Even if some members are absent, the game will go ahead. If all the team members are absent, the opponents will be given a walk-over and 3 points. If no one turns up for a designated match, neither side will get a point. Remember even if you lose you get a point!
Scoring
Win = Three points Draw = Two points Lose = One point
Regardless of the score margin between the winner and the loser on the pitch.
