Rules

CLUB TOURNAMENT RULES by Director of Play Stan Yee 29/04/13

I wish to remind members of the Club tournament rules.

1. If a tournament game is not played on Club night, then the player who is unable to attend defaults the game. Default for Grand Prix tournament games with standard time control, and all tournament games with rapid time control, is upon the non appearance of a player before the game is scheduled to start. Default for non-Grand Prix tournament games with standard time control is 30 minutes after the scheduled start.

2. If a player defaults two consecutive games in the same tournament with standard time control, that player is automatically withdrawn from the tournament.

2.(a) If a player defaults two consecutive games in the same tournament with rapid time control, that player is automatically withdrawn from the tournament.

3. The Director of Play will NOT be giving permission to play any games before or after the scheduled date, so any games not played on the scheduled date will be defaulted by the non appearance of a player on Club night according to Rule 1 above.

4. Entry to all tournaments closes at 8pm sharp on the night of the first round, except for Grand Prix tournaments when the closing date and time is advertised on the entry form.
