Categories will play separately; By popular demand, there will be no amalgamation of sections. As a result, some sections may be too small to run a 7-round Swiss.

No half-point byes may be requested. A forced bye, due to an odd number of players in a section, is worth 1 point.

No spectators are allowed in the playing hall during the games, only players and officials. Parents, coaches, and other spectators must leave the hall 2 minutes after the round starts, during which time they can take photos.

Clocks, Sets, Boards, and Scoresheets are provided. All games will be played on the equipment provided, with the clock placed at Black's right side.

Time Control is 30 moves in 90 minutes; then 1 hour for the rest of the game.
