WITHDRAWS IN POD PLAY If a player withdraws without completing all three matches, in equity to the group, all points will be forfeited by the withdrawn player.
Additionally, players who withdraw without completing all three matches in pool play without valid reason may be subject to a $150 penalty payable to the GSGA Foundation before their entry will be accepted into any future GSGA Championship. If a player withdraws before the third pod play match and will not factor into the final pod standings and who advances to the elimination brakcet, that player may NOT be subject to the penalty. Any players wishing to withdraw during pod play must consult with the Official in Charge regarding the potential for any penalty to be enforced.
Once the seeds are set, any alternates will assume the seed of the player they are replacing.
