1.04.A.Pre-tournament check-in is required for players in Players are required to check in with the Tournament Director or designated tournament staff member at A- and B-Tier events. and This is suggested for all other Tiers
Just include C-Tiers. You are opening up a HUGE problem for TDs. You are making us blind to who is there or not.
With no check-in required there is a good chance that groups of TWO are standing at the tees when the event starts. The TD has no way of knowing who is present or not.
The TD has no way of arranging groups after check-in to make sure there are no two-somes.
Additionally, for a filled event, if there are 2 players waiting to register on site IF there are no-shows - You have now opened up the possibility of a TD creating 5-somes OR declining the waiting players because we have no way of knowing if the 7 players who did not check-in are even at the event.
This is SIMPLE:
- NOT including C-Tiers opens up many potential (Likely) problems for the TD that may multiply into additional problems = F' You TD deal with it.
- Including C-Tiers = NO PROBLEMS...... and safeguards for the TD to run a smooth event - avoid 2-somes - avoid 5-somes - take in players on site to fill no-shows.
I realize that a TD can just post that check-in is required, but that should never be necessary - It should be a given that ALL players are accustomed to and know is their responsibility.
