Pool Rules

Date/Site Changes

If a match is postponed then all bets will stand providing the match is rescheduled to take place before the end of the Tournament. For any match played outside of a tournament format, all bets are cancelled if the match is not played on the scheduled date.

Minimum Length of Play

In the event of a match starting but not being completed for any reason, wagers on individual markets that have already been unconditionally determined will stand.
