Violation of this Section shall result in a fine of up to $20,000 in addition to any other fines provided in the Code. In circumstances that are flagrant and particularly injurious to the success of the tournament, or are singularly egregious, a single violation of this Section shall also constitute the Major Offence of "Aggravated Behaviour". In any case, two violations within the same calendar year shall also constitute the Major Offence of "Aggravated Behaviour". B. DETERMINATION AND PENALTY The Director, GSB shall make such investigation as is reasonable to determine the facts regarding all Entry Offences and upon determining that a violation has occurred shall specify the fine and/or other punishment therefore and mail written notice thereafter to the player. C. PAYMENT OF FINES All fines levied by the Director, GSB shall be paid by the player to the GSB by delivery to the Director, GSB within ten (10) days after the notice thereof is provided. D. REMISSION OF FINES A player who has been fined for Late Withdrawal or Non-Appearance as above provided may apply to the Director, GSB for remission of such fine. The Director, GSB may remit the "first" Late Withdrawal or Non-Appearance fine in each year only in the event that he is satisfied in his sole judgement and discretion that the reasons for such Late Withdrawal or Non-Appearance were genuine, not foreseeable at the time of entry, justified and unavoidable and that the player has conducted himself in a professional manner with respect thereto. In order to petition for remission of this "first" Late Withdrawal or Non-Appearance fine, the player must: 1. Have notified the Director, GSB and the Tournament Director as soon as reasonably possible after the onset or occurrence of the basis for such Late Withdrawal or Non-Appearance. 2. File with the Director, GSB on or before ten (10) days after the first day of the tournament a written statement explaining in detail the reasons for such Late Withdrawal or Non-Appearance, along with any other evidence that the player deems important to such petition.
