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.
