Fairness

In order to guarantee an exciting, entertaining and fair tournament, please ensure your level classification fairly and correctly reflects your ability. The following criteria have been set for classification in London:

The team’s level will be determined solely on the basis of the better player’s level classification and results from recent LGBT+ tournaments (singles and doubles). Involvement in mixed or senator competitions will not be considered. It is the responsibility of each player/club to ensure that their classification is correct and their responsibility to inform the Goslings International Tournament Committee that their categorisation / grading needs to be amended at the earliest opportunity.

Gold medal (first place) winners at tournaments in London or LGBT+ tournaments of a comparable size (200 participants or more, for example, Hamburg, Berlin, Eurogames, Gay Games) since the last tournament are obliged to play in a classification level higher. The award of five medals (first to third places) at any LGBT+ tournaments over the last three years shall likewise result in a higher level classification.
