The drawing will take place on Saturday after the tournament. Using a random selection process, one winner will be chosen from all submitted entries. The winning name will be submitted to the Pinburgh authorities, and their entry to Pinburgh 2024 will be confirmed. The winner does not need to be present, although they must have attended the tournament.

For attending the tournament, an entry to the drawing is earned. Reaching ‘A’ Finals will earn a drawing entry. The winner of each ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ finals will earn a drawing entry.

Each participant will also be able to purchase up to 4 additional drawing entries at a cost of $TBD each entry for non-members and $TBD each for members.

Every participant may earn and purchase entries to the drawing, but any person who already has an entry to Pinburgh 2024 is NOT ELIGIBLE to win the drawing. If their name is drawn, that person awarded $50, and a new name is selected. The drawing will continue until an eligible person is selected. The prize is NON-TRANSFERRABLE once awarded. If the person who wins the Pinburgh 2024 ticket cannot attend, they will be given the cash value of the ticket ($350) by the Pinburgh organizers, as long as they contact Pinburgh within 7 days of the draw. The ticket CANNOT be sold or transferred to anyone.

• When an entry is earned, that entry is assigned the name of a person who is attending the

tournament.

• When an entry is purchased, that entry can be assigned the name of any person who is

attending the tournament. It does not need to be the name of the person who purchased

the ticket. This allows a person or group who already has Pinburgh 2024 tickets, and is

therefor ineligible to win the drawing, to increase the chance of winning of another

attendee who is eligible.

Trophies or prizes will be awarded the winners and/or runners-up of each tournament and consolation matches TBD.
