Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see 9 below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Your legal rights

You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

You have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.
- You also have the absolute right to object any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (see “Opting out of marketing” in 4).
- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios:
- If you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
- Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
- Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
  
  You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  
  If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us [see Contact details (10)].
No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Schedule 2 - Rules and Regulations

Participation in the Snooker League
1. Eligibility:
  
  You (Players) must be at least 18 years old to participate or enter the Leagues.
2. League Structure
  
  Seasons: The Leagues are organised into seasons. Information on start dates, match schedules, and rules will be provided on the Website.
  
  Divisions: Players will be grouped into divisions based on similar skill levels. Divisions will ideally consist of 6 players, but the number of players in each division may be more or less depending on the number of entrants and the spread of abilities. At the end of each season, promotions and relegations will occur based on performance, with at least the top and bottom players moving up or down. However, you may not always be placed in the division directly above or below your current one. Placement will be determined at the organiser's discretion, taking into account factors such as overall performance, skill levels, and the balance of divisions.
  
  Points / Bonus Points:
  - 3 points are awarded for a match win.
  - Bonus points are awarded for high breaks (these vary between divisions), whitewash wins, and for losing in a decider.
  - A maximum of 6 points are available for each player in any given match, combining match win points and bonus points.
  Fixtures and Scheduling: Fixtures for each game week will be published at the start of the season. It is the responsibility of the Players to arrange the date and time of each fixture within the respective game week. Players must coordinate with their opponents to ensure matches are played on time.
  
  League Availability: By signing up for a league season, you agree to make yourself available for at least one match per week for the duration of the league season. Typically, a season lasts 5 weeks, with an additional buffer week at the end to accommodate any rescheduled matches.
  
  Walkovers and Missed Fixtures:
  - A Walkover is essentially a 2-0 win, awarded to a player who feels they are eligible to receive one, based on the following conditions.
  - Walkovers are always reviewed by PlayOn Admin, and will be approved or rejected accordingly. PlayOn Admin's decision is final.
  - Admin may contact both players for more information when a Walkover result is entered.
  - For each game week, you must make contact with your opponent by midnight on Wednesday (assuming a Gameweek runs from Monday to Sunday) to arrange the fixture. If you fail to do so, a 2-0 walkover may be awarded to the player who did make contact by the deadline, provided the match is not played within the scheduled game week.
  - If you are unable to play a scheduled fixture, you must provide at least 24 hours notice to your opponent. Failure to do so may entitle your opponent to a 2-0 walkover, subject to the organiser's discretion.
  - If you are more than 30 minutes late for a scheduled fixture and fail to notify your opponent in advance, your opponent may claim a 2-0 walkover, at the organiser's discretion.
  - If a player starts a scheduled fixture, but cannot complete the match for any reason (E.g. illness, injury, unforeseen circumstances), a 2-0 walkover may be awarded to the player who was available to complete the fixture, at the organiser's discretion.
  - In cases where a match is not caught up in a timely manner, a 2-0 walkover may be awarded to the player who was available for the original fixture, at the organiser's discretion.
  - If you will be away for 1 or 2 weeks (e.g. for a holiday), you must notify the organiser and your fellow division mates in advance. You are also expected to make arrangements to play your missed matches either before or after your absence.
  - If you will be away for 3 or more weeks, please do not enter a league season. It is best to wait for the next one to ensure you are available for all matches.
  - We are all here to play snooker and have fun, so please prioritise playing your matches rather than claiming a walkover whenever possible. Walkovers should only be claimed when absolutely necessary.
  Withdrawing from a League Season:
  - If you need to withdraw from a League season for any reason, please use the official Withdraw function on the Website.
  - This will notify both PlayOn and your fellow opponents of your decision, so they know not to contact you for arranging fixtures.
  - If you do not officially withdraw and fail to play the majority of your matches, you may be banned from participating in one or more future League seasons, at the organiser's discretion.
  Ranking Points and Leaderboard: At the end of each season, ranking points will be awarded to top performers or Players. These points contribute to the overall leaderboard, reflecting a Player's performance across multiple seasons. To ensure the leaderboard stays competitive and current, accumulated ranking points will decrease over time. Specifically, points will be halved one year after they are awarded.
  Virtual Trophies, Achievements, Prizes: Division winners are awarded a Virtual Trophy, which will be displayed on the Profile Page. They will also receive a discount code for 50% off the entry fee to the next season they play in. Achievements are unlocked as you progress along your PlayOn journey. These can also be found on the Profile Page.
Rules and Etiquette

Official Snooker Rules: PlayOn Snooker Leagues use the Official Snooker Ruleset, unless stated below.
https://wpbsa.com/wp-content/uploads/Rulebook-Website-Updated-May-2022-2.pdf
Please ensure that you are clear on these rules before you play your first match in a PlayOn Snooker League.

