It shall be composed of a minimum of four people including the Games Events Coordinator, the Director of the event involved, the CSGA Technical Director and a non partisan Host Committee designate.

Rules are made to be followed by all players to make games happen. But often there are unwritten “rules” or courtesies which will make the game much better with fewer problems for all. Whether the game is a friendly recreational event among friends or part of an important tournament, participants should practice good sportsmanship and respect for their competitors.
