Splitting and honestly

So the following occured -

Player A asks a judge: “Are players allowed to split prizes?”

Judge: “Yes”

Player A asks Player B: “Will you split prizes?”

Player B: “Yes”

Player A: “Will you concede to me?”

Player B: “Yes”

Player A: “Please sign the match slip.”

*Players sign the match slip*

Player A: “I am not splitting prizes with you.”

I was under the impression that this wasn't allowed, but there have been differing opinions on this. Can Player A not split prizes after all that?

Splitting and honestly

A split is a private agreement between two players. Tournament staff should stay far away from it. Do not get involved.
