Common use of Official functions and attendance Clause in Contracts

Official functions and attendance. 5.2.1 Players are encouraged to attend the Player Briefing, any Opening Ceremony, any Civic Reception and the Closing Ceremony of the Event. 5.2.2 The Player Briefing shall be conducted in English. Players who may need help in understanding the briefing should ask for a written copy of the briefing in sufficient time to allow it to be translated. The Player Briefing must include all specific arrangements and any variations that have been agreed from WCF Regulations or normal practice. This may include items such as local rulings on boundaries with a hampered backswing or un-level stance; that Players must not tap-in hoops themselves but must call a Referee to have them adjusted if need be; rules concerning practice; whether handicap cards should be used (generally, yes); and similar matters. 5.2.3 Players in singles events are required to complete all their games in the main event (block and Knock Out stages). In addition, they are encouraged, but not required, to stay until the end of the Event and to compete in consolation events. This is to ensure that those who wish to compete in such events are not deprived of competition and that spectators are given every opportunity to see Croquet at its best. 5.2.4 All entrants in team events are required to fulfil the entire event programme, including all organised consolation matches, and entries will only be accepted on this basis.
