NOTES:
EVENTS BELOW SEASONED PLAYERS CATEGORIES: For the purpose of this event, participation history in any Table Tennis Tournament organized at the Society / Community / School / College / University / Corporate / Club Levels are considered as below District Level.
GENDER NEUTRAL CATEGORIES: Since Table Tennis is not a body contact sport between the opponents, & because of a low number of female category votes in our WhatsApp group polls, we have kept the gender participation criteria as open & all inclusive for this event. This means that you & your opponent OR your team & your opponent team players can be of any gender combination. IF we see a good level of women participating in this event, we will plan & add more gender based categories in the next event.
MORE AGE GROUP BASED CATEGORIES: IF we see a good level of 40 & UP aged players participating in this event, we will plan & add more age group based categories in the next event.
AGE CALCULATION FOR THIS EVENT: All players in each category must be within the above clearly mentioned applicable age range as on the Tournament Date: PENDING ANNOUNCEMENT.
Process of identifying + eliminating Criteria Violators:
APPLICABLE ONLY FOR THE COMMON ENTHUSIASTS CATEGORIES:
1> The event organizer will collect & upload Game Category wise list of each participant's full legal name + birth year + a photo linked on this page before the event starts.
2> With each category's participants list we will have an online complaint form attached where anyone can submit an honest evidence backed complaint for criteria violation.
3> If the evidence is good enough to eliminate a player, the accused player will be eliminated with a 0 fee refund & the first complainant to provide such credible evidence will be rewarded with 50% of the criteria violator's form fee.
We will not disclose the name of any complainant to protect them from any harassment from the criteria violators.
4> The organizer publicly welcomes all our supporting coaches, players, participants & the larger public to search & identify & eliminate any & all criteria violators for ensuring a fair sporting event in line with the clearly defined participation criteria.
5> Hearsay / rumors & word of mouths are not considered as any sensible evidence of criteria violation because in that case anyone can accuse everyone. In cases where we do not find any clear evidence of criteria violation, there would be no reward given to any complainant & the organizer may choose to ignore the complaints as baseless allegations OR respectfully eliminate the accused with a full fee refund due to lack of any criteria violation evidence.
Penalties for Criteria Violators:
1> Criteria violators detected before the event starts will be eliminated without any fee refund.
2> Criteria violators who remain defiant & lie after being politely confronted will be publicly named & shamed.
3> Criteria violators detected after the event starts OR even after the event ends will have to pay a refund of the entire participation fees to EACH & EVERY single opponent they faced in this event + they will be publicly named & shamed.
NOTE: To avoid getting caught in such messy situation(s), please triple check your & your teammates ages as on the event date & your past participation history carefully & honestly before filling any participation form or paying any fees to us. We do not want your participation form or money in a hurry, please read everything carefully & help us conduct a good, cultured, sporting event in true sportsmanship spirit.
TOURNAMENT SPECIFICATIONS:
1> BRING YOUR OWN TABLE TENNIS RACQUET : THE 2 SIDES MUST BE OF DIFFERENT COLORS.
2> Barefoot / slippers / loose footwear is not allowed : You must be wearing a proper shoe.
