show" and you will be suspended from CGA events for 1 year.

Withdrawals submitted less than three days before the tournament will not receive any refund. |
| Withdrawal During Group Play |
Due to the nature of this match play event, and to ensure that all players have a match to compete in and in fairness to the field in group play, a player who withdraws during the group play rounds will be suspended for 3 months or their next CGA Championship they are signed up for, whichever comes first. It is unfair to your fellow players who spend their own time and money to travel to the Championship, and are subsequently left to sit in their hotel room because another player has chosen to withdraw out of frustration or previous round loss. When entering the Championship, please take this into consideration. If you believe you cannot fulfill the tournament schedule, please leave the spot open for another player. |
