PRIZES

DISTRIBUTION OF CASH PRIZES

Unless otherwise indicated in the prize list, a player may not receive more than one cash prize per tournament.

Where players are tied for a number of cash prizes, the total value of those prizes is divided equally among the tied players

The cash prize to be received by a player who would otherwise receive more than one such prize is determined as follows.

1. Separate conditional prize winners' lists are made for each prize group showing each amount payable to prize-winners after the sharing of prizes among tied players but without regard for the requirement that a player cannot win more than one such prize.

2. Conditional lists are then considered in turn to determine which prizes are to be paid to players named on more than one conditional list.

3. The major prize list is considered first, followed by the list for each age group in descending order. Within each list, each prize is allocated in descending order of value.

4. A player named in more than one list is deemed to have won or shared the appropriate prize of highest value on one of the lists on which his/her name appears. (Where prizes are of equal value, the player receives the prize considered first in the above sequence.)

5. Such a player is removed from all other conditional lists, to which next-highest scorers may then be added, and the process continued.

6. If the removal of a player from a conditional list causes the amount to be received by one or more remaining players to exceed the amount won by the removed player, the prize moneys concerned shall be

7 When no player's name appears more than once on any list, all prize lists become final.
