IMPT: Monday Withdrawal Rule Remains in Effect in 2018 - Please Read
In 2018, the Monday 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 (8/19) at 6pm for Monday (8/20) 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. This rule has to do with ranking points, not suspension points. Please see the 2 pt withdrawal rule posted above regarding withdrawals after Wednesday, August 15th at Noon.

Doubles Registration
Players may register with or without a partner. Those who register with a partner must indicate their partner through the online registration system before the entry deadline. Players will need to correctly identify their doubles partner during their initial registration process or they may go back later, prior to the entry deadline, and “Edit Registration” to indicate their partner of choice. Correct doubles registration is the player’s responsibility. Immediately after registration, players need to check the Applicant List to ensure they are registered with their partner of choice (and their partner is also registered with them). Remaining individual players will be paired up based on the order of their Singles UTRs. There will be a 24 hour doubles pairing period after the deadline for players to correct any errors in their doubles registration.
