Lag rule for the Chessclub.com Championships:

          Bullet                      1,500 ms       2,500 ms
          Blitz                        2,500 ms       4,000 ms
         

In the above table, if your current lag (not average) consistently exceeds the first column AND you are delaying the tourney, your game may be forfeited.  If your lag is very severe (exceeds the second column), the tournament manager may remove you from the tourney without waiting for you to delay the tourney.  The manager will often use setgame to set the current game and keep the player in the tourney.  The manager has discretion whether to setgame for one round or remove the lagging player from the tourney.  Re-entry into the tournament is at the discretion of the manager.

Free trial members

Free trial members are invited to participate.  However, free trial members can not win prizes.

Cheating

Chessclub.com Administrators and Tomato Managers have full discretion regarding determination of computer cheating and action to be taken.  There is no need to have absolute proof of computer cheating prior to action being taken.  Suspicious circumstances (ie players losing many rating points just before a Qualifier) may be sufficient for action to be taken.

If you suspect a player of computer cheating, please do not make accusations in the tourney channel.  If you suspect someone of using computer assistance in a Championship event (or any games at Chessclub.com for that matter) read "help Speedtrap" for info on how to make a claim.  Players caught cheating in any form can be disqualified at any stage in the Championship.

Interface

You must use a version of BlitzIn, Dasher or Fixation.  Other interfaces will not be permitted to join.
