TOURNAMENTS  SECTION XII - WTA TOURNAMENT MEMBERSHIPS d.  Second or Subsequent Request from Tournament Class Member e.  Tournament Cancellation Due to Health, Safety, or other Matters The same provisions set out in Section XII.G.2.b. – After the No Release  Deadline – also apply to a Member making a second or subsequent  request to be released from its obligation to conduct its Tournament. Nothing herein shall either exempt or absolve the member from i) its  obligation to pay the Announced Prize Money to the WTA, or ii) its other  financial obligations set forth in the Rules. The WTA may cancel or adjust a Tournament’s schedule or procedures  due to health, safety, or other matters involving risk to players, staff,  and/or spectators. Before cancellation of a Tournament pursuant to this  sub-Section e, the WTA will consult with the Tournament as well as the  local health, law enforcement, or other government authorities, where  applicable. Cancellation should be undertaken as a last resort, and the  WTA should use great discretion before taking such action. In the event  of cancellation by the WTA pursuant to this sub-Section e, the No Release  Rule will not apply; provided the reason for the cancellation was outside  of the control or prevention of the Tournament. (See Section IX.D.1 for  payment of prize money.) A member may appeal to the Board of Directors for a waiver or reduction of  the requirements and penalties set forth above in the event of a fire, flood, act  of war, terrorist act, or similar event which is outside the control or prevention  of the Tournament. However, the decision to grant such waiver or reduction shall be in the sole  discretion of the Board of Directors. 3.  Appeal to Board of Directors 4.  WTA Payments to Tournament Class Members 5.
