League Policies
Our fundamental assumption in all compliance situations is the belief that our affiliates value and intend to follow our rules. We also recognize that violations of our rules will occur and must be adjudicated with as much accuracy and speed as possible to ensure a level playing field and allow our tournaments to operate on schedule; therefore, we are committed to consistent protocols for investigating queries about rule and policy infractions and responding in a consistent, fair, and timely manner.
We do not make negative assumptions or attempt to evaluate the intent of participants who are involved in compliance queries or who are found to be out of compliance with our rules or policies.Â
We will apply appropriate penalties when violations of our published rules or policies are identified and confirmed by the appropriate members of our League Authority Structure. When concerns not covered in our rules or policies arise, we may elect to discuss the situation with individuals involved and ask for an adjustment in behavior.
