Late Backout & No-Show Policy

We strictly enforce our late backout and no-show rules to ensure smooth operations. Organising replacements on short notice is difficult and disruptive, especially as our organisers have day jobs. Please be mindful of our policy:

RSVP Policy: Please RSVP for sessions exclusively through the Meetup app. WhatsApp is mainly for regular updates on attendance, timings and last-minute changes. Any requests made via WhatsApp might not be considered for session sign-ups.
Late Backouts: Backing out within 9 hours of the session is considered a late backout. You will be required to pay the session fee in full, even if a replacement is found.
No-Shows: If you fail to show up without notice, you must still pay for the session.
Respect for the Organisers: Our organisers finalise the list the night before or early morning. Last-minute changes mean they need to leave their work to arrange replacements. This affects not just the organisers but the overall experience of the players.
Waitlist Responsibility: If you're on the waitlist and no longer wish to attend, it’s your responsibility to remove your name. We assume that anyone on the waitlist still wants to join the session if a spot opens up.
First-Come, First-Serve Basis: We ensure fairness by adhering to a first-come, first-serve system. Please do not ask for special treatment or last-minute slots outside of this.

Note: Players may cancel without penalty up to 9 hours before the session. After this time, the session fee applies regardless of waitlist status. Please book and cancel responsibly to avoid disruptions for everyone involved.

Late backout & no-show rules

We consider any backout with in 9 hours of the session a late backout

We expect our players to adhere to the payment if they backout late or are a no-show.

Its really difficult for organizers to arrange last moment replacements

The organizers all have day jobs and finalize the list in their spare time over night and early morning.

Backing out in between working hours of the same day means we have to leave our work and update list for replacements and confirm if the replacements will show up.

We respect everyone's time and we also expect our players to respect ours.

If the list is full and your name goes in the waiting list, we do not get a confirmation if someone backs out and if anyone name is moved to going list.

Players do get notified about their attendance via mail and meetup app.

It is players duty to remove their name from the waitlist if they no longer wish to join, as we are not aware of their other plans.

We believe that anyone in the waiting list still wants to join.

We are allowing first come first serve to give a fair chance to all players, we do have players requesting to give them a slot even if they ask us late.

Please note that we strictly follow the attendance and timing on meetup, so its best to book your slot through meetup. Whatsapp group is there for regular updates and incase any last minute changes occur

Even if we have a waitlist of multiple players, the player who backs out late must pay for the session.

Players are allowed to remove their name 9 hours before the session without incurring a penalty. Within the 9 hours we request players to pay the entire amount as it gets difficult to manage last minute changes.
