Invitation to Keres 197 Tourney

Starting information


Welcome players!  Here is the information you need to play the games in this tourney:

1. If you have not done so, please register at the
message board.  Use your ICC handle
    as your message board username.  (This is the easiest way for us to keep out spammers.)
2. Agree the playing time point with your opponent using the message board.  Make offers
    and respond to those of your opponent. 
After making an offer, we recommend that you
    send a short ICC message to your opponent saying that there are offers waiting at the
    message board.  However we also request that the actual offers and responses take place
    on the message board so that the negotiation is recorded should a disagreement arise..

3. Play the game!  When awaiting an opponent who is delayed, please wait up to 15
    minutes.  If your opponent still has not arrived then you may claim the forfeit win.
4. Report the game result in an ICC message to bmw2002.  Please include: Keres
    Tourney #, player handles in color order, game result.
5. Here is the decision criteria if a game is not successfully scheduled and played during
    the playing time of the round:
    *  If both players have offered playing times to their opponent at least twice on the Message
       Board, the result will be declared set game draw.
    *  If only one player has offered playing times to the opponent two or more times on the
       Message Board, the result will be declared a win by forfeit to this player.
    *  If neither player has offered playing times to the opponent at least twcie on the Message
       Board the result will be declared a double forfeit loss for both players.

    *  Player may request an extention to the playing time period if it is needed.
