Some questions about hedging in tournaments

Posted By: Marv Porten

1. Is hedging allowed in the $ rounds of all ABT tournaments?

2. Are there any tournaments where the staff is actively involved in the hedging process, or is it solely between the two players?

3. If a dispute arises about a hedge, will the tournament staff get involved in hearing the dispute and making a decision?

4. Is it frowned upon when the clearly weaker player asks the clearly stronger player to hedge? Should only the stronger player be the one suggesting a hedge, if at all?

5. Is it an insult to ask the other player to sign a written hedge agreement?

6. Has anyone had (or know of) a bad experience with someone reneging on a hedge agreement?

7. Is it bad form to try to modify the hedge agreement in the middle of the match? (For example, the hedge is $500 at the beginning, but at DMP one of the players suggests increasing the hedge to $1000.)

8. Must the winner pay the loser at the end of the match? Or is it standard to wait for payment until the end of the tournament when prizes are awarded? (I heard about a tournament in Europe where the prize money was robbed before players were paid.)

9. What are some guidelines for determining the amount of the hedge?

Answers to questions that should have been asked are also appreciated.
