Identified rules
The competition page must reference the applicable version. A general page does not replace it.
Official source, responsible decision
Rules must be readable before they can be enforced.
FIG documents are retained as versioned sources. The version linked to a competition is the one to consult for applicable conditions.
FIG / RULES
Document hierarchy
A general source. An applicable version.
The official FIG rules are the initial reference source. Every published tournament must then point to an approved, dated and administered version. Games, countries, points, prices, dates and conditions remain configurable.
No active rule is hard-coded on this page.
Platform safeguards
Trust is built in the details.
Human approval
Disqualification, permanent bans, result changes and refunds require authorisation.
Protected evidence
Formats, sizes and retention periods are defined and enforced server-side.
Traceability
Sensitive actions are attributed, timestamped and retained in an audit log.
Protection of minors
Age and required consent are checked against published conditions and applicable law.
No false confirmation
A screen never confirms an action the server has not actually recorded.
Unsure during a competition?
Keep the match. Escalate the decision.
FIG Assistance can explain a published rule and create a ticket. It never issues a final sanction, refund or result change on its own.
