1. 2. Stage Session Introduction
      1. Open Qualifiers:

Starting July 10, the 2025 Legendary Cup Open Qualifiers will be available in-game for all players on the server. This Open Qualifiers is divided into three stages. Each stage will feature four tracks where players must use officially provided, standardized cars (Max ECU and all Parts at Level 5) to compete. Rankings will be based on the total time across all tracks.

The first stage runs from July 10 to July 18.

The second stage runs from July 13 to July 18.

The third stage runs from July 16 to July 18.

At the end of the Open Qualifiers, the top 2,048 players on the leaderboard will advance to the Knockout Stage. Additionally, the top 2,048 players from the Ranked Race leaderboard as of 23:59:59 on July 18 will also qualify, for a total of 4,096 players.

If a player qualifies through both the Open Qualifiers and the Ranked Race leaderboards, their spot from the Open Qualifiers will be prioritized. The Ranked Race spot will then be passed down to the 2,049th player, and so on.

1. 1. 2. Knockout Stage:

During this stage, players will continue to compete individually in-game within the specified time.

Based on Open Qualifiers results and Ranked Race tiers, the 4,096 players will be divided into 128 large groups of 32. After three rounds of 8-player free-for-all races and two rounds of 4-player free-for-all races, 128 players will advance to the Promotion stage.

1) Round 1 (4,096 to 2,048): Within each large group of 32, players will be split into smaller groups of 8 for a free-for-all race. Each small group will complete six tracks in one session, earning points based on their rank in each race. The top 4 from each small group will advance to the next round.

2) Round 2 (2,048 to 1,024): The remaining 16 players in each large group will be split into smaller groups of 8 for a free-for-all race. Each small group will complete six tracks in one session, earning points based on their rank in each race. The top 4 from each small group will advance to the next round.

3) Round 3 (1,024 to 512): The remaining 8 players in each large group will compete in a free-for-all race. Each group will complete six tracks in one session, earning points based on their rank in each race. The top 4 from each group will advance to the next round.

4) Round 4 (512 to 256): The remaining 4 players in each large group will compete in a free-for-all race. Each group will complete six tracks in one session, earning points based on their rank in each race. The top 2 from each group will advance to the next round.

5) Round 5 (256 to 128): A total of 4 players from adjacent large groups will form a small group for a free-for-all race. They will complete six tracks in one session, earning points based on their rank in each race. The top 2 from each small group will advance to the Promotion stage.

1. 1. 3. Promotion:

The 128 qualifying players will receive an in-game mail with a questionnaire to confirm participation and submit required information. Players must also pay attention to notifications on all channels to contact tournament staff in a timely manner.

If a player fails to submit their information or contact tournament staff by 24:00 on July 25, they will be considered to have forfeited their spot. The spot will then be offered to the third- and fourth-place players from the fifth round of the Knockout Stage as replacements.

If a replacement player also fails to submit their information or contact tournament staff by 24:00 on July 25, they will also be considered to have forfeited, and their corresponding match will be treated as a walkover.

This stage will be manually organized by referees. Participants must submit a passport or ID and must be of adult age on or before July 25 to be eligible (the age of majority is determined by the participant's country). Players must log into the official server to compete as instructed by the referee.

After confirming participation, the 128 players will be divided into 8 large groups of 16 based on their total points from the three rounds of the Knockout Stage. Players who forfeit will still be placed in groups according to their Knockout Stage results for bracketing purposes.

Round 1 (Top 128 to Top 64) [July 26 - July 28]: Within each large group of 16, players will be split into smaller groups of 4 for a free-for-all race. Each small group will race on 3 tracks, and the top two from each small group, based on points per race, will advance.

Round 2 (Top 64 to Top 32) [July 30 - July 31]: The remaining 8 players in each large group will be split into smaller groups of 4 for a free-for-all race. Each small group will race on 3 tracks, and the top two from each small group, based on points per race, will advance.

Round 3 (Top 32 to Top 16) [August 1]: Two adjacent large groups will be cross-grouped Large (Group 1A 1st + Large Group 1B 2nd + Large Group 2B 1st + Large Group 2A 2nd). The newly formed groups of 4 will compete in a free-for-all race. Each group will race on 3 tracks, and the top two, based on points per race, will advance.

