Penalty for causing inconvenience
To create and maintain a conducive environment for all players, there will be penalty points given based on several offences.
Players have to serve the following penalties when they have accumulated a total of 5 penalty points.
- Serving 1 sit-out
- Remain as the least priority for partial registration* to be accepted
*Refers to registration for session that will result in no sit-outs
For different severity of the offences, the penalty points will be dictated as below.
| Penalty Pts | Offence |
| 1 | Late for more than 5 minutes. (Partially Registered players only) |
| 2 | Late for more than 10 minutes. (Caused sit outs) |
| 3 | Late for more than 20 minutes. (Caused sit outs) |
| 2~3 | Cancellation of registration after registration period |
| 4 | Cancellation of registration after registration period (Caused sit outs) |
| 4 | Failure to commit to all games (Caused sit outs) |
| 5 | Cancellation of registration after registration period (Caused cancellation of session) |
| 5 | Registered but did not turn up |
| 5 | Failure to commit to a game (Left in the middle of Han-Chan) |
*The above penalty will be incurred if you have caused such inconvenience. Inconvenience refers to causing sit out and incompletion of game. Hence, it will be a very result-orientated penalty as I focus to prevent causing inconvenience to members as much as possible.
**Even if there is only 2 player sit-out as of when the game starts, 2 registered players being late for at least 20 minutes will still be penalized as it is possible to fill up a table with the 2 latecomers.
Players’ penalty point will be reset to 0, 2 years after the last offence committed.
To avoid all complications. Do the simple things.
1. Register on time
2. Come on time
