   TOURNAMENT PLAY

   1. Play part of a prized event for another user's account. Players who share accounts may do so in prized events only, not Cash Events if one person is playing on the account from start to finish.
      Cash events must be played by the account owner, only. Players found breaking this rule could receive a ban and be banned from participating in any other Cash Events.
      Players can only enter Cash Prize Events with their highest-rated account.
      Players must complete, in Cash Events, all their semi and final frames in order to receive their prize.
      Intentional slow play in any Tournament will result in a ban. (see below  DELAYING TOURNAMENTS BY SLOW PLAY OR QUITTING A GAME BEFORE IT ENDS)
      Playing in more than one Tournament at the same time is not allowed. Entering one Tournament with more than one name is also not allowed. If we find players doing so, they will be disqualified from the Event and receive a 1-week ban.
      Playing in any Tournament Lobby and any normal lobby at the same time is not allowed.
      Players who reset their rating will not be allowed to enter Cash Events during the month of their reset.
      Play on your partner's account in a Doubles Tournament at any time. This will result in a week's ban.

   2. DELAYING TOURNAMENTS BY SLOW PLAY OR QUITTING A GAME BEFORE IT ENDS
      Players found deliberately holding up tournaments by taking too long to play their shot (i.e. shot times in excess of 1 min., continuously, may receive a warning for delay of game. Should this persist and a Moderator / Admin witnesses this, a ban may be issued after the warning if the trend continues.
      Players who quit their frame/tourney, before it ended and it causes a bug, may receive a warning. Should this persist, a ban may be issued after the warning, if the trend continues. So it's best to wait until the frame/tourney has ended