Round 4 (Top 16 to Top 8) [August 2]: Players will be cross-grouped with a one-large-group interval (Large Group 1 1st + Large Group 3 2nd) / (Large Group 2 1st + Large Group 4 2nd) / (Large Group 3 1st + Large Group 1 2nd, Large Group 4 1st + Large Group 2 2nd).

The remaining two players in each large group will compete in a 1v1 Bo5 match.

Round 5 (Top 8 to Top 4) [August 3]: A 3-game Ranked Race with all 8 players will determine the A/B groupings. Groups A and B will then each play a 6-game series, and the top two from each group based on points will advance.

The match schedule is as follows (the start time of each match on a given day may be adjusted based on the conclusion of the previous match; please refer to the referee's announcements):

1. 1. 4. Finals:

The top 4 players must confirm within 24 hours of the end of the Promotion stage whether they can attend the offline event. If a player cannot attend, their spot will be passed on to the next eligible player (based on the results of the Top 16 Open Qualifiers).

The final 4 players will compete offline on August 23, participating in group semifinals, the Battle For Third Place, and the championship match to vie for the Legendary Cup title. The regional champion will also compete in an honorary match against champions from other regional servers (Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan).

1. 3. Competition Location:

For all stages except the Finals, there are no location restrictions. Players should find a suitable environment to compete online. During the Promotion stage, players are not permitted to change their competition location.

1. 4. Competition Device:

During the competition, to ensure fairness and a smooth process, changing devices may trigger a security protection mechanism that could prevent you from launching the game. If a player must change devices due to special circumstances, they must submit a change request to the referee team at least 1 day in advance and receive confirmation before proceeding. If a player fails to apply in advance or makes a last-minute request during the event and is unable to compete as a result, the player will be held solely responsible.

For the Finals, devices will be provided by the organizer. Players may not use any personal devices or peripherals.

 

2. Competition Rules
   1. Game Account

All players will use their official server accounts to compete within the specified time. After the top 128 are determined, referees will contact and guide the players.

1. 2. Definitions

A "game" refers to a single race within a match, whether it's one game in a Bo3 or Bo5, or a single race in a points-based competition.

A "match" refers to a series composed of multiple games, including Best-of-3 (Bo3), Best-of-5 (Bo5), or other formats where the winner is determined by cumulative points.

Bo5 (Best-of-5): A pair of opponents plays up to 5 games in a series. The first to win three games is the victor.

Bo7 (Best-of-7): A pair of opponents plays up to 7 games in a series. The first to win four games is the victor.

Ultimate Duel (Bo7): When the score is tied at 3:3, a special overtime rule is activated. Players will continue to race until one player achieves a 2-game lead, at which point they win the match.

Points Race: Refers to a match where players compete in multiple games per round and earn points based on their placement in each game. The final outcome (advancement or victory) is determined by the total accumulated points.

Priority Pick: Before the match, a priority race will be held on a designated track [Barcelona Mountain Speed] with a designated car [Pagani Huayra]. The winner gets to choose the track for the first game of the round, and the loser chooses the car pool. In subsequent games, the loser of the previous game chooses the track, and the winner chooses the car pool.

Car Group: Refers to the three major car categories in the event: "Standard," "Sports," and "Extreme." Each player must select a car from the appropriate group and car pool as specified.

Car Pool: Refers to the specific range of Legendary cars available for selection in each stage of the event, including all Legendary cars within "Car Pool 1" to "Car Pool 3" (see the Car Pool list below for details). Players must select their cars from the designated car pool according to the event rules.

1. 3. Room Race Settings

Track Laps: Non-point-to-point circuit tracks are set to 2 laps. Point-to-point tracks are set to 1 lap.

Ghosting Setting: Set to [Normal]. Ghosting is only set to [Off] for the 1v1 priority pick race.

Performance Limit: [Max ECU] and [All Parts at Level 5] will be used for all stages.

Driving Assist Limit: Driving assists are prohibited throughout the entire competition.

Chase Limit: Catch-up is enabled.

Slipstream Limit: The effect of car slipstream will be significantly weaker than in regular Ranked Races.

Wall Collision Slowdown: The effect where you rub up against wall to decelerate is set to maximum (even minor collisions will cause a significant speed reduction).

