Results Handling

1.3a If a contest director doesn’t deliver full pro results and top 4 amateur results within 10 days, he risks his contest not being counted for that year and future years.

1.3b If a contest director does not deliver his contest results at all, his contest will definitively not be sanctioned by the UST for the following three years. A unanimous vote by the directors is required to waive this automatic three year penalty. After the three year penalty, there is no guarantee that the contest will be re-sanctioned by the UST.

1.3c No points will count for contests with incomplete results. In the case that full professional results are not delivered for whatever reason, partial points for the top placing competitors will not be counted.

Access and Transparency

1.4 Contest directors must grant authorized UST representatives full access at the event for monitoring purposes upon request.

Event Cancellation

1.5 If a contest is cancelled in a given year for any reason short of an Act of God, that contest will need to acquire unanimous support from UST directors to be allowed back on the tour.
