Singapore Weiqi Association Competition Integrity Policy

 

Prohibition of Electronic Devices

Players are strictly prohibited from carrying any electronic devices that could potentially be used to gain an unfair advantage during a match (e.g., mobile phones, earpieces, tablets, smartwatches, etc.). All such devices must either be placed in full view of the opponent or surrendered to the arbiter prior to the start of the match, subject to the discretion of the Chief Arbiter.

 

Cheating and Disqualification

The Singapore Weiqi Association takes all competitions seriously and maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards cheating.

Any form of cheating during a competition will result in the immediate forfeiture of the match. Furthermore, the offending player will be disqualified and permanently banned from participating in all future tournaments organized by the association.

This regulation was updated on 11 May 2025 by the Tournament Council of SWA.
