Rules:
1) SYSTEM. Danish
2) STANDARD MATCH will be 2 GvI + 2 FvA + 1 Duo. So each Match assigns 10 Victory-Points (10-0, 9-1, 8-2, 7-3, 6-4, 5-5)
3) TOURNAMENT NUMBER (TN). Players must declare their VDip ranking as they sign up [or the Tournament-Master takes note of it]. Pre-ranking allow players placed in the previous Tournament to have lower TNs. Once the signing-up phase is over, TN are assigned by pre-ranking and ranking as stated just above in this thread.
4) FIRST ROUND'S PAIRINGS will be made with the SERPENTINE method by TN:
Board A will be: lowest TN vs. highest - Board B: 2nd lowest vs. 2nd highest - and so on.
5) TIEBREAKING. The "BEST CUMULATIVES' SUM SYSTEM" will be used. If it doesn't help, the lower TN will be favoured.
6) GAMES NOT STARTED (BYE). If a player skip one or more games of a Match then:
- The player who showed up gets 2 VP for the first game not started and 1 VP for the remaining games not started.
- The player who forfeited gets -1 VP for the first and 0 for the others.
So if a player skips an entire Match the result will be 6 to -1. No more penalties, no disqualifications.

Courtesy:
Given that a second round cannot be started until the first round is completed, games will have an EOG set for 1912. Where if someone is winning on that turn he will be declared the winner.

To make sure that rounds end in a timely manner I ask that you finalize each turn as early as possible.

If Guaroz's time proposal gets done, then games will be set with a maximum time of 2 weeks.
