Important Dates

We will not be accommodating any late responses or any other pleas if you have failed to follow the scheduled deadlines. In the event where you have completed registration, been granted a spot, and pulled out within 48 hours of the event - we will be publicising your team and members, unless you can provide valid justification for such behaviour. Since this is a free tournament, we expect everyone to behave at their best, and not take the altruism provided for granted. We would want it to be the smoothest event for all.
