Tournament Information:👍
- Tournament to run for 14 nights.
- Games to be ECF graded.
- 2 games per night / plus 1 if required rescheduled game.
- 4 games against each league member.
- Entries to be split into two leagues.
- Uneven entries, league 2 to have the extra player.
- Qualification for leagues via long play grading for this year only; will revert to rapid play grading following year.
- 1 player to be promoted from league 2.
- 1 player to be relegated from league 1.
- All games must be played at the chess club on Rapid Play Nights.
- If games cannot be played it is the responsibility of the player who postponed the game to re-arrange; if this is not achievable that player will forfeit the game.
- New players to the club can join either league group depending on playing strength, games will be graded but result will not count towards the league.
A few rule reminders:😁
- 15 minutes / 10 second increment.
- Clocks start 7.30 – 7.45pm depending on set up. (you need to be there before 7.30pm to guarantee not to go into your default time.
- Default time is 15 minutes.
- Tournament director / arbiter will decide where the chess clock is placed.
- If an illegal move is made the clock is to be stopped; illegal move corrected and noted. Clock restarted. Two illegal moves made and the game is lost. (If there is disagreement the clocks are to be stopped and that is the end of the game; only after the arbitor’s game has finished will he look at the disagreement – will evaluate the issue and award points appropriately)
- Only the player whose clock is running is allowed to adjust the pieces.
