Uncontested Divisions 

A division is uncontested if it contains only a single competitor.

During the registration process the competitor will indicate their preference on how they wish to be moved if their division is uncontested. 

Nanka will consider the competitors indicated preference if the division is uncontested.

Nanka reserves the right to move a competitor into a different division to enable a match.

A competitor selecting " do not move"  will be withdrawn and a refund issued if  their division is uncontested.
