SPECTATOR ETIQUETTE

Spectators should observe the following behaviors:

  1. A spectator should not give advice to a competitor while competing. Doing so robs the competitor against whom you give it, because it may cause the loss of their game. It also robs the competitor in whose favour you give it, because should they win,
    they lose the pleasure of a clean victory having been aided by another.
  2. A spectator should not talk to competitors during gameplay, it can weaken or divert their attention.
  3. A spectator should not make unnecessary noise or physical actions that may hinder the competitors concentration / interaction with the game.
  4. A spectator should not express their judgment of a competitor’s game by criticizing the competitor. Rather than offering criticism, the spectator should demonstrate their ability as a competitor.
  5. If the above points cannot be considered, then you are unworthy as a spectator, and may be removed from the tournament premises.