No Referees: We do not use referees in PlayOn Snooker Leagues. Matches are self refereed.

You may only enforce a rule if you are 100% sure, and both players are in agreement. If there is any doubt, and / or both players are not in agreement, then a decision cannot be enforced.

In case of any disagreements which affect the normal running of a league match, please contact PlayOn using the contact details on the platform.

No "Miss Rule": There is no "Miss Rule" in play. This means that you cannot request for the balls to be replaced after a foul.

Scoring Responsibility: The opponent should call out the break as it develops. Once the break finishes, the score should be added to the scoreboard. It is the responsibility of the player who made the break to ensure the points are added directly after the break finishes.

Conceding Frames: Do not concede a frame when there are still enough points available on the table for a High Break Bonus Point.

Comfort Breaks:
- Comfort / toilet breaks should only be taken between frames or while you are at the table, such as before or during your visit.
- Do not leave the table when your opponent is in play.
Positioning at the Table:
- After your visit to the table, ensure (within reason) you are not standing in the eyeline of your opponent while they prepare for their next visit.
Player Interaction:
- Do not speak to your opponent when they are down on a shot.
- Do not wear headphones during a league match.
Pacing of Play: During frames, maintain a steady pace. Although there is no time limit in snooker, remember that players share table costs, so be mindful of this. Short breaks are allowed between frames (e.g. for toilet breaks, drinks, or smoking), but please remain considerate of your opponent when taking these breaks.

Table Tab and Drinks: Only pay for drinks / food on the table tab if both players agree to this arrangement before the match begins.

Entering Match Results: Upon completion of a match, the winner must enter the result via the website. Our admin will then approve the result within 24 hours, allowing time to address any disputes or issues that may arise.

Match Summary: For the entertainment of your fellow division mates, please write a few words about the match after its completion. This is generally the winner's responsibility.

Spectators: You may bring a friend or spectator along to a match, provided your opponent agrees. If you have a spectator, you must not communicate with them while you are at the table. Additionally, any communication with your spectator must be kept to a minimum, and be in a language that both players understand.
Chat Function
1. Purpose: The chat function and tool provided on the Website is intended solely for organising snooker League matches and related activities. By using the chat function, you agree to use it exclusively for this purpose.
2. Code of Conduct: Respectful Communication: Players must treat each other with respect and refrain from using abusive language. Any form of abuse, including threats or offensive language, may result in a ban from the chat function and other Services.
3. Consequences of Misuse: Violations of the chat function rules will result in warnings, temporary bans, permanent bans and suspension from the Platform. Misuse may also lead to suspension from the League.
League Specific Terms & Conditions
Every PlayOn Snooker League will have its own specific set of Terms & Conditions, which you must consent to before signing up to any given league.

This will include any rules and regulations specific to the venue where each league is hosted, so please pay attention to these T&Cs each time you sign up to a league season.

Schedule 2 - Rules and Regulations

Participation in the Snooker League
1. Eligibility:
  
  You (Players) must be at least 18 years old to participate or enter the Leagues.
2. League Structure
  
  Seasons: The Leagues are organised into seasons. Information on start dates, match schedules, and rules will be provided on the Website.
  
  Divisions: Players will be grouped into divisions based on similar skill levels. Divisions will ideally consist of 6 players, but the number of players in each division may be more or less depending on the number of entrants and the spread of abilities. At the end of each season, promotions and relegations will occur based on performance, with at least the top and bottom players moving up or down. However, you may not always be placed in the division directly above or below your current one. Placement will be determined at the organiser's discretion, taking into account factors such as overall performance, skill levels, and the balance of divisions.
  
  Points / Bonus Points:
  - 3 points are awarded for a match win.
  - Bonus points are awarded for high breaks (these vary between divisions), whitewash wins, and for losing in a decider.
  - A maximum of 6 points are available for each player in any given match, combining match win points and bonus points.
  Fixtures and Scheduling: Fixtures for each game week will be published at the start of the season. It is the responsibility of the Players to arrange the date and time of each fixture within the respective game week. Players must coordinate with their opponents to ensure matches are played on time.
  
