IMPT: Withdrawal Rule Remains in Effect in 2018 - Please Read
In 2018, the Monday/Tuesday Withdrawal Rule for Super Champ Designated Tournaments will remain in effect. For this tournament, players are required to inform the tournament desk or tournament director the day before of their intent not to complete their matches on the last day of the tournament. This must occur no later than 6pm Sunday for tournaments that end on Monday, or 6pm Monday for tournaments that end on Tuesday, or within 15 minutes of completing their final match of the day (whichever is later). For this tournament, all players must inform the director by Sunday (3/11) at 6pm for Monday (3/12) matches. The tournament director will inform the opponent immediately of any withdrawals. Players who pull out after Sunday at 6pm will have their match coded as a withdrawal and will receive no points for their wins in that tournament. If a player gets injured or ill after that 6pm deadline and they think it's important to "keep their points" they (the player) will need to physically show up on Monday morning and pull out in person at the tournament desk in order to have that match coded a walkover and retain their points.
