You are invited to play in the World

The tournament is Swiss style. The time control is thirty moves per
hour. Since a chess clock is usually available, the 2.5 minute rule is being
dropped.
This time, to enter,you must promise to get at least 2 Good Citizen points by
the end of Round 3. Usually this means that you will be the third-person
timekeeper for at least one game by the
end of Round 3.
If you have not received at least 2 GC points, you will be removed from the
Tournament.
If you do not have a chess clock, you can write to our chess list, and ask for
someone to show you how
to use a software chess clock. Probably, someone will help you.
This will mean that probably many of your games will have a third party
timekeeper.
You arrange to play your games at a time and date convenient to you. We can
work
around your schedule, even if you are going to be unavailable during the
tournament
for a week or so.