  League Availability: By signing up for a league season, you agree to make yourself available for at least one match per week for the duration of the league season. Typically, a season lasts 5 weeks, with an additional buffer week at the end to accommodate any rescheduled matches.
  
  Walkovers and Missed Fixtures:
  - A Walkover is essentially a 2-0 win, awarded to a player who feels they are eligible to receive one, based on the following conditions.
  - Walkovers are always reviewed by PlayOn Admin, and will be approved or rejected accordingly. PlayOn Admin's decision is final.
  - Admin may contact both players for more information when a Walkover result is entered.
  - For each game week, you must make contact with your opponent by midnight on Wednesday (assuming a Gameweek runs from Monday to Sunday) to arrange the fixture. If you fail to do so, a 2-0 walkover may be awarded to the player who did make contact by the deadline, provided the match is not played within the scheduled game week.
  - If you are unable to play a scheduled fixture, you must provide at least 24 hours notice to your opponent. Failure to do so may entitle your opponent to a 2-0 walkover, subject to the organiser's discretion.
  - If you are more than 30 minutes late for a scheduled fixture and fail to notify your opponent in advance, your opponent may claim a 2-0 walkover, at the organiser's discretion.
  - If a player starts a scheduled fixture, but cannot complete the match for any reason (E.g. illness, injury, unforeseen circumstances), a 2-0 walkover may be awarded to the player who was available to complete the fixture, at the organiser's discretion.
  - In cases where a match is not caught up in a timely manner, a 2-0 walkover may be awarded to the player who was available for the original fixture, at the organiser's discretion.
  - If you will be away for 1 or 2 weeks (e.g. for a holiday), you must notify the organiser and your fellow division mates in advance. You are also expected to make arrangements to play your missed matches either before or after your absence.
  - If you will be away for 3 or more weeks, please do not enter a league season. It is best to wait for the next one to ensure you are available for all matches.
  - We are all here to play snooker and have fun, so please prioritise playing your matches rather than claiming a walkover whenever possible. Walkovers should only be claimed when absolutely necessary.
  Withdrawing from a League Season:
  - If you need to withdraw from a League season for any reason, please use the official Withdraw function on the Website.
  - This will notify both PlayOn and your fellow opponents of your decision, so they know not to contact you for arranging fixtures.
  - If you do not officially withdraw and fail to play the majority of your matches, you may be banned from participating in one or more future League seasons, at the organiser's discretion.
  Ranking Points and Leaderboard: At the end of each season, ranking points will be awarded to top performers or Players. These points contribute to the overall leaderboard, reflecting a Player's performance across multiple seasons. To ensure the leaderboard stays competitive and current, accumulated ranking points will decrease over time. Specifically, points will be halved one year after they are awarded.
  Virtual Trophies, Achievements, Prizes: Division winners are awarded a Virtual Trophy, which will be displayed on the Profile Page. They will also receive a discount code for 50% off the entry fee to the next season they play in. Achievements are unlocked as you progress along your PlayOn journey. These can also be found on the Profile Page.
Rules and Etiquette

Official Snooker Rules: PlayOn Snooker Leagues use the Official Snooker Ruleset, unless stated below.
https://wpbsa.com/wp-content/uploads/Rulebook-Website-Updated-May-2022-2.pdf
Please ensure that you are clear on these rules before you play your first match in a PlayOn Snooker League.

No Referees: We do not use referees in PlayOn Snooker Leagues. Matches are self refereed.

You may only enforce a rule if you are 100% sure, and both players are in agreement. If there is any doubt, and / or both players are not in agreement, then a decision cannot be enforced.

In case of any disagreements which affect the normal running of a league match, please contact PlayOn using the contact details on the platform.

No "Miss Rule": There is no "Miss Rule" in play. This means that you cannot request for the balls to be replaced after a foul.

Scoring Responsibility: The opponent should call out the break as it develops. Once the break finishes, the score should be added to the scoreboard. It is the responsibility of the player who made the break to ensure the points are added directly after the break finishes.

Conceding Frames: Do not concede a frame when there are still enough points available on the table for a High Break Bonus Point.