1. 4. Race Mode
      1. Knockout Stage (Five matches, Top 4,096 to Top 128):

Game: The system will automatically create the race room 30 minutes before the match starts and notify the players in that room. Players must enter the room on time through the competition interface. Each match consists of a six-game points race. Points for each game are determined by the finishing rank. After six games, players are ranked by total points from highest to lowest. In case of a tie in points, the player with the shorter total time across the six games will be ranked higher.

Track: The system will randomly select from the 12 Open Qualifiers tracks before each game. A track will not be repeated within the same match.

Ranking	Points
1	9
2	7
3	5
4	4
5	3
6	2
7	1
8	0
Tiebreak	The player with the shortest total lap time across multiple maps in the round wins.

Cars: The six games will use car groups in the order of Standard -> Sports -> Extreme -> Standard -> Sports -> Extreme. The car pool is automatically assigned by the system (see Car Pool Restrictions below). Each car can only be used once during the six-game points race.

 

1. 1. 2. Promotion - 4-Player Free-for-All Stage (Five matches, Top 128 to Top 4):

Game: This stage will be manually organized by referees. Players will be divided into small groups of 4 for a free-for-all race. Players must enter the room on time through the competition interface. Each match consists of a three-game points race. Points for each game are determined by finishing rank. After three games, players are ranked by total points from highest to lowest. In case of a tie in points, the player with the shorter total time across the three games will be ranked higher.

Track: The system will randomly select from 3-star to 5-star difficulty tracks before each game. Tracks will not be repeated within a match and will exclude the following designated tracks:

Numbers	Banned Tracks
1	All Persian Gulf Regions
2	Indianapolis Inner Loop 2
3	Indianapolis New Mini Reverse
4	Tokyo: Inner Shinkansen (Half)
5	Tokyo: Outer Shinkansen (Half)

 

Cars: The three games will use car groups in the order of Standard -> Sports -> Extreme. The car pool will be determined by a player vote held the day before the match. All three games will use the car pool that receives the most votes. (In case of a tie, the referee will make a random selection).

If a group has fewer than 2 players due to forfeits, the match for that group will not be held, and the remaining player(s) will advance directly. If the group has 2 or more players, the match will proceed as scheduled.

 

 

 

Ranking	Points

Tiebreak	The player with the shortest total lap time across multiple maps in the round wins.

 

1. 1. 3. Promotion - Top 16 to Top 8 Bo5 Duel Stage:

Game: The Top 16 players will be grouped and compete in 1v1 Bo5 matches. The winner of each game is determined by in-game results. The match ends once a player wins three games; subsequent games will not be played.

Before the Bo5 begins, the referee will randomly designate one player to choose the track (from the same range as the system's random pool) and the other player to choose the car pool. In subsequent games, the loser of the previous game will choose the track, and the winner will choose the car pool.

Both track and car group selections must be communicated to the referee within 3 minutes of the previous game's conclusion. Failure to do so will result in a forfeited choice, and the referee will randomly assign the car group and track.

1. 1. 4. Promotion - Top 8 to Top 4, A/B Group 4-Player Free-for-All:

Game: Based on Ranked Race placements, players 1-4-5-8 will form Group A, and players 2-3-6-7 will form Group B.

Each group will compete in a six-game, 4-player free-for-all. The car groups will be used in the order of Standard -> Sports -> Extreme -> Standard -> Sports -> Extreme. Points for each game are determined by finishing rank. After six games, in the event of a tie in points, the player with the shorter total time will be ranked higher. After six games, the top two players from each group based on total points will advance.

Ranking	Points
1	9
2	7
3	5
4	4
Tiebreak	The player with the shortest total lap time across multiple maps in the round wins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Track: The system will randomly select from 3-star to 5-star difficulty tracks before each game. Tracks will not be repeated within a match and will exclude the following designated tracks:

Numbers	Banned Tracks
1	All Persian Gulf Regions
2	Indianapolis Inner Loop 2
3	Indianapolis New Mini Reverse
4	Tokyo: Inner Shinkansen (Half)
5	Tokyo: Outer Shinkansen (Half)

 

Cars: The three games will use car groups in the order of Standard -> Sports -> Extreme. The car pool will be determined by a player vote after the groups are formed. All six games will use the car pool that receives the most votes. (In case of a tie, the referee will make a random selection).

