VIII. Smoking Ban

1. Smoking shall not be allowed in the playing hall for the duration of the event. This applies to everyone present: players, officials, media representatives and spectators.

   The tournament organizers will provide the players and officials with a separate area outside the playing hall where smoking will be permitted. This area will be easily accessible from the playing hall. If local ordinances totally prohibit smoking within the premises, the players and officials should be provided with easy access outdoors.