Comfort Breaks:
- Comfort / toilet breaks should only be taken between frames or while you are at the table, such as before or during your visit.
- Do not leave the table when your opponent is in play.
Positioning at the Table:
- After your visit to the table, ensure (within reason) you are not standing in the eyeline of your opponent while they prepare for their next visit.
Player Interaction:
- Do not speak to your opponent when they are down on a shot.
- Do not wear headphones during a league match.
Pacing of Play: During frames, maintain a steady pace. Although there is no time limit in snooker, remember that players share table costs, so be mindful of this. Short breaks are allowed between frames (e.g. for toilet breaks, drinks, or smoking), but please remain considerate of your opponent when taking these breaks.

Table Tab and Drinks: Only pay for drinks / food on the table tab if both players agree to this arrangement before the match begins.

Entering Match Results: Upon completion of a match, the winner must enter the result via the website. Our admin will then approve the result within 24 hours, allowing time to address any disputes or issues that may arise.

Match Summary: For the entertainment of your fellow division mates, please write a few words about the match after its completion. This is generally the winner's responsibility.

Spectators: You may bring a friend or spectator along to a match, provided your opponent agrees. If you have a spectator, you must not communicate with them while you are at the table. Additionally, any communication with your spectator must be kept to a minimum, and be in a language that both players understand.
Chat Function
1. Purpose: The chat function and tool provided on the Website is intended solely for organising snooker League matches and related activities. By using the chat function, you agree to use it exclusively for this purpose.
2. Code of Conduct: Respectful Communication: Players must treat each other with respect and refrain from using abusive language. Any form of abuse, including threats or offensive language, may result in a ban from the chat function and other Services.
3. Consequences of Misuse: Violations of the chat function rules will result in warnings, temporary bans, permanent bans and suspension from the Platform. Misuse may also lead to suspension from the League.
League Specific Terms & Conditions
Every PlayOn Snooker League will have its own specific set of Terms & Conditions, which you must consent to before signing up to any given league.

This will include any rules and regulations specific to the venue where each league is hosted, so please pay attention to these T&Cs each time you sign up to a league season.

  Points / Bonus Points:
  - 3 points are awarded for a match win.
  - Bonus points are awarded for high breaks (these vary between divisions), whitewash wins, and for losing in a decider.
  - A maximum of 6 points are available for each player in any given match, combining match win points and bonus points.
  Fixtures and Scheduling: Fixtures for each game week will be published at the start of the season. It is the responsibility of the Players to arrange the date and time of each fixture within the respective game week. Players must coordinate with their opponents to ensure matches are played on time.
  
  League Availability: By signing up for a league season, you agree to make yourself available for at least one match per week for the duration of the league season. Typically, a season lasts 5 weeks, with an additional buffer week at the end to accommodate any rescheduled matches.
  
  Walkovers and Missed Fixtures:
  - A Walkover is essentially a 2-0 win, awarded to a player who feels they are eligible to receive one, based on the following conditions.
  - Walkovers are always reviewed by PlayOn Admin, and will be approved or rejected accordingly. PlayOn Admin's decision is final.
  - Admin may contact both players for more information when a Walkover result is entered.
  - For each game week, you must make contact with your opponent by midnight on Wednesday (assuming a Gameweek runs from Monday to Sunday) to arrange the fixture. If you fail to do so, a 2-0 walkover may be awarded to the player who did make contact by the deadline, provided the match is not played within the scheduled game week.
  - If you are unable to play a scheduled fixture, you must provide at least 24 hours notice to your opponent. Failure to do so may entitle your opponent to a 2-0 walkover, subject to the organiser's discretion.
  - If you are more than 30 minutes late for a scheduled fixture and fail to notify your opponent in advance, your opponent may claim a 2-0 walkover, at the organiser's discretion.
  - If a player starts a scheduled fixture, but cannot complete the match for any reason (E.g. illness, injury, unforeseen circumstances), a 2-0 walkover may be awarded to the player who was available to complete the fixture, at the organiser's discretion.
  - In cases where a match is not caught up in a timely manner, a 2-0 walkover may be awarded to the player who was available for the original fixture, at the organiser's discretion.
  - If you will be away for 1 or 2 weeks (e.g. for a holiday), you must notify the organiser and your fellow division mates in advance. You are also expected to make arrangements to play your missed matches either before or after your absence.
  - If you will be away for 3 or more weeks, please do not enter a league season. It is best to wait for the next one to ensure you are available for all matches.
  - We are all here to play snooker and have fun, so please prioritise playing your matches rather than claiming a walkover whenever possible. Walkovers should only be claimed when absolutely necessary.
  Withdrawing from a League Season:
  - If you need to withdraw from a League season for any reason, please use the official Withdraw function on the Website.
  - This will notify both PlayOn and your fellow opponents of your decision, so they know not to contact you for arranging fixtures.
  - If you do not officially withdraw and fail to play the majority of your matches, you may be banned from participating in one or more future League seasons, at the organiser's discretion.
  Ranking Points and Leaderboard: At the end of each season, ranking points will be awarded to top performers or Players. These points contribute to the overall leaderboard, reflecting a Player's performance across multiple seasons. To ensure the leaderboard stays competitive and current, accumulated ranking points will decrease over time. Specifically, points will be halved one year after they are awarded.
  Virtual Trophies, Achievements, Prizes: Division winners are awarded a Virtual Trophy, which will be displayed on the Profile Page. They will also receive a discount code for 50% off the entry fee to the next season they play in. Achievements are unlocked as you progress along your PlayOn journey. These can also be found on the Profile Page.
Rules and Etiquette

