Tournament levy

All tournaments attract a levy of $2 per person per day. This is included in the tournament entry fee by the organisers and passed on to NZASP. The levy helps to fund players representing NZ at international tournaments.
Note: Due to the lack of many International tournaments in 2020-2021 in which NZ representatives normally participate, the NZASP Executive has waived National levies for every NZ Club for their first rated tournament of 2021.
