 Rules, Code, and Terms/Conditions

All the Championship events will be played to WESPA Rules V5.1 or the latest version of the Rules at the time of the championships. Some slight variations may apply for the WTSC due to its nature and format, as there has not been a concrete set of WESPA Rules governing team championships in the past. However, whatever changes that may apply will be communicated to the WESPA Committee well ahead of the WTSC for review and approval.

By registering for the WTSC and WESPA Championships, you agree to abide by the tournament rules and any WESPA Code of Conduct.

Games at this tournament - probably the top WTSC & WESPAC boards without a Gibsonized player - will be annotated and/or streamed live. If you refuse to play a designated game with annotation or streaming, you will forfeit it and may at the director s discretion be assigned a spread penalty of 200 points.

Changes

The Local Organizing Committee reserves the right to modify the above to account for unforeseen special circumstances.
