Dear Players,
As we look forward to the upcoming months of our SGMS 90+30 monthly tournaments, we would like to share a few important updates and improvements to our event structure starting from August:
Elimination of Unrated/High-Fee Spots: Moving forward, we will no longer invite unrated players who pay a high entry fee for a single spot. This adjustment ensures that every single game will have rating implications, keeping the competitive stakes meaningful and active for all participants. We firmly believe that a player's time and effort are far more valuable than entry fees.
Enhanced Officiating: To prevent any unexpected issues like the referee substitution we experienced in May, all future tournaments will be managed by two dedicated arbiters (for max 24 players) to ensure smooth and professional tournament operations.
Adjustment to Entry Fees: With our upgraded officiating and commitment to a higher-quality experience, our operational costs will naturally increase.
Consequently, the entry fee will be adjusted upward by approximately $20 -30 SGD.( for rating over 1600)
We deeply appreciate your understanding and continued support as we strive to make the SGMS 90+30 monthly tournaments better for everyone.
Thank you for being a valued part of the SGMS-tournament community!
Best regards,
SGMS-Tournament Team
