Pravidla:

“IT'S A KNOCKOUT!!” has been created with one sole and unique goal: to determine which non-national group has the BEST match-fighting team on Chess.com. Our highly motivated admin team will be organizing this all knockout competition.

The following rules will apply to all games:-

Admins are welcome to enter more than one group but must be prepared for those groups to play one another! Admins may only play for one group themselves

Pairings for each round will be randomly generated & the results announced with guidance on how to issue challenges

Each team will be composed of a maximum of 20(30 from S5) players and minimum 10 players where more players are clearly not available

To ensure rounds are conducted on a reasonable timescale, a 120 (91) from matches starting after 5/12/15) day cut-off will be applied to those matches that haven't reached a conclusion before then & victory will be awarded to the team with the higher score. ( Round results will be called at Group admin's discretion where cut off is reached and the result is very close to avoid the possibility of time wasting)

Winners only, progress to the next round.

.

Points awarded to banned players will be given to their opponents (this applies up until the next round starts). Where both players are banned, their points will be ignored

Match specifics : 2 simultaneous games, 2 days per move, on a date fixed by this group's admins. In the event of a tie, the team with the highest board win is awarded victory

*New Rule*

We have decided to allow matches to start earlier than the publicised start date. This must be agreed to by both admins and this must be noted by BOTH admins in the match notes. The maximum time for the match (91/120 days) will commence from the actual start date.

***amendment 1***

The rule regarding cut off has been amended regarding matches.

***Clarification of adjudication at cut off date***

***Reminder****

Inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated, and will be dealt with appropriately. This is a friendly tournament and disruptive behaviour will be addressed accordingly!

In all cases group admin decisions are final on all issues
