• A player may purchase replay rounds for a tournament with a max of 3 total rounds / event.  As soon as a replay round begins the prior round is nullified towards tournament results but will count towards skins if the player bought into skins for that round.  A player can elect to rebuy into skins for a replay round but that will nullify any prior skins round and the prior skin fee is forfeit.
