Registration:  To register for this exciting event, create your player name with  _LADY or _GENT as a suffix and e-mail diamond_db at wjcetc@netactive.co.za of your intention to play and providing your proposed player name.  All ratings must be 1500 for the event.  All registrations will be accepted by e-mail only.

Teams: There will be two teams of 40 players (maximum) each.
              
Format: Each Team member will play two matches for 5 points each, unrated, move forfeit timer turned off and with all other default settings left in place.  Matches will be restricted to 60 minutes each with our host, Eggy, deciding any unfinished matches.  Winners will post their win in the lobby for team credit (***me/you @ Table xx***).  Do NOT start until the host says to do so.  Your second round match will be posted in the lobby.  In the case of a tied final team score, the Captains will go head to head in a 9 point match.

Table Assignments:  Will be posted by the hosts starting at 12:30 PM PT.  To ensure an on time start, this time will be silent in the lobby chat.  To whisper to each other during this time, type /w [space] [playername] [space] and your message.

Boots/Disconnects:  Missing players will have 10 minutes to return to the match.  Failure to do so will result in forfeit.  Please do NOT close the match while you await your opponent’s return.

Kibitzing:  You may watch any match in silence unless invited to chat by BOTH players.  Players may mute any kibitzer or opponent.

IBA Winner Points:  3 IBA Winner Points will be awarded the winner of each match for this very special event.

Code of Conduct:  This is an IBA Sponsored Special Event.  Applicable IBA Tournament Rules, IBA Host Rules/Policy and Pogo Terms of Service will apply.

Players must be in Tournament Room 2 as early as possible, but no later than 15 minutes before the scheduled start or you will be substituted.  Remember the room holds only 100 players.  If you come even as late as 15 minutes before the scheduled start, you may not be able to get in.  Once seated with an opponent, please do not leave.

AGAIN:   There must be silence in the LOBBY 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to enable the hosts to complete assignments, post the rules and sort out any problems.  Your cooperation will be greatly admired!

If you have any questions, please email your Team Captains.
