4 - Floor People

Floor People are to provide supervision and are to consider the technical rules for the best interest of the game and its players. Their role is to provide knowledge and rulings regarding the technical rules in any discrepancies that may occur and are to use fairness as their top priority in the decision-making process. Floor People must act in a fair manner and remain neutral to all players.

On occasion, unusual circumstances may arise that may dictate decisions in the interest of fairness and will take priority over the technical rules. Floor People have the authority to impose penalties and make rulings. In certain situations, the Floor Person will bring a discrepancy to the attention of the Tournament Directorfor clarity. A player has the right to appeal a ruling to the highest authority in the room. The decision of the highest authority in the room will be final.
