Evanston Chess Presents:
Jun 12, 2010
9:00am-5:00pm

Swiss Groups
3SS G/70

Multiple Sections
USCF Regular Rated

Swiss Group Sections: Players will be assigned to sections by rating, eight players to a section, starting from the highest rated. From six to thirteen players may be assigned to the lowest section. Unrated players will usually be assigned to the lowest section but may be assigned higher at TD discretion. Playing strength will be estimated by regular ratings from the latest USCF ratings supplement.

Late arrivals will be added to the highest section in which they are not stronger than the highest rated player. If the late arrival is the strongest player in the tournament, then they shall be added to the highest section.

From time to time Evanston Chess pays one or more titled players to play in our events. We usually do not pair them against each other. Even if they should lose (it does happen) we may pair them with the highest score groups.

No Lunch Break: We need to be finished by 5:00 PM, so there will be no extra time between rounds for lunch.

Three rounds. Digital clocks are required and will be set to G/65 plus 5 seconds delay. Accelerated or decelerated pairings at TD discretion.

Registration from 9:00 to 9:30 AM. Players must check in by 9:30 am; players who arrive late will receive a half-point bye for the first round. First Round 9:45 am, last round over roughly 5:00 pm.

You may take one half-point bye in any round but the last.

Entry fee is $5, please pay cash (no checks) at the door. Masters and Experts play free.

Send name, USCF number, and telephone number to enter@evanstonchess.org.

Junior players (under fourteen years) rated 900+ are welcome. Sorry, but we do not accept junior players rated under 900. Must be accompanied by a parent throughout the event.
