Required. o TD may assign ratings for those who are not USCF rated. Tell TD if you have some non-USCF rating. o If there are late arrivals and/or odd number of players TD may start additional games with reduced time controls so next round may start on time. o We will try to accommodate not pairing family members or those that normally play each other a lot in rated games. Please advise the TD. o We will use the Official February Rating List. o TD has discretion to use more current rating. o USCF Dual rated 30 <= (55+10 = 65) <=65 Reminders: (please ask if you need more details) o QUIET especially in playing areas. Disruptive spectators will be asked to leave. o Problem? stop clock & notify TD to help resolve o Touch Move o You may only adjust pieces when it is your move (I adjust - softly!) o Must keep score. Penalties may be assessed for non-compliance. o After less than 5 mins left on either clock, neither player needs to keep score. o Please write down you moves after you make it so it is not thought that you are taking notes. Rule 15A. o Cell Phone: Silent/Off - players must leave it off person while playing and away from board. o Do not crowd around games when spectating. Spectators must be silent and stone faced! Thank you to the Triangle Chess Center for allowing us to use the facility. Any questions? Requests? Recommendations? Please send a note to: Gary Maltzman at [email protected] 919-244-3707 |
