Criteria

Sportsmanship and Fair Play
The primary criterion is a steadfast adherence to the “spirit of the game.” This includes:

• Respect for Officials: Maintaining a positive and professional attitude toward referees, even in high-pressure games.
• Fair Competition: Competing fiercely but fairly, without resorting to overly aggressive or unsportsmanlike tactics.
• Mutual Respect: Showing genuine camaraderie toward opponents both in the pool and at the social events.

“The Social Spirit”
A winner often embodies the fun side of the tournament:

• Camaraderie: Being a central figure in the post-game social interactions that define the event.
• Team Morale: Keeping spirits high within their own squad, regardless of whether the team is winning or losing.
