7. Tournament Rules
- Standard US Chess rules apply.
- Forfeit time is 60 minutes. If player is not present at the board by 7:30pm, the opponent will be awarded a forfeit win.
8. FAQ
- What do the time controls mean?
Time controls tell you how much time you have for each game.
G120;d5 means game in 120 minutes (2 hours) with a 5-second delay before each move. This means you get 120 minutes, your opponent gets 120 minutes, and at each move the clock counts down from 5 to 0 before the player's time starts. If player doesn't use up the whole 5 seconds, that time is lost. - How many games/rounds?
The 7SS before the time control means there are seven rounds, or seven games that a player can play in the tournament. The tournaments are never elimination, so win or lose, you can stay in the tournament. - Players Database
