Tournament rules:

+ Show Spoiler +
Format:
Swiss tournament, 7 rounds.

Time controls:
10 minutes per player, no increments.

Schedule:
One round per week; normally, rounds start always on Sunday, exactly at 23:00 KST (16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT). However, people can reschedule their game to any date within given week as long as there's mutual agreement about that (use PMs for that, not this thread!).

October 28 - November 3 - sign-ups
November 4 - November 10 - 1st round
November 11 - November 17 - 2nd round
November 18 - November 24 - 3rd round
November 25 - December 1 - 4th round
December 2 - December 8 - 5th round
December 9 - December 15 - 6th round
December 16 - December 22 - 7th round

Pairings:
Announced in this thread every Monday after previous round.

1st Round - random; (to be announced on November 4).
2nd Round - 9 Round - Swiss style (to be announced...).

Website:
http://www.playok.com/ (free and instant registration, no e-mails required).

Accounts:
Obligatory "tl" tag in account name (example: tlwingpawn); no smurfs.

Games:
After each game is played, BOTH it's participants PM me with a link appearing in their stats.
(example: http://www.playok.com/en/game.phtml/227782383?ch)
All games have to be played with proper colours and time controls - otherwise, regame is obligatory.

Player obligations:
- PMing me with the links to their finished games as soon as they are over and regardless of the result.
- Checking their PM box at least once a day and answering your opponents / arbiter as soon as possible.
- Regarding rescheduling: PMing the opponent at least 48 hours before the proposed reschedule date.

and, of course:

- Having about 30 minutes of free time every week to actually play one game.


Forefit rules:
two-way forefit when both players are absent;
one-way forefit when one player is absent.
+ Show Spoiler [PROCEDURE] +
(the other player PMs me during the round and I try to reach the "dodger", then go to his game to confirm the score).


Rescheduling games:
Allowed, when mutual agreement is reached.
Note: It's the sole responsibility of the players to reschedule their games; please, do not ask the arbiter to do so!

Delays:
10-minute max.
+ Show Spoiler [PROCEDURE] +
After PMing me as in "forefit rules", the player waits for his opponent between 23:00 KST and 23:10 KST and if the opponent is still absent, the game is pronounced as a forefit towards the waiting player.


Disconnects:
60-second margin of re-connect.
+ Show Spoiler [PROCEDURE] +
PlayOK has default 60-second delay between a disconnect and forefit. This should be fine for the purpose of the tournament.


Cheats:
Disallowed.
+ Show Spoiler [PROCEDURE] +
All suspicious games and complaints will be reviewed with a strong chess engine and common sense analysis by the arbiter. Also, PlayOK has a feature of "greying out" nicknames of players, who are leaving the game window, so that should help the players.


Tiebreak rules:
1) Head-to-head game.
2) Number of wins.
3) Sonneborn-Berger score.
4) If all of above fails - joint positions.

Prizes:
None, besides e-penis enlargement.

Arbiter:
Me, wingpawn (not playing, obviously).

Ten minutes per player? :O I would consider joining if it were ten minutes per half-move...(though I would be a total patzer either way). I know people have schedules to get to, though.

At least we have enough players to actually make it to 7 rounds. Couple of days left, I wish we get to 20 participants.

Your dejected tone and Australian-friendly time zone has convinced me to play to despite being shit at chess. Someone has to make the rest of you look good.

tlsalivanth.
<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)
