Draws are made available to you 2-3 days prior to the event. You will be invited to participate while we pick the draws. It will be a very transparent process.

We intend to provide the prize money as follows provided the full participation in all categories. In case of low participation, the organizers reserve the right to change the prize money without any advance notice.

Both Winners and Runners-up will receive the Trophy and a Certificate.

As soon as the team size reaches the target number of teams, you will receive an email confirming your participation if you are in the prioritized waiting list.

Those who are on the waiting list and made their payment.

We advise you to pay even though you are on the waiting list to avoid losing an opportunity to play. You will be given about 4 hours to pay once the number of teams reaches the intended target. If you don’t pay within those hours, the next batch of teams in the waiting list gets the opportunity to pay and participate. You will be offered again if some slots are still available. To avoid losing a spot due to delay in payment, we suggest you pay and be on a prioritized waiting list and anyway we refund the full amount if you don’t get an opportunity to play.

You will get the full refund for that category for which you did not receive the confirmation email.

No, you are captain of your team. We do not collect your partner’s contact details and hence we do not communicate with your partner. It is your responsibility to pay the entry fee for your team (including your partner) and bring in your partner on the day of the event!

No. Your participation is only confirmed via an email from the organizers. A confirmation email is only sent once we receive the full payment for the team for the subscribed categories.

Unfortunately no. We have given enough time between the registration and payment. We would have declined some participants if we were full. The good news is you can bring in new team members (or members), nominate them (by writing an email or with WhatsApp) and collect the fee from them directly. This transaction is outside the knowledge of the organizers and hence we are not responsible for such transactions.

You are allowed to change your partner for whatever reasons. It is the responsibility of the captain to nominate a replacement at least 1 week before the tournament starts. And we would like to remind you that it is your responsibility to bring in your partner on the day of the event. In exceptional cases (sick or injured), we may allow to change your partner till beginning of the tournament.
