At each stage, both competitors and/or pairs of competitors are equally responsible for the match being decided by the due date. If, by the due completion date for each round, the match has not been played and the Handicap Committee has not received a request for either an extension or a ruling on the match outcome (for example, when one competitor is actively seeking to play the match by the due date but is unable to obtain a response from the second competitor), the match will be abandoned and both sets of competitors will either be disqualified or a walk---over result will be decided. In exceptional circumstances, the Handicap Committee will consider a request for an extension. Any request should be made in writing before the due completion date and each will be considered on its individual merits. However, there is no question of any ruling or precedent, which can influence future decisions, being set. Where extensions are granted, these will not be accepted as an excuse not to have played the following round by the due date. (Note: on the occasion where an extension is granted, both sets of competitors are advised to identify their potential opponents in the next round as soon as possible and to arrange a provisional date for that match to be played. A competitor who requests an extension in one round is unlikely to be granted a similar extension in the next round purely on the basis there was insufficient time to arrange a mutually convenient date for the match to be played). In the event that a request for a ruling on the outcome of an un---played match is received, the outcome will be decided by the Handicap Committee, including which, if any, competitor proceeds to the next round. If a player or team has not paid their entry fee before they play their first match then the match shall be awarded to the other player/team.

At each stage, both competitors and/or pairs of competitors are equally responsible for the match being decided by the due date. If, by the due completion date for each round, the match has not been played and the Handicap Committee has not received a request for either an extension or a ruling on the match outcome (for example, when one competitor is actively seeking to play the match by the due date but is unable to obtain a response from the second competitor), the match will be abandoned and both sets of competitors will either be disqualified or a walk---over result will be decided. In exceptional circumstances, the Handicap Committee will consider a request for an extension. Any request should be made in writing before the due completion date and each will be considered on its individual merits. However, there is no question of any ruling or precedent, which can influence future decisions, being set. Where extensions are granted, these will not be accepted as an excuse not to have played the following round by the due date. (Note: on the occasion where an extension is granted, both sets of competitors are advised to identify their potential opponents in the next round as soon as possible and to arrange a provisional date for that match to be played. A competitor who requests an extension in one round is unlikely to be granted a similar extension in the next round purely on the basis there was insufficient time to arrange a mutually convenient date for the match to be played). In the event that a request for a ruling on the outcome of an un---played match is received, the outcome will be decided by the Handicap Committee, including which, if any, competitor proceeds to the next round. If a player or team has not paid their entry fee before they play their first match then the match shall be awarded to the other player/team.
