CHECK IN AT TOURNAMENT

All registered players are required to check in at the check-in desk on the day of the tournament, located outside the playing hall.

Check-in Desk Hours of Operation

3:00 PM to 4:30 PM on Friday, July 29

Additional Details

Players who do not check in will not be paired for Round 1.

Players who miss check-in will not be paired for any round in the tournament until they check in directly with the Tournament Director. If pairings are already posted, the player will not be paired until the subsequent round.


Information on Requesting Tournament Byes

Bye points will be awarded based on the criteria below:

  • First two byes for Rounds 1-5 will be half-point byes (½)
  • Extra byes for Rounds 1-5 will be zero points (0)
  • Byes requested for Round 6 (last round) will be zero points (0)

Byes requested at registration can be changed by e-mailing the Tournament Director or at check-in on the day of the event. Once a player is checked in, all requested byes are final.

The Tournament Director may allow byes to meet urgent or special circumstances. Pairings already posted will not be modified: the player requiring a bye will receive a zero-point bye (0), the opponent will receive a one-point bye (1).

Failure to appear for a round without prior approval of the Tournament Director will result in a forfeit (0).