 

1. 1. 5. Offline Regional Finals - Top 4 to Top 2 Bo5 Duel:

Game: Two 1v1 matches will be held in a cross-group format: Group A 1st vs. Group B 2nd, and Group B 1st vs. Group A 2nd. Each match is a best-of-five, and the winner of each game is determined by their in-game rank. The match ends once one player has won three games; subsequent games will not be played. The two winners will advance to the Championship Match, while the two losers will proceed to the Battle For Third Place.

Track and Car Pool: Before the Bo5 starts, a priority race will be held on the designated track [Barcelona Mountain Speed] with the designated car [Pagani Huayra]. The winner gets to choose the track for the first game of the Bo5 (from the same range as the system's random pool), and the loser chooses the car group. For subsequent games, the loser of the previous game chooses the track, and the winner chooses the car group.

Both track and car pool selections must be communicated to the referee within 3 minutes of the previous game's conclusion. Failure to do so will result in a forfeited choice, and the referee will randomly assign the track and car pool.

1. 1. 6. Offline Regional Finals - Battle For Third Place, Championship Match Bo7 + Ultimate Duel, and Final Honorary Match:

Game: The Battle For Third Place (Bo7) will be held first, followed by the Championship Match (Bo7). Both matches are 1v1 best-of-seven. The first player to win 4 games with at least a 2-game lead wins. Otherwise, the match continues.

Car Pool: The car set follows a rotation sequence of Standard - Sports - Extreme - Standard - Sports - Extreme.

If the score reaches 6:6, the player who wins the next game is the victor. All other rules are the same as the Top 4 to Top 2 Bo5. Finally, the Final Honorary Match will be held, featuring the 4 champions from the different regions. The match will use an elimination format, where the last-place player in each race is eliminated, until only one champion remains. Each player will have one elimination protection opportunity during the match (i.e., they will be eliminated the second time they finish in last place).

Each participating account must correspond to a single player. A single player may not use multiple qualifying accounts to compete, nor may multiple players use the same account. If a player is found to have participated multiple times or multiple players are found to have used the same account, both the player(s) and the account(s) will be disqualified, and all results will be voided.

1. 3. Top 4 Player Information Confirmation:

After the offline Top 4 are determined, they must confirm with the tournament organizer within 24 hours whether they can attend the offline event and communicate travel information. If they cannot attend, their spot will be passed on to the next eligible player (based on the results of the Top 16 Open Qualifiers).

1. 4. Age:

Starting from the Promotion Stage, all participants must be of adult age (the age of majority is determined by the participant's country) and possess a passport or national ID on or before July 25 to be eligible. Participants will need to submit an original document, such as their national ID, driving license, and passport to prove their age. Any other proof will not be accepted.

1. 5. Player Nickname Information:

Player nicknames must be consistent with their in-game names.

In-game nicknames and player names must not contain vulgar, pornographic, obscene, terrifying, violent, gambling-related, or other content that violates laws, regulations, policies, public order, or good morals, or content that is contrary to the spirit of "Racing Master." IDs also cannot contain sponsor information. Players must have a name that complies with event regulations. Each player's name must be distinct. In cases where nicknames are too similar, the tournament officials have the right to require a player or players to change their name.

If two players with the same ID participate in the competition, they must coordinate with officials to find a solution. If a solution cannot be reached, neither player will be allowed to use that ID, and the tournament officials will require both parties to choose a new, compliant ID.

1. 6. Device Restrictions for the Competition:

During the Open Qualifiers, Knockout Stage, and Promotion Stage of this competition, there are no restrictions on device type. However, the use of a single device for multiple accounts (account sharing/boosting) is strictly prohibited at all times. Any violation will result in disqualification.

For the offline Finals, either an iPad Pro (M4 chip version) or an iPhone 16 Pro Max will be provided as the official competition device. Players must choose and confirm their device no later than the day before the competition begins. The device type cannot be changed on the day of the finals. Personal devices and peripherals are not allowed.

1. 7. Player Pre-Race Preparation:

Before the race, players must ensure the following are fully prepared:

> Confirm the battery, network status, and other conditions of their own competition device.

> Confirm their in-game settings.

> Confirm car customizations (liveries must not contain vulgar, pornographic, obscene, terrifying, violent, gambling-related, or other content that violates laws, regulations, policies, or public order, or content that is contrary to the spirit of "Racing Master." Using such a non-compliant livery will result in a forfeit.)

