Prizes will be held for at least 4 hours after the completion of the tournament, in case of a claim of fair-play violation (use of outside help). In order to make a claim, you go to a player's profile
and hit report. You will be asked to complete a written report in case human intervention is required. Immediately afterward you have to contact me with a copy of the report. The organizer
will generally accept the decision of the site, but reserves the right to form a Committee (a small group of top players) for a final decision. In the case of a violation, one or
more games of the violator will be be scrubbed, and they will be ineligble for any prizes. Further sanctions such as Suspension by the Club or National Federation are also likely to
be imposed
