  • NEW: Announced variation:
    When a player is removed due to fair-play violation, scores will be adjusted as follows:
    1. If two or more rounds remain, all opponents of the disqualified player will receive a win by forfeit, unless they defeated the disqualified player, in which case they will retain a rated win.
    2. If the tournament has concluded, or if there is only one round remaining:
    The last opponent of the disqualified player will receive a win by forfeit.
    Other opponents who lost to the disqualified player will receive a half-point bye.
    Other opponents who drew with the disqualified player will receive a win by forfeit.
    Anyone who defeated the disqualified player will retain a rated win, instead of a forfeit win.
  • Forfeit time is 15 minutes: if player is not logged in by 6:45pm and 8:15pm, respectively, the opponent will be awarded a forfeit win.
     

9. Fair Play

  •  Fair-play screening: all games will be screened by both Chess.com and by Dr. Kenneth W. Regan, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University at Buffalo.
  • This is a US Chess online-rated tournament.  Most USCF rules and consequences apply.
  • Players should not use any outside assistance: not have other browsers open and not be talking to other people during their games
  • Parents are strongly encouraged to monitor their kids' activity during the tournament to ensure fair play.
  • Players found or believed to be violating fair play are not eligible for a prize and their account will be removed from the Mechanics' group.
  • Players who are confirmed to be using outside assistance will be reported to US Chess and restricted from future Mechanics' online and over-the-board events.
  • Parents -- Please help us educate your child that IT'S SIMPLY NOT WORTH THE RISK!
  • The Organizer and/or the Chief Tournament Director can require players to play their games with a camera that records the player playing with a view to the screen. Players should be prepared to provide this precaution if asked to do so.
  • Prize distributions and rating submission will take place AFTER all games have been screened.

     

10. FAQ

  • What do the time controls mean?
    Time controls tell you how much time you have for each game.
    G35+2, for example, means game in 35 minutes with 2-second increment. This means you get 35 minutes, your opponent gets 35 minutes and with each move a player gets 2 second added to the clock. So one game can last up to 70-80 minutes.
  • How many games/rounds?
    The 8SS before the time control means there are 8 rounds, which means a player play eight games in the tournament. The tournaments are never elimination, so win or lose you can stay in the tournament.
  • Do I need to join the club on Chess.com to play? 
    YES! For the automatically run tournament, it's very important to join the club!