Official Snooker Rules: PlayOn Snooker Leagues use the Official Snooker Ruleset, unless stated below.
https://wpbsa.com/wp-content/uploads/Rulebook-Website-Updated-May-2022-2.pdf
Please ensure that you are clear on these rules before you play your first match in a PlayOn Snooker League.

No Referees: We do not use referees in PlayOn Snooker Leagues. Matches are self refereed.

You may only enforce a rule if you are 100% sure, and both players are in agreement. If there is any doubt, and / or both players are not in agreement, then a decision cannot be enforced.

In case of any disagreements which affect the normal running of a league match, please contact PlayOn using the contact details on the platform.

No "Miss Rule": There is no "Miss Rule" in play. This means that you cannot request for the balls to be replaced after a foul.

Scoring Responsibility: The opponent should call out the break as it develops. Once the break finishes, the score should be added to the scoreboard. It is the responsibility of the player who made the break to ensure the points are added directly after the break finishes.

Conceding Frames: Do not concede a frame when there are still enough points available on the table for a High Break Bonus Point.

Comfort Breaks:
- Comfort / toilet breaks should only be taken between frames or while you are at the table, such as before or during your visit.
- Do not leave the table when your opponent is in play.
Positioning at the Table:
- After your visit to the table, ensure (within reason) you are not standing in the eyeline of your opponent while they prepare for their next visit.
Player Interaction:
- Do not speak to your opponent when they are down on a shot.
- Do not wear headphones during a league match.
Pacing of Play: During frames, maintain a steady pace. Although there is no time limit in snooker, remember that players share table costs, so be mindful of this. Short breaks are allowed between frames (e.g. for toilet breaks, drinks, or smoking), but please remain considerate of your opponent when taking these breaks.

Table Tab and Drinks: Only pay for drinks / food on the table tab if both players agree to this arrangement before the match begins.

Entering Match Results: Upon completion of a match, the winner must enter the result via the website. Our admin will then approve the result within 24 hours, allowing time to address any disputes or issues that may arise.

Match Summary: For the entertainment of your fellow division mates, please write a few words about the match after its completion. This is generally the winner's responsibility.

Spectators: You may bring a friend or spectator along to a match, provided your opponent agrees. If you have a spectator, you must not communicate with them while you are at the table. Additionally, any communication with your spectator must be kept to a minimum, and be in a language that both players understand.
Chat Function
1. Purpose: The chat function and tool provided on the Website is intended solely for organising snooker League matches and related activities. By using the chat function, you agree to use it exclusively for this purpose.
2. Code of Conduct: Respectful Communication: Players must treat each other with respect and refrain from using abusive language. Any form of abuse, including threats or offensive language, may result in a ban from the chat function and other Services.
3. Consequences of Misuse: Violations of the chat function rules will result in warnings, temporary bans, permanent bans and suspension from the Platform. Misuse may also lead to suspension from the League.
League Specific Terms & Conditions
Every PlayOn Snooker League will have its own specific set of Terms & Conditions, which you must consent to before signing up to any given league.

This will include any rules and regulations specific to the venue where each league is hosted, so please pay attention to these T&Cs each time you sign up to a league season.
