months* or more, they start over and their next BGA tournament
is deemed to be their first BGA tournament for establishing a
BGA tournament index.
*This shall be calculated counting forward
from the last tournament played (that month counting as one

be played. If the total number of months counted is thirteen
(13) or more, the player is deemed to have not played in a

the BGA Tournament Index of any player as they deem appropriate.
