Concurrent Tournament Rule
When entries close, a player shall not be entered in two or more
sanctioned tournaments if any parts of the tournaments overlap, unless
each Tournament Committee involved understands the situation and concurs
in writing. If entries for the overlapping tournaments close on
different dates, approval must be received from all Tournament
Committees no later than the entry closing date that occurs last.
Players who enter a tournament and play it to completion, may then enter
another tournament with overlapping dates without permission. A player
who is on the alternate list in one tournament is not considered in
violation of the Concurrent Tournament Rule if they enter another
concurrent tournament. Players who violate the Concurrent Tournament Rule shall forfeit all ranking points earned at the concurrent tournaments.