1. 8. Match Start Time:

Under normal circumstances, matches will begin at the scheduled time. If there are adjustments due to a previous match not having concluded, the referee will provide timely notice.

During the Promotion Stage, players must enter the game room 20 minutes before the match start time. If a player has not entered the room by the scheduled start time, they will be considered late. A tardiness of 10 minutes or more will be considered a forfeit.

1. 9.   Network Conditions:

During the online stages, players are responsible for preparing their own network connection for the competition. If a player falls behind due to their own network issues, the tournament committee reserves the right not to grant a rematch.

4. Pre-race Progress
   1. Session Modification:

The tournament committee has the right to decide whether to reschedule a day's events, adjust match dates, or otherwise modify the competition schedule. If the tournament committee modifies the schedule, it will notify all players as soon as possible.

1. 2. Race Sign-In (only for Promotion and Finals):

Participating players must contact the referee for online sign-in before the match begins. The sign-in window is 30 minutes before the scheduled match time. After signing in, players should remain contactable until the match starts.

1. 3. Game Room Creation:

Officials will determine the method for creating official game rooms.

The room will be automatically created by the system before the match starts. A notification will be sent to the players in that room 30 minutes before the match begins.

After a match officially starts, if the entire match has not concluded, players who log in mid-match can still receive notifications to join the room between games.    

Failure to participate in an entire match will be considered a forfeit, resulting in the loss of eligibility for subsequent matches.

1. 4. Referees (only for Promotion and Finals):

Referees are official personnel of the Racing Master Legendary Cup, responsible for adjudicating all competition-related issues that occur before, during, and immediately after a match. Their responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

> Verifying player identity before the match.

> Inspecting and monitoring player equipment and the competition area.

> Announcing the start of the match.

> Directing pauses and resumptions during the match.

> Issuing penalties for rule violations during the match.

> Confirming the end of the match and its results.

1. 5. Final Decision:

All decisions are finalized by the head referee based on the rules and an assessment of the situation. If a player disagrees with a ruling, they may file an appeal with the officials after the current game. Players must not interfere with the on-site referee or head referee while they are gathering information and making a judgment. If a referee makes an incorrect ruling, the decision can be changed. Officials may, at their discretion, review rulings during or after the match to determine if proper procedures were followed to ensure a fair decision. If proper procedures were not followed, officials reserve the right to overturn the referee's decision. Officials will always retain the final say on all rulings during the competition.

 

5. Race Progress
   1. Network Issues:

During the online stages, players are responsible for preparing their own network connection for the competition. If a player falls behind due to their own network issues, the tournament committee reserves the right not to grant a rematch.

1. 2. Unexpected Disconnection:

Starting from the Promotion Stage, if it is confirmed that multiple players have lost connection to the game due to client instability, the tournament committee has the right to order a rematch between the affected players.

1. 3. Intentional Disconnection:

If a player loses connection to the game due to their own actions (such as quitting the game) or issues with their online equipment (such as a power outage or device failure), the tournament committee reserves the right not to grant a rematch.

1. 4.  Major Penalties
      1. Bug

A bug is an error, flaw, failure, or fault that causes an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes game data and hardware to behave in unintended ways.

1. 1. 2. Continuable Bug

This refers to a bug that does not significantly affect or alter the competitive environment of the game. Such bugs can only be mitigated or their effects reduced by measures like restarting the client. Typically, when such a bug occurs, the game will proceed as normal. The tournament committee has the right to decide whether a rematch is necessary based on the bug's impact.

1. 1. 3. Hardware Failure

Hardware failure includes malfunctions of servers, competition devices, or peripherals. This does not include any hardware failure induced by a player. The tournament committee may rule on whether a hardware failure was caused by a player.

1. 1. 4. Severe Bug

A severe bug is one that, including unexpected hardware failures, significantly impairs the competitive ability of more than half of the players, substantially alters the game data or mechanics for more than half of the players, or makes it difficult for more than half of the players to continue the match due to some external environmental condition. When such a bug occurs, the tournament committee has the right to initiate a rematch procedure.

1. 1. 5. Bug Severity

For any bug that occurs during the course of the event, the tournament committee reserves the right to determine the severity level of the bug that has occurred.

1. 1. 6. Rematch Procedure

Only when a match is halted will officials consider a rematch, and officials have the right to determine if a halt condition has

been met.

