League Policies
Contrary to popular myth, Compliance Teams do not roam the halls of a tournament looking for rule violations. All Compliance actions begin with questions (referred to as queries) which come from other tournament participants. Sometimes the questions are simply about whether something is covered in the rules or about what a rule means, and most of these questions are answered from our published competition and judge guides.
Of course, some questions are about whether the words or actions of a competitor violated a rule. In this case, the Compliance Team must rely on statements, interviews, and documents to gather information about a situation they did not personally witness. Most “calls to Compliance” arise from the fact that Compliance Teams need to gather information to answer a question.
