Ungraded players must provide evidence for the organisers to assess their playing strength and any previous known grade must be declared.

Prizes

The organisers reserve the right to redistribute in whole or in part any prize won by a competitor who has won or shared a prize.

Pairings

Ten minutes after the start of each round, new pairings may be made for each player whose opponent has not arrived and for any player otherwise having a full-point bye. Absent players will be defaulted after 10 minutes.