The game will not be paused for player communication. Players are solely responsible for the consequences of any actions taken during communication.

If a player is found to be maliciously exploiting a bug, regardless of whether they gained an advantage, they will be disqualified from that game. If the match is being conducted through the in-game mini-event system, the tournament committee has the right to require both parties to conduct a rematch by creating a room directly in-game.

 

1. 5.  Race Appeals (only for Promotion and Finals)

During a competition, if there is no dispute from either player regarding a game, the result of that game is considered confirmed by both parties. If a player attempts to dispute the result of a game after a subsequent game has been played, the tournament committee has the right to not accept the appeal.

If a player disputes the result of a game, they may file an appeal with the tournament committee. The appeal process is to contact the on-duty referee within 3 minutes of the end of each game.

If an appeal is filed but the current match has not yet concluded, the match must be completed as normal before the appeal is addressed.

6. Player Conduct (only for Promotion and Finals)
   1. Livestream Coordination

During the competition, players must cooperate with referees and official staff to ensure the event proceeds smoothly and in an orderly manner. This includes cooperating with procedural elements such as on-air interviews.

If a player intentionally delays or disrupts the livestream process for personal reasons (e.g., refusing to start a game, quitting without cause), the referee has the right to issue a warning to the player and may even rule a forfeit for that round. In severe cases, the player will be disqualified and forfeit all prizes.

1. 2. Disrupting Behaviors

The following actions will be considered unfair play and will be penalized at the discretion of the tournament committee.

1. 1. 1. Collusion: Including, but not limited to, the following actions:

Fixing a match or not competing to a reasonable standard in the game. Pre-arranging the splitting of prize money and/or any other form of compensation. Intentionally losing a game for prize money or any other reason, or encouraging other players to do so.

1. 1. 2. Sandbagging and Penalties

The referee team has the right to review a player's lap times at any point to verify if the player is engaging in sandbagging. If the referee team determines that a player has been sandbagging, the player's eligibility to compete will be revoked, and they will forfeit all prizes from the competition.

1. 1. 3. Definition of Sandbagging

If, during the Promotion and Finals stages, any of a player's lap times are 10% or more slower than their historical lap times from the Open Qualifiers and Knockout Stage, the referee team has the right to rule it as sandbagging.

1. 1. 4. Competitive Integrity:

All players must uphold good sportsmanship at all times during the Legendary Cup, compete to the best of their ability, remain honest, and ensure the principle of fair play is not violated.

1. 1. 5. Hacking:

Hacking is defined as any modification of the "Racing Master" game client by any player, or by an individual acting on behalf of a player.

1. 1. 6. Exploiting:

Exploiting is defined as intentionally using any in-game bug to gain an advantage. Exploiting includes, but is not limited to, any game function identified by the tournament committee as not working as intended, and any action that violates the game's design intent.

1. 1. 7. Account Sharing:

Playing on another player's account or instigating, encouraging, or directing someone else to play on another player's account.

1. 1. 8. Cheating Methods:

Using any kind of cheating device and/or program, or any similar cheating method.

1. 1. 9. Intentional Disconnection:

Intentionally disconnecting from the game without a legitimate and clearly stated reason.

1. 2. 10. Profanity and Hate Speech: Players must not use obscene, harassing, vulgar, rude, threatening, abusive, defamatory, slanderous, offensive, or hateful language. Nor may they engage in actions that incite hatred or discrimination during the competition. Players must not use any tools or devices to publish, transmit, or disseminate such speech or information.
   3. Criminal Acts:

Players must not, directly or indirectly (including organizing, inducing, encouraging, assisting, coercing, authorizing, or otherwise facilitating others), engage in any activity that may violate the laws, regulations, administrative rules, policy orders, or other normative requirements of any country or region. The tournament committee will impose severe penalties on violators according to these rules and reserves the right to hand over violators and related materials to the relevant authorities for handling.

1. 4. Confidentiality Obligations

Players must not disclose any confidential information provided by the tournament committee through any means of communication, including all social media channels.

1. 5. Forfeit

In principle, players are prohibited from forfeiting in this tournament. If a player insists on forfeiting, thereby abandoning all subsequent matches, or fails to participate at the required time, the tournament officials will consider the player to have relinquished their right to participate. Any matches involving that player will be treated as a walkover.
