Plate. The Plate event is open to all players who do not qualify for the KO stage of the main event. Entrants will be divided into blocks leading to qualification for a subsequent KO phase. The Tournament Manager will decide whether matches in either phase of the competition are played as single games or Best of 3. If announced in advance ties in the block phase may be broken without recourse to play-offs using clause 4 of WCF Sports Regulations Appendix 5, modified to allow the use of net games/points for AC events. This is an event at AC events only, and only for players of Developing Members who have not qualified for the KO stage of the main event. The WCF MC will determine prior to the main event which individuals are eligible for entry to the Developing Nations Plate. Competitors in the Developing Nations Plate may also compete in the Plate. If this results in a player “blocking” the completion of either event come the final days the Tournament Manager may require them to scratch from one or other event. The format to be used will be determined by the Tournament Manager but will usually be block(s) with, or without, a subsequent play-off/knock out phase.
