No-Show Defaults: If a player does not send written notice that
they will need to default a match, to the Tournament Director at
least one hour before the date and time of the scheduled match, the
defaulting player will receive 5 Suspension Points.
NTRP TX Sanctioned players are required to Self Rate, if they have
no rating. If a player enters and plays a TX Sanctioned tournament
levels division with a "0.0" rating, they will be notified that
Self Ratings are now required for play in levels divisions in Texas

a levels division in a second sanctioned tournament without a self
rating will receive an automatic 30 day suspension and any points
earned from those tournaments will be removed.
Round Robin draws: a player who is defaulted for any reason other
than lateness shall not play in subsequent matches. If a player or
team defaults, they will not be allowed to play the Rounds
following that defaulted match, and if subsequent matches are
played, those matches will not count towards rankings.
