VAR Procedure

View the draw

• The TD will publish the draw on the Nottingham Snooker website.
• Players will also receive a message from the TD with details of their opponent (including their phone number) and the deadline for the match to be played (typically 21 days after the date of the draw).

Arrange and play your match

Within 2 days of the draw, both players must:

• Make contact with each other and arrange the match.
• Inform the TD of the date of the match.

Players will then play the match on the agreed date.

Result to TD

• Immediately following the match being played, the WINNER must send the result to the TD, including details of any breaks over 50.
• The TD will then publish the result on the Nottingham Snooker website.

The Final

The two finalists will be expected to agree on a suitable venue for the final and make the necessary arrangements to book the table. Table costs, if applicable, should be shared equally between the two finalists. If the finalists would like a referee for the match, they will need to organise one themselves.

Penalty for Unsporting Conduct

The TD is at liberty to expel a player from the tournament for any conduct that he considers to be unsporting or at the detriment to the fair progression of the tournament.

Any failure to adhere to the tournament rules and/or VAR procedures will be classed as unsporting conduct and may result in a player being expelled from the tournament by the TD.

TD Discretion

The TD may, at his discretion, allow slight variations to these rules UPON REQUEST, if he feels it will not impede the fair progression of the tournament.
