BEFORE REGISTERING:

Check your published Standard / Classic FIDE and ACF ratings.
Determine your eligible division by checking the Registrations page on the Doeberl Cup website.

Registrations are accepted based on a player's current published standard/classic ratings. The organisers reserve the right to place players in the appropriate division based on a player's national rating (if they do not have a FIDE or ACF rating).

The Registration page on the Doeberl Cup website is the primary source of rating requirement information for all Doeberl Cup divisions and overrides ANY other source online, including the Trybooking page.

Please contact the Doeberl Cup Team if you have any questions.

N.B. Acceptance by Trybooking of your entry is not official confirmation of your entry. If you have entered any section contrary to the regulations, you will be given the option to move to the correct section or withdraw. Standard rules regarding withdrawal will apply.

FAMILY ENTRY

Registering 3 or more members of the same family? You may be eligible for a small fee reduction.

Family entry is based on 3rd and subsequent fee-paying members of the family paying ½ price for entry.

Discounts are calculated on the lowest value registration, i.e. if a family is registering one participant in the Premier, one U18 in the Minor and one in the U1200s, the discount will be applied to the U1200s registration.

How to claim Family Entry: Register online via TryBooking, then contact the Doeberl Cup Team to apply for a 50% refund on the eligible registration(s).

Registering as a group, but playing in different divisions?

You can add multiple different registrations ('tickets') to a single transaction in Trybooking.

Select your first ticket, complete the player's information, and proceed to the Checkout page. Before completing payment, click the 'Buy more tickets' link in the Your Cart box. This will take you back to ticket selection so you can add players for other divisions.

REFUNDS AND PLAYER WITHDRAWAL

N.B. Where information displayed here conflicts with the official Doeberl Cup Rules page, the official Doeberl Cup Rules page takes precedence.

Players withdrawing more than 7 days before the start of their division are entitled to a full refund, less processing fees. If a player withdraws within 7 days of the start of their division a 50% refund will be issued. Any player who withdraws after the start of their division forfeits their registration fee.

Players are expected to complete all rounds of their respective events. Players who cannot do so should inform the organisers before their next round. A player withdrawing under these circumstances will be required to pay an entry bond the next time they enter the Doeberl Cup (to the value of the standard entry fee). This bond will be refunded upon the completion of that next event. Players who withdraw without notifying the organisers in advance may have further conditions imposed upon their future entry.

Players with a chronic medical condition may be exempt from this regulation. Please contact the organisers before entering for further information.
