Players can leave the venue after registration providing they are back in their allocated seats by 2.15pm (for a 2.30pm start).  In keeping with the new regulations, players not in their seat at the start of the event will be able to play.

Should this read "will not"?


I doubt it - there are always a few late arrivals. It"s entertaining when someone gets outlasted by an empty seat !! :D

It is clumsily worded, but it is correct.

Since the change in legislation (think it was back in September 2007), you don"t have to be at your seat for the start of a tournament. Before then, you had to be there for the start, otherwise you couldn"t play.  APAT rules used to say "will not" but were changed to "will" when the law changed.
