receipt issued on the morning after the tournament finishes. All prize winners will be required to remain on site to collect this receipt. Failure to do so will result in a 50% reduction in the prize winnings. Attendance at any social function, presentation or players meetings is mandatory and failure attracts the same penalty as above,
